SimPEG.utils.model_builder.create_ellipse_in_wholespace(cell_centers, center=None, anisotropy=None, slope=10.0, theta=0.0)[source]#

Construct cell-centered model comprised of an ellipsoid in a wholespace.

Parameters:
cell_centers(n_cells, dim) numpy.ndarray or discretize.base.BaseMesh

A mesh or its gridded cell center locations

center(dim) numpy.ndarray, optional

Center of the ellipsoid, default is [0, 0, 0]

anisotropy(dim) numpy.ndarray, optional

Anisotropy, default is an isotropic elipse ([1, 1, 1]).

slopefloat, optional

Slope

thetafloat, optional

Angle

Returns:
(n_cells) numpy.ndarray

Physical property model defined at the cell centers
