Programming Problem Using Mathematica

Question

I interact with an external program with Mathematica. I am creating an input file for an external program. Its converting geometry data from mathematica-generated graphics into a predefined format. Here is an example of geometry.

Picture 1

Geometry can be described in many ways in Mathematica. One painstaking way is as follows.

dat={{1.,-1.,0.},{0.,-1.,0.5},{0.,-1.,-0.5},{1.,-0.3333,0.},{0.,-0.3333,0.5},
{0.,-0.3333,-0.5},{1.,0.3333,0.},{0.,0.3333,0.5},{0.,0.3333,-0.5},{1.,1.,0.},
{0.,1.,0.5},{0.,1.,-0.5},{10.,-1.,0.},{10.,-0.3333,0.},{10.,0.3333,0.},{10.,1.,0.}};

Show[ListPointPlot3D[dat,PlotStyle->{{Red,PointSize[Large]}}],Graphics3D[{Opacity[.8],
Cyan,GraphicsComplex[dat,Polygon[{{1,2,5,4},{1,3,6,4},{2,3,6,5},{4,5,8,7},{4,6,9,7},
{5,6,9,8},{7,8,11,10},{7,9,12,10},{8,9,12,11},{1,2,3},{10,12,11},{1,4,14,13},
{4,7,15,14},{7,10,16,15}}]]}],AspectRatio->GoldenRatio]

This creates the required 3D geometry in GraphicsComplexMMA format .

This geometry is described as the next input file for my external program.

# end of input file

Now the description from the documentation for this external program is quite short. I quote it here.

Q1

, . :

(* Split every triangle in 3 edges, with nodes in each edge sorted *)
triangleEdges = (Sort /@ Subsets[#, {2}]) & /@ polygons;

(* Generate a list of edges *)
singleEdges = Union[Flatten[triangleEdges, 1]];

(* Define a function which, given an edge (node number list), returns the bordering  *)
(* triangle numbers. It done by working through each of the triangles' edges       *)
ClearAll[edgesNeighbors]
edgesNeighbors[_] = {};
MapIndexed[(
   edgesNeighbors[#1[[1]]] = Flatten[{edgesNeighbors[#1[[1]]], #2[[1]]}];
   edgesNeighbors[#1[[2]]] = Flatten[{edgesNeighbors[#1[[2]]], #2[[1]]}];
   edgesNeighbors[#1[[3]]] = Flatten[{edgesNeighbors[#1[[3]]], #2[[1]]}];
   ) &, triangleEdges
];

(* Build a triangle relation table. Each '1' indicates a triangle relation *)
relations = ConstantArray[0, {triangleEdges // Length, triangleEdges // Length}];
Scan[
  (n = edgesNeighbors[##]; 
     If[Length[n] == 2, 
        {n1, n2} = n; 
        relations[[n1, n2]] = 1;  relations[[n2, n1]] = 1];
   ) &, singleEdges
]

MatrixPlot[relations]

(* Build a neighborhood list *)
triangleNeigbours = 
    Table[Flatten[Position[relations[[i]], 1]], {i,triangleEdges // Length}];

(* Test: Which triangles border on triangle number 1? *)
triangleNeigbours[[1]]

(* ==> {32, 61, 83} *)

(* Check this *)
polygons[[{1, 32, 61, 83}]]

(* ==> {{1, 2, 3}, {3, 2, 52}, {1, 3, 50}, {19, 2, 1}} *)
(* Indeed, they all share an edge with #1 *)
