Hey all, I have this csv file which contains the x,y,z coordinates of photons (points) and the power per photon. Each face may have more than one point on them. My goal is to get the face that contains these points and assign a heat flux boundary condition to them.

How do I get the face a given point is currently in?

you can access the centroid of the face using F_CENTROID(x,f,t) to locate the face where your photon coordinates lie. Then identify these faces and store them in F_UDMI and assign the heat flux B.C later.
