subdivide¶

openpnm.topotools.subdivide(network, pores, shape, labels=[])[source]¶

It trim the pores and replace them by cubic networks with the sent shape.

Parameters

network (GenericNetwork) –
pores (array_like) – The first group of pores to be replaced
shape (array_like) – The shape of cubic networks in the target locations

Notes

It works only for cubic networks, and a check is performed to ensure this is the case.

Examples

>>> import openpnm as op
>>> pn = op.network.Cubic(shape=[5, 6, 5], spacing=0.001)
>>> pn.Np
150
>>> nano_pores = [2, 13, 14, 15]
>>> op.topotools.subdivide(network=pn, pores=nano_pores, shape=[4, 7, 3],
...                        labels='nano')
>>> pn.Np
