[mesh manipulation] create faceZone consisting of shared faces of 2 cellSets

finn_amann · January 19, 2023, 13:32

Hello friends,

I have two cell sets that share some faces with one another. I would like to create a faceSet (eventually a faceZone) of these interfacing cells.

Does anyone know if topoSet is maybe providing a way to selects faces that are part of both cells? Unfortunately I can't use something a boxToCell source or some other simple geometric selection tool, as the interface of the two cellsets is geometrically complex.

Thanks in advance

I got it done by using a couple of cellToFace and faceToFace sources in topoSet.

The "subtract" action and the "both" and "all" options are very helpful.
