Python/numpy array partitioning

I'm using Python 3.6 and numpy.

From an hdf5 file I read a column of a table that is a 2D array.

Each row of the array holds the ID's of the nodes of a finite element.

The table is structured such that it holds both lower and higher order elements in the same table (which sucks, but is not a degree of freedom I can change)

So the array looks something like this (except that it has potentially millions of rows)

[[1,2,3,4,0,0,0,0],           #<- 4 Node quad data packed with zeros
 [3,4,5,6,0,0,0,0],             
 [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14],      #<- 8 node quad in the same table as 4 node quad
 [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]]

I need to separate this info into two separate arrays - one for the 4 node an done for 8 node rows.

[[1,2,3,4],          
 [3,4,5,6]]

[[7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14], 
 [15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]]

Right now I'm iterating over the 2D array, checking the value of the 5th value in each row and creating two index arrays - one identifying the 4 node rows and one the 8 node rows.

for element in elements:
    if element[5] == 0:
        tet4indices.append(index)
    else:        
        tet10indices.append(index)
    index+=1

Then I use index array slicing to get the two arrays

tet4s=elements[tet4indices, 0:5]
tet10s=elements[tet10indices,0:10]

The above works, but seems kinda ugly.

If anyone has a better solution, I'd be grateful to hear about it.....

Thanks in advance,

Doug

This code is generic enough to handle your use case. i.e. even if your rows are mixed up. Example for both cases are given below.

An example where the rows are in order:

In [41]: arr
Out[41]: 
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4,  0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 3,  4,  5,  6,  0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])

# extract first half
In [85]: zero_rows = arr[~np.all(arr, axis=1), :]

In [86]: zero_rows
Out[86]: 
array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]])

# to trim the trailing zeros in all the rows
In [84]: np.apply_along_axis(np.trim_zeros, 1, zero_rows)
Out[84]: 
array([[1, 2, 3, 4],
       [3, 4, 5, 6]])



# to extract second half
In [42]: mask_nzero = np.all(arr, axis=1)

In [43]: arr[mask_nzero, :]
Out[43]: 
array([[ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])

An example where the rows are mixed-up:

In [98]: mixed
Out[98]: 
array([[ 3,  4,  5,  6,  0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22],
       [ 1,  2,  3,  4,  0,  0,  0,  0]])

In [99]: zero_rows = mixed[~np.all(mixed, axis=1), :]

In [100]: zero_rows
Out[100]: 
array([[3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0]])

In [101]: np.apply_along_axis(np.trim_zeros, 1, zero_rows)
Out[101]: 
array([[3, 4, 5, 6],
       [1, 2, 3, 4]])

In [102]: mask_nzero = np.all(mixed, axis=1)

In [103]: mixed[mask_nzero, :]
Out[103]: 
array([[ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])

This works for me:

a=np.split(your_numpy_array,[4],1)
tet4s=np.vstack([a[0][i,:] for i in range(len(a[0])) if np.sum(a[1][i,:])==0])
tet10s=np.vstack([np.hstack((a[0][i,:],a[1][i,:])) for i in range(len(a[0])) if np.sum(a[1][i,:])>0])

In an array it's easy to find rows where the 5th element is 0, or not 0:

In [75]: arr = np.array(alist)
In [76]: arr
Out[76]: 
array([[ 1,  2,  3,  4,  0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 3,  4,  5,  6,  0,  0,  0,  0],
       [ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])
In [77]: arr[:,5]
Out[77]: array([ 0,  0, 12, 20])
In [78]: eights = np.where(arr[:,5])[0]
In [79]: eights
Out[79]: array([2, 3], dtype=int32)
In [80]: arr[eights,:]
Out[80]: 
array([[ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])
In [81]: fours = np.where(arr[:,5]==0)[0]
In [82]: arr[fours,:]
Out[82]: 
array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]])

Or with a boolean mask

In [83]: mask = arr[:,5]>0
In [84]: arr[mask,:]
Out[84]: 
array([[ 7,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14],
       [15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22]])
In [85]: arr[~mask,:]
Out[85]: 
array([[1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 0, 0, 0],
       [3, 4, 5, 6, 0, 0, 0, 0]])

You are lucky, in a sense, to have this clear 0 marker. Some finite element code duplicates node numbers to reduce the number, e.g. [1,2,3,3] for a 3 node element in a 4 node system. But in those cases the rest of the math works fine, even when you merge 2 nodes into one.
