SphereSurfaceMeshGenerator
Generated sphere mesh - a two dimensional manifold embedded in three dimensional space
This object generates a 2D mesh approximating the surface of a sphere in 3D space using TRI3 triangle elements. Both center and radius of the sphere may be specified.
![](../../large_media/phase_field/sphere.gif)
Targeted mesh refinement prior to nucleus insertion.
The mesh is constructed by iterative refinement of an initial icosahedron (depth 0) for a number of steps specified using the depth
parameter. After each refinement step all nodes are snapped to the sphere surface defined by radius
and center
. Each refinement step multiplies the number of mesh elements by a factor of four.
