TesselationWrapper

TesselationWrapper (still in development) can be used for building and performing basic operations on the triangulation or tesselation of sphere packings. It should be accessed directly from python or included in another engine doing more complex things (e.g. MicroMacroAnalyser - see below, TriangulationCollider, VolumicContactLaw).

MicroMacroAnalyzer

The engine MicroMacroAnalyzer computes quantities like fabric tensor, local porosity, local deformation, and other micromechanicaly defined quantities based on triangulation/tesselation of the packing.

(*) Regular is for weighted points (center + radius), while the usual Delaunay is for points.
