Thank you. This works perfectly.
If anyone is interested in adapting this for a 2D mesh, only minor modifications are necessary, and the code snippet is as follows:
import gmsh
import pygmsh
import meshio
import numpy
from dolfin import *
msh = meshio.read("mesh2d.msh")
def create_mesh(mesh, cell_type, prune_z=False):
cells = mesh.get_cells_type(cell_type)
cell_data = mesh.get_cell_data("gmsh:physical", cell_type)
out_mesh = meshio.Mesh(points=mesh.points, cells={cell_type: cells}, cell_data={"name_to_read":[cell_data]})
if prune_z:
out_mesh.prune_z_0()
return out_mesh
line_mesh = create_mesh(msh, "line", prune_z=True)
meshio.write("mf.xdmf", line_mesh)
triangle_mesh = create_mesh(msh, "triangle", prune_z=True)
meshio.write("mesh.xdmf", triangle_mesh)
mesh = Mesh()
with XDMFFile("mesh.xdmf") as infile:
infile.read(mesh)
mvc = MeshValueCollection("size_t", mesh, 1)
with XDMFFile("mf.xdmf") as infile:
infile.read(mvc, "name_to_read")
mf = cpp.mesh.MeshFunctionSizet(mesh, mvc)
File("dolfinmesh.pvd").write(mesh)
File("dolfincellfunc.pvd").write(mf)
