Finding neighbouring cells when looping over faces in faceSet

olwi · December 13, 2007, 05:10

Hi,

I have a faceSet defining an internal interface between two media. I need to set source terms in the neighbouring cells on either side of the interface.

Looping over the faceSet, how do I find cell labels of the "neighbor" and "owner" cells on either side of a face with a given face label?

Thanks in advance,

Ola

Easy:

mesh.owner()[faceIndex] and mesh.neighbour()[faceIndex]

Enjoy,

Thanks, Hrv!

I assumed it would be easy, but it beats my expectations, as usual.

Interesting stuff brewing in new application...
