Initialises a Mesh object from xml, or a regular mesh from arguments.

Parameters

  • parent_model (model.Model object) – the model to which this Mesh object will be associated

  • uuid (uuid.UUID, optional) – the uuid of an existing RESQML obj_Grid2dRepresentation object from which this resqpy Mesh object is populated

  • mesh_file (string, optional) – file name, required if initialising from an RMS text or zmap+ ascii file

  • mesh_format (string, optional) – ‘rms’ or ‘zmap’, required if initialising from an ascii file

  • mesh_flavour (string, default 'explicit') – required flavour when reading from a mesh file; one of: ‘explicit’, ‘regular’ (z values discarded), ‘reg&z’, ‘ref&z’

  • xyz_values (numpy int array of shape (nj, ni, 3), optional) – can be used to create an explicit mesh directly from the full array of points

  • nj (int, optional) – when generating a regular or ‘ref&z’ mesh, the number of nodes (NB. not ‘cells’) in the j axis of the regular mesh

  • ni (int, optional) – the number of nodes in the i axis of the regular or ref&z mesh

  • origin (triple float, optional) – the xyz origin of the regular mesh; use z value of zero if irrelevant

  • dxyz_dij (numpy float array of shape (2, 3), optional) – the xyz increment for each step in i and j axes; use z increments of zero if not applicable; eg. [[50.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 50.0, 0.0]] for mesh with 50 (m or ft) spacing where the I axis aligns with x axis and the J axis aligns with y axis; first of the two triplets relates to the I axis

  • z_values (numpy int array of shape (nj, ni), optional) – z values used when creating a ref&z flavour mesh; z_supporting_mesh_uuid must also be supplied

  • z_supporting_mesh_uuid (uuid.UUID, optional) – used to specify the supporting mesh when creating a ref&z or reg&z flavour mesh; z_values must also be supplied

  • surface_role (string, default 'map') – ‘map’ or ‘pick’; ignored if uuid is not None

  • crs_uuid (uuid.Uuid or string, optional) – required if generating a regular mesh, the uuid of the crs

  • title (str, optional) – the citation title to use for a new mesh; ignored if uuid is not None

  • originator (str, optional) – the name of the person creating the mesh, defaults to login id; ignored if uuid is not None

  • extra_metadata (dict, optional) – string key, value pairs to add as extra metadata for the mesh; ignored if uuid is not None

Returns

the newly created Mesh object

Notes

a mesh is a set of x,y,z (or x,y) points organised into a 2D lattice indexed by j,i; the z values are sometimes not applicable and then can be set to zero; 3 flavours of mesh are supported (the RESQML standard might allow for others): regular, where a constant xyz delta is applied with each step in i and j, starting from an origin, to yield a planar surface; explicit, where the full xyz (or xy) data is held as an array; ‘ref & z’, where another mesh is referred to for xy data, and z values are held in an array; there are 5 ways to initialise a Mesh object, in order of precedence: 1. pass uuid to initialise from xml 2. pass mesh_file, mesh_format and crs_uuid to load an explicit mesh from an ascii file 3. pass xyz_values and crs_uuid to create an explicit mesh from a numpy array 4. pass nj, ni, origin, dxyz_dij and crs_uuid to initialise a regular mesh directly 5. pass z_values, z_supporting_mesh_uuid and crs_uuid to initialise a ‘ref & z’ mesh 6. leave all optional arguments as None for an empty Mesh object

append_extra_metadata(meta_dict)

Append a given dictionary of metadata to the existing metadata.

property citation_title

Citation block title equivalent to self.title.

create_interpretation_and_feature(kind='horizon', name=None, interp_title_suffix=None, is_normal=True)

Creates xml and objects for a represented interpretaion and interpreted feature, if not already present.

create_xml(ext_uuid=None, use_xy_only=False, add_as_part=True, add_relationships=True, title=None, originator=None)[source]

Creates a grid 2d representation xml node from this mesh object and optionally adds as part of model.

Parameters

  • ext_uuid (uuid.UUID, optional) – the uuid of the hdf5 external part holding the mesh array

  • use_xy_only (boolean, default False) – if True and the flavour of this mesh is explicit, only the xy coordinates are stored in the hdf5 dataset, otherwise xyz are stored

  • add_as_part (boolean, default True) – if True, the newly created xml node is added as a part in the model

  • add_relationships (boolean, default True) – if True, a relationship xml part is created relating the new grid 2d part to the crs part (and optional interpretation part), and to the represented interpretation if present

  • title (string, optional) – used as the citation Title text; should be meaningful to a human

  • originator (string, optional) – the name of the human being who created the grid 2d representation part; default is to use the login name

Returns

the newly created grid 2d representation (mesh) xml node

classmethod from_regular_grid_column_property(parent_model, grid_uuid, property_uuid)[source]

Creates a reg&z flavoured Mesh from an aligned regular grid column property.

Parameters

  • parent_model (Model) – the model that the property is part of and the new Mesh will be part of

  • grid_uuid (UUID) – the uuid of the RegularGrid object

  • property_uuid (UUID) – the uuid of a property whose supporting representation is a RegularGrid and where the indexable elements are columns

Returns

a new Mesh object with flavour reg&z, the xy regular points are the column centres and the z values are the property values

Notes

the grid’s (constant) dx, dy & dz properties must be avaiable in the model; the property must not be a points property and must have a count of 1; discrete property data will be converted to continuous (float) data; if the property uom is of quantity class length, a suitable crs will be used for the mesh, otherwise the grid’s crs will be used and a uom extra metadata item will be added; calling code will need to call the write_hdf5() and create_xml() methods for the mesh

full_array_ref()[source]

Populates a full 2D(+1) numpy array of shape (nj, ni, 3) with xyz values, caches and returns.

Note

z values may be zero or not applicable when using the mesh as support for properties.

is_big()[source]

Returns True if the number of nodes exceeds 2^31 - 1, False otherwise.

property part

Standard part name corresponding to self.uuid.

property root

XML node corresponding to self.uuid.

set_represented_interpretation_root(interp_root)[source]

Makes a note of the xml root of the represented interpretation.

surface(quad_triangles=False)[source]

Returns a surface object generated from this mesh.

try_reuse()

Look for an equivalent existing RESQML object and modify the uuid of this object if found.

Returns

boolean – True if an equivalent object was found, False if not

Note

by design this method may change this object’s uuid as a side effect

write_hdf5(file_name=None, mode='a', use_xy_only=False)[source]

Create or append to an hdf5 file, writing datasets for the mesh depending on flavour.

title

Citation title

originator

Creator of object. By default, user id.

uuid
