Back to Finite Element (MFEM)
mfem.mesh.refineLocal
Locally refines specified elements in the mesh.
Syntax
mfem.mesh.refineLocal(mesh, elements)
Description
Locally refines specified elements in the mesh. Performs adaptive refinement by subdividing only the specified elements, leaving other elements unchanged. This is useful for adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) strategies where refinement is focused on regions with high error. The mesh maintains conformity by adding necessary transition elements between refined and unrefined regions.
Parameters
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| mesh | - The mesh to refine (modified in place) |
| elements | - Array of element indices to refine (0-based) |
Returns
void
