Hi Foamers,
following issue: I would like to calculate the size of a face or find some routine which will return this information. I am working with the DSMC solver. The basic lagrangian particle class is able to return the face label the particle I am looking at is in: Although, I am quite confused, there are 3: tetFace(); tetPt(); face(); The first two are described the same: Return current tet face particle is in The third one is described like this: Return current face particle is on otherwise -1 Question: Whats the difference between a tet face and a face? Whats a tet? Whats a tri? They are talking about that in the code all the time, but i'm not familiar with that terms ... Can anybody help me out with a simple routine of how to calculate the area of a face? Thank you so much in advance, best regards Georg |
