tetrahedra

schema/components/tetrahedra/1.2.0/tetrahedra.schema.json

The tetrahedra component defines a set of tetrahedral cells by their vertices and connectivity.

vertices — An array of 3D coordinates.
indices — An index array of vertex quadruplets, each defining a tetrahedron. Indices are 0-based.

The vertex coordinate columns follow the axis order declared in the object's coordinate_reference_system — see Coordinate reference systems and axis order.
