The fc_hypermesh Python package allows to generate conforming meshes of hypercubes, hyperrectangles or of any d-orthotopes by p-order simplices or orthotopes with their m-faces
The fc_hypermesh Python package is available from the Python Package Index, so to install/upgrade simply do
pip install fc_hypermesh -U
Thereafter, it's possible to run one of the demo functions
import fc_hypermesh fc_hypermesh.demos.demo01()
Meshing the rectangle [-1,1]x[0,1] by simplices with 12+1 points in x-axis and 5+1 points in y-axis:
from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh oTh=OrthMesh(2,[12,5],type='simplex',box=[[-1,1],[0,1]]) print(oTh)
The output of the print(oTh) command is:
OrthMesh object
d : 2
order : 1
box : [[-1.0, 1.0], [0.0, 1.0]]
mapping : None
Mesh (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,78,120)
Number of 1-faces : 4
[ 0] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,6,5)
[ 1] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,6,5)
[ 2] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,13,12)
[ 3] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,13,12)
Number of 0-faces : 4
[ 0] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,1,1)
[ 1] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,1,1)
[ 2] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,1,1)
[ 3] (order,type,nq,nme) : (1,simplex,1,1)
If matplotlib package is installed one can represent the mesh
from fc_tools.graphics import set_axes_equal import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ion() plt.figure(1) oTh.plotmesh(legend=True) plt.figure(2) oTh.plotmesh(m=1,legend=True,linewidth=3) plt.axis('off') set_axes_equal()

Meshing the rectangular cuboid [-1,1]x[0,1]x[0,2] by simplices with 11+1 points in x-axis, 5+1 points in y-axis and 10+1 points in z-axis:
from fc_hypermesh import OrthMesh oTh=OrthMesh(3,[10,5,10],box=[[-1,1],[0,1],[0,2]])
If matplotlib package is installed one can represent the mesh
from fc_tools.graphics import set_axes_equal import matplotlib.pyplot as plt plt.ion() plt.figure(1) oTh.plotmesh(legend=True,linewidth=0.5) set_axes_equal() plt.figure(2) oTh.plotmesh(m=2,legend=True,edgecolor=[0,0,0]) plt.axis('off') set_axes_equal()

There are eight demos functions in the fc_hypermesh.demos module named demo01 to demo08. The source code is in module demos.py. For example, run the following code under Python:
import fc_hypermesh fc_hypermesh.demos.demo01()
Bench of the OrthMesh constructor for a 3-dimensional orthotope tessellated with (order 1) simplices.
import fc_hypermesh fc_hypermesh.bench(3,range(20,170,20),type='simplex',box=[[-1,1],[-1,1],[-1,1]])
