Hi! I would like to create a laplacian smoothing like on the image i attach below. The necessary files I need to make this quadmesh (the mesh generator) and the nodeconnect.m file is also attached here. I managed to create a regular mesh using the quadmesh generator, but I dont know how to increase the boundaries to create a laplician smoothing mesh like on the picture.
The attached nodeconnect.m -> nodeconnect computes all nodes connected to a given node. Called as nnods = nodeconnect(nodes,inod); here nnods i a list of connected nodes to the node and nodes=p.Connectivity is the connectivity matrix. Thank you so much for your help! :)

You can get something quite similar with the following code, and tune it by playing around with the gridsmooth function, number of smoothing steps, and relaxation parameter.
nx = 24;
ny = 8;
xmin = 0;
xmax = 3;
ymin = -0.5;
ymax = 1.5;
grid = rectgrid( nx, ny, [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] );
subplot(2,2,1)
plotgrid(grid)
if( 1 ) % Squeeze only right side y-coordinates.
grid.p(2,grid.p(1,:)==3) = linspace(0,1,ny+1);
else % Squeeze y-coordinates.
yl = linspace(-0.5,1.5,ny+1);
yr = linspace(0,1,ny+1);
y = [];
for i=1:ny+1
y = [ y linspace(yl(i),yr(i),nx+1) ];
end
grid.p(2,:) = y;
end
subplot(2,2,2)
plotgrid(grid)
% Remove boundary indicators from upper/lower
% boundaries to allow smoothing.
b_orig = grid.b;
grid.b(:,grid.b(3,:)==1) = []; % Remove lower boundary indices.
grid.b(:,grid.b(3,:)==3) = []; % Remove upper boundary indices.
grid = gridsmooth( grid, 60, 0.1, 2 );
grid.b = b_orig;
subplot(2,2,3)
plotgrid( grid )

for this was getting error in smooth grid so how can i overcome that

What did the error message say?
If you just want something that looks like the image you neither need QuadMesh nor Laplacian smoothing:
nx = 24; ny = 8; xmin = 0; xmax = 3; ymin = -0.5; ymax = 1.5;
[x,y] = meshgrid( linspace(xmin,xmax,nx+1), ...
linspace(ymin,ymax,ny+1));
% Shape/distribution 't' of y-points.
t = linspace(0,1,nx+1).^(1./(2+[1:nx+1]));
yl = linspace(-0.5,1.5,ny+1);
yr = linspace(0,1,ny+1);
y2 = [];
for i=1:ny+1
y_i = yl(i) - t*(yl(i)-yr(i));
y2 = [ y2; y_i ];
end
surf(x,y2,ones(size(x))); view(2), axis equal
