Good morning,

I have looked through the file structure used by openfoam and see that the field data I want (i.e the U vectors) are listed based on cell number:
Quote:
60000
(
(-8.48111e-06 -4.16254e-07 4.41009e-06)
(-2.36502e-05 -5.02387e-07 2.36241e-06)
(-2.78477e-05 -5.26683e-07 1.28443e-06)
(-3.10586e-05 -5.27151e-07 7.17121e-07)
(-3.2329e-05 -5.41e-07 2.91129e-07)
...
I would like to use this information with the polymesh location data for use in some code that I'm writing, but the polymesh data is far from user friendly. In order to determine the center of the cell (i.e. the location data for the U vectors above), it requires parsing owner to determine the faces of the cell, then parsing faces to find the points that make up that cell, and finally using points to determine the physical location of the cell. While I see the logic in such a structure, it may be beyond my programming/mental abilities to organize.

I am hoping that there is a utility or script out there which would streamline this process so I can quickly export the physical coordinates of each cell to be used in combination with the vector data.

Ultimately I'll likely be using this data to make a gridded product to be used in my own model, but I can handle that aspect.
