Create tetrahedral mesh out of figure

Hi, have a cylinder plot as a surface in a figure. I'd like to create a tetrahedral mesh for the cylinder. I used the cylinder function

if true
[X,Y,Z]=cylinder(R,N)
surf(X,Y,Z)
end

Thanks a lot!

Assuming you are trying to use PDE Toolbox, you can use the multicylinder function to create cylinder geometry and mesh as shown below.

R = 0.1;
H = 0.5;
gm = multicylinder(R,H);

% Assign it to a generic PDE model and plot the geometry.
model = createpde;
model.Geometry = gm;
figure
pdegplot(model,'FaceLabels','on')

%Generate mesh and plot the mesh.
generateMesh(model)
figure
pdemesh(model);
