About the Mapping Mesh Toolbox

The Mapping Mesh Toolbox is a tool to create new finite element meshes for use with the redAnTS GUI. It should only be accessed by choosing "Create Mapping" under the Mesh menu in the redAnTS GUI. It accepts the handle to the main GUI figure as input and returns the mesh file name and the mesh field to the main GUI handles structure.

Any domain must be built from 4-sided subdomains, which are joined together. Curved sides and varying element size are supported. The final mesh will be composed of 3-noded elements.

When you finish drawing your desired domain, MappingMeshTool writes a mesh generation file, calls the program mesh_3tri, and writes and loads a final mesh file. That file can later be loaded directly from the redAnTS GUI using the "Import - Mapping" option from the Mesh menu.
