udmi question, is it possible to hold memory when mesh or cas file changes?
 
Hello guys.

I want to compare two mesh files cell volumes.

But I can't. Because when i change my mesh file, the memory is initialized.

Is it possible?

Always, thank you for your helps :D

From my understanding, the UDMI is defined in each cell, which means it has dependence on the coordinates of your mesh. altering the mesh, and its coordinates, makes the result from previous mesh useless.

As Bruno has said, the UDM values only make sense for the current mesh; not another where the node coordinates are different. You could run a cell loop over the domain and print the average, standard deviation and other statistics of the cell volumes and then compare these metrics between meshes.
