use patch to plot hexahedron with 20 nodes

9 views (last 30 days)
hi
i have a hexaedron with 20 nodes
i have coordonates X Y Z
and the conectivity [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20];
and the stress value of all nodes TZ
TZ=[ -0.0225
-0.0226
-0.0233
-0.0185
-0.0188
-0.0144
-0.0144
-0.0141
-0.0062
-0.0064

-0.0137]
how can i use patch to plot my hexaedon and take all nodes to make interpolation for facecolor ith TZ
i use this
patch('Faces',Rectangles,'Vertices',[Vertice(:,1) Vertice(:,2) Vertice(:,3)],'FaceVertexCData',TZ,'FaceColor','interp','Marker','.');
vertice is X Y Z for the hexaedron
TZ is color face
but when i come to determine rectangle or the point to make faces i have problem
i wante to use all points of hexaedre
i do this but it deasnt work
Bricks =[1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20];
Rectangles=[];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,1) Bricks(:,2) Bricks(:,3) Bricks(:,4) Bricks(:,5) Bricks(:,6) Bricks(:,7) Bricks(:,8)]];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,13) Bricks(:,14) Bricks(:,15) Bricks(:,16) Bricks(:,17) Bricks(:,18) Bricks(:,19) Bricks(:,20)]];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,1) Bricks(:,2) Bricks(:,3) Bricks(:,10) Bricks(:,15) Bricks(:,14) Bricks(:,13) Bricks(:,9)]];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,3) Bricks(:,4) Bricks(:,5) Bricks(:,11) Bricks(:,17) Bricks(:,16) Bricks(:,15) Bricks(:,10)]];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,5) Bricks(:,6) Bricks(:,7) Bricks(:,12) Bricks(:,19) Bricks(:,18) Bricks(:,17) Bricks(:,11)]];
Rectangles=[Rectangles ; [Bricks(:,7) Bricks(:,8) Bricks(:,1) Bricks(:,9) Bricks(:,13) Bricks(:,20) Bricks(:,19) Bricks(:,12)]];
some one tell me use rectangle and take just the point of a corner but it give me a wrong resultat
thank you for any help

Try to create patch for only one face, once you manage to do it, work your way towards patching all the faces.

Here we go
[x,y,z]=ndgrid(0:2);
xyz = [x(:) y(:) z(:)];
xyz(sum(xyz==1,2)>1,:)=[];
x=xyz(:,1);y=xyz(:,2);z=xyz(:,3);
a=atan2(z-1.001,x-1);
[~,is]=sortrows([y -a]);
xyz=xyz(is,:);
F = zeros(6,8);
i = 0;
for c=1:3
for v=[0 2]
r = find(xyz(:,c)==v);
st = xyz(r,:);
st(:,c) = [];
st = (st-[1 1]);
a = sign(v-1)*atan2(st(:,2),st(:,1));
[~,is] = sort(a);
i = i+1;
F(i,:) = r(is);
end
end
xyz = xyz/2;
% Create a dummy Stress
%Stress = 2-sqrt(sum((xyz-rand(1,3)).^2,2));
TZ=[ -0.0225
-0.0226
-0.0233
-0.0185
-0.0188
-0.0144
-0.0144

-0.0137];
Stress = abs(TZ);
StressNorm = (Stress-min(Stress))/(max(Stress)-min(Stress));
close all
figure
clmap = jet;
StressColor = interp1(linspace(0,1,size(clmap,1)),clmap,StressNorm,'nearest','extrap');
patch('Faces',F,'Vertices',xyz,'FaceVertexCData',StressColor,'FaceColor','interp');
hold on
%scatter3(xyz(:,1),xyz(:,2),xyz(:,3));
set(gca,'Xtick',[],'Ytick',[],'Ztick',[])
for k=1:size(xyz,1)
text(xyz(k,1),xyz(k,2),xyz(k,3),num2str(k));
end
xlabel('x');
ylabel('y');
zlabel('z');
view(3)
axis('equal');
