Mesh Generation for Computational Science in Python

Question

I have a need for a Python module/package that provides a mesh on which I can do computational science? I am not doing graphics, so I don\'t think the blender package is wha

Answer 1

I recommend using NumPy (especially if you've used MATLAB before). Many computational scientists / mechanical engineers working in python might agree, but I'm biased as it found it's way into much of the last year of my research. It's part of SciPy: http://numpy.scipy.org/ I was fond of numpy.linspace(a,b,N) which makes an N length vector of equally spaced values from a to b. You can use numpy.ndarray to make a N x M matrix, or if you want 2D arrays use numpy.meshgrid.
