Algo module

The maia.algo module provides various algorithms to be applied to one of the two kind of trees defined by Maia:

  • maia.algo.dist module contains some operations applying on distributed trees

  • maia.algo.part module contains some operations applying on partitioned trees

In addition, some algorithms can be applied indistinctly to distributed or partitioned trees. These algorithms are accessible through the maia.algo module.

The maia.algo.seq module contains a few sequential utility algorithms.

Distributed algorithms

The following algorithms applies on maia distributed trees.

Connectivities conversions

convert_s_to_u(disttree_s, connectivity, comm, subset_loc={})

Performs the destructuration of the input dist_tree.

This function copies the GridCoordinate_t and (full) FlowSolution_t nodes, generate a NGon based connectivity and create a PointList for the following subset nodes: BC_t, BCDataSet_t and GridConnectivity1to1_t. In addition, a PointListDonor node is generated for GridConnectivity_t nodes.

Metadata nodes (“FamilyName_t”, “ReferenceState_t”, …) at zone and base level are also reported on the unstructured tree.

Note

Exists also as convert_s_to_ngon() with connectivity set to NGON_n and subset_loc set to FaceCenter.

Parameters

  • disttree_s (CGNSTree) – Structured tree

  • connectivity (str) – Type of elements used to describe the connectivity. Admissible values are "NGON_n" and "HEXA" (not yet implemented).

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • subset_loc (dict, optional) – Expected output GridLocation for the following subset nodes: BC_t, GC_t. For each label, output location can be a single location value, a list of locations or None to preserve the input value. Defaults to None.

Returns

CGNSTree – Unstructured disttree

Example

from mpi4py import MPI
import maia
from   maia.utils.test_utils import mesh_dir
dist_tree_s = maia.io.file_to_dist_tree(mesh_dir/'S_twoblocks.yaml', MPI.COMM_WORLD)

dist_tree_u = maia.algo.dist.convert_s_to_u(dist_tree_s, 'NGON_n', MPI.COMM_WORLD)
for zone in maia.pytree.get_all_Zone_t(dist_tree_u):
  assert maia.pytree.Zone.Type(zone) == "Unstructured"
convert_elements_to_ngon(dist_tree, comm, stable_sort=False)

Transform an element based connectivity into a polyedric (NGon based) connectivity.

Tree is modified in place : standard element are removed from the zones and the PointList are updated. If stable_sort is True, face based PointList keep their original values.

Requirement : the Element_t nodes appearing in the distributed zones must be ordered according to their dimension (either increasing or decreasing).

Parameters

  • dist_tree (CGNSTree) – Tree with connectivity described by standard elements

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • stable_sort (bool, optional) – If True, 2D elements described in the elements section keep their original id. Defaults to False.

Note that stable_sort is an experimental feature that brings the additional constraints:

  • 2D meshes are not supported;

  • 2D sections must have lower ElementRange than 3D sections.

Example

from mpi4py import MPI
import maia
from maia.utils.test_utils import mesh_dir

dist_tree = maia.io.file_to_dist_tree(mesh_dir/'Uelt_M6Wing.yaml', MPI.COMM_WORLD)
maia.algo.dist.convert_elements_to_ngon(dist_tree, MPI.COMM_WORLD)
ngons_to_elements(t, comm)

Transform a polyedric (NGon) based connectivity into a standard nodal connectivity.

Tree is modified in place : Polyedric element are removed from the zones and Pointlist (under the BC_t nodes) are updated.

Requirement : polygonal elements are supposed to describe only standard elements (ie tris, quads, tets, pyras, prisms and hexas)

Interface tools

connect_1to1_families(dist_tree, families, comm, periodic=None, **kwargs)

Find the matching faces between cgns nodes belonging to the two provided families.

For each one of the two families, all the BC_t or GridConnectivity_t nodes related to the family through a FamilyName/AdditionalFamilyName node will be included in the pairing process. These subset must have a Vertex or FaceCenter GridLocation.

If the interface is periodic, the transformation from the first to the second family entities must be specified using the periodic argument; a dictionnary with keys 'translation', 'rotation_center' and/or 'rotation_angle' is expected. Each key maps to a 3-sized numpy array, with missing keys defaulting zero vector.

Input tree is modified inplace : relevant GridConnectivity_t with PointList and PointListDonor data are created. If all the original elements are successfully paired, the original nodes are removed. Otherwise, unmatched faces remains in their original node which is suffixed by ‘_unmatched’.

This function allows the additional optional parameters:

  • location (default = ‘FaceCenter’) – Controls the output GridLocation of the created interfaces. ‘FaceCenter’ or ‘Vertex’ are admitted.

  • tol (default = 1e-2) – Geometric tolerance used to pair two points. Note that for each vertex, this tolerance is relative to the minimal distance to its neighbouring vertices.

Parameters

Data management

redistribute_tree(dist_tree, comm, policy='uniform')

Supported policies are:

  • uniform : each data array is equally reparted over all the processes

  • gather.N : all the data are moved on process N

  • gather : shortcut for gather.0

In both case, tree structure remains unchanged on all the processes (the tree is still a valid distributed tree). Input is modified inplace.

Parameters

  • dist_tree (CGNSTree) – Distributed tree

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • policy (str) – distribution policy (see above)

for zone in maia.pytree.iter_all_Zone_t(part_tree):
  cell_center = maia.algo.part.compute_cell_center(zone)
compute_face_center(zone)

Compute the face centers of a partitioned zone.

Input zone must have cartesian coordinates recorded under a unique GridCoordinates node.

Centers are computed using a basic average over the vertices of the faces.

Note

If zone is described with standard elements, centers will be computed for elements explicitly defined in cgns tree.

Parameters

zone (CGNSTree) – Partitionned 2D or 3D U CGNS Zone

Returns

face_center (array) – Flat (interlaced) numpy array of face centers

Example

from mpi4py import MPI

dist_tree = maia.io.file_to_dist_tree(mesh_dir/'U_ATB_45.yaml', MPI.COMM_WORLD)
part_tree = maia.factory.partition_dist_tree(dist_tree, MPI.COMM_WORLD)

for zone in maia.pytree.iter_all_Zone_t(part_tree):
  face_center = maia.algo.part.compute_face_center(zone)
compute_edge_center(zone)

Compute the edge centers of a partitioned zone.

Input zone must have cartesian coordinates recorded under a unique GridCoordinates node, and a unstructured standard elements connectivity.

Note

If zone is described with standard elements, centers will be computed for elements explicitly defined in cgns tree.

Parameters

zone (CGNSTree) – Partitionned 2D or 3D U-elts CGNS Zone

Returns

face_center (array) – Flat (interlaced) numpy array of edge centers

  edge_center = maia.algo.part.geometry.compute_edge_center(zone)
compute_wall_distance(part_tree, comm, *, method='cloud', families=[], point_cloud='CellCenter', out_fs_name='WallDistance')

Compute wall distances and add it in tree.

For each volumic point, compute the distance to the nearest face belonging to a BC of kind wall. Computation can be done using “cloud” or “propagation” method.

Note

Propagation method requires ParaDiGMa access and is only available for unstructured cell centered NGon connectivities grids. In addition, partitions must have been created from a single initial domain with this method.

Important

Distance are computed to the BCs belonging to one of the families specified in families list. If list is empty, we try to auto detect wall-like families. In both case, families are (for now) the only way to select BCs to include in wall distance computation. BCs having no FamilyName_t node are not considered.

Tree is modified inplace: computed distance are added in a FlowSolution container whose name can be specified with out_fs_name parameter.

Parameters

  • part_tree (CGNSTree) – Input partitionned tree

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • method ({'cloud', 'propagation'}, optional) – Choice of method. Defaults to “cloud”.

extract_part_from_zsr(part_tree, zsr_name, comm, containers_name=[], **options)

Extract the submesh defined by the provided ZoneSubRegion from the input volumic partitioned tree.

Dimension of the output mesh is set up accordingly to the GridLocation of the ZoneSubRegion. Submesh is returned as an independant partitioned CGNSTree and includes the relevant connectivities.

In addition, containers specified in containers_name list are transfered to the extracted tree. Containers to be transfered can be either of label FlowSolution_t or ZoneSubRegion_t.

Parameters

  • part_tree (CGNSTree) – Partitioned tree from which extraction is computed. Only U-NGon connectivities are managed.

  • zsr_name (str) – Name of the ZoneSubRegion_t node

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • containers_name (list of str) – List of the names of the fields containers to transfer on the output extracted tree.

  • **options – Options related to the extraction.

Returns

extracted_tree (CGNSTree) – Extracted submesh (partitioned)

Extraction can be controled by the optional kwargs:

  • graph_part_tool (str) – Partitioning tool used to balance the extracted zones. Admissible values are hilbert, parmetis, ptscotch. Note that vertex-located extractions require hilbert partitioning. Defaults to hilbert.

Important

  • Input tree must be unstructured and have a ngon connectivity.

  • Partitions must come from a single initial domain on input tree.

extract_part_from_bc_name(part_tree, bc_name, comm, transfer_dataset=True, containers_name=[], **options)

Extract the submesh defined by the provided BC name from the input volumic partitioned tree.

Behaviour and arguments of this function are similar to those of extract_part_from_zsr() (zsr_name becomes bc_name). Optional transfer_dataset argument allows to transfer BCDataSet from BC to the extracted mesh (default to True).

from   mpi4py import MPI
import maia
from   maia.utils.test_utils import mesh_dir

dist_tree = maia.io.file_to_dist_tree(mesh_dir/'U_ATB_45.yaml', MPI.COMM_WORLD)

Interpolations

interpolate_from_part_trees(src_tree, tgt_tree, comm, containers_name, location, **options)

Interpolate fields between two partitionned trees.

For now, interpolation is limited to lowest order: target points take the value of the closest point (or their englobing cell, depending of choosed options) in the source mesh. Interpolation strategy can be controled thought the options kwargs:

  • strategy (default = ‘Closest’) – control interpolation method

    • ‘Closest’ : Target points take the value of the closest source cell center.

    • ‘Location’ : Target points take the value of the cell in which they are located. Unlocated points have take a NaN value.

    • ‘LocationAndClosest’ : Use ‘Location’ method and then ‘ClosestPoint’ method for the unlocated points.

  • loc_tolerance (default = 1E-6) – Geometric tolerance for Location method.

Important

  • Source fields must be located at CellCenter.

  • Source tree must be unstructured and have a ngon connectivity.

See also

create_interpolator_from_part_trees() takes the same parameters, excepted containers_name, and returns an Interpolator object which can be used to exchange containers more than once through its Interpolator.exchange_fields(container_name) method.

Parameters

  • src_tree (CGNSTree) – Source tree, partitionned. Only U-NGon connectivities are managed.

  • tgt_tree (CGNSTree) – Target tree, partitionned. Structured or U-NGon connectivities are managed.

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • containers_name (list of str) – List of the names of the source FlowSolution_t nodes to transfer.

  • location ({'CellCenter', 'Vertex'}) – Expected target location of the fields.

  • **options – Options related to interpolation strategy

import maia
import maia.pytree as PT
comm = mpi4py.MPI.COMM_WORLD

dist_tree_src = maia.factory.generate_dist_block(11, 'Poly', comm)

    ['FlowSolution'], 'Vertex')
tgt_sol = PT.get_node_from_name(part_tree_tgt, 'FlowSolution')
assert tgt_sol is not None and PT.Subset.GridLocation(tgt_sol) == 'Vertex'
centers_to_nodes(tree, comm, containers_name=[], **options)

Create Vertex located FlowSolution_t from CellCenter located FlowSolution_t.

Interpolation is based on Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method: each cell contributes to each of its vertices with a weight computed from the distance between the cell isobarycenter and the vertice. The method can be tuned with the following kwargs:

  • idw_power (float, default = 1) – Power to which the cell-vertex distance is elevated.

  • cross_domain (bool, default = True) – If True, vertices located at domain interfaces also receive data from the opposite domain cells. This parameter does not apply to internal partitioning interfaces, which are always crossed.

Parameters

  • tree (CGNSTree) – Partionned tree. Only unstructured connectivities are managed.

  • comm (MPIComm) – MPI communicator

  • containers_name (list of str) – List of the names of the FlowSolution_t nodes to transfer.

  • **options – Options related to interpolation, see above.
