Merging

Geometries and meshes can be merged into a single geometric object as illustrated in the following example. The resulting type depends on the combination of input types, and can be a Mesh or Multi geometry.

Base.merge — Method

merge(object₁, object₂)

Merge object₁ with object₂, i.e. concatenate the vertices and adjust the connectivities accordingly.

g = CartesianGrid(2, 2)
t = Triangle((3, 0), (4, 0), (3, 1))

m = merge(g, t)
