Hi everyone,

Could you please help me to explain how we can get value at cell's vertex as shown in the attached image.
As I understand, alpha is volScalarField then it is determined at cell's center. However, when I use point view mode in Paraview, it is also display at point.
I am quite being confusion on this.

Thank you so much.

ParaView interpolates values from cell centers to nodes. You can disable this by "unchecking" box "Create cell-to-point filtered data" while opening the case
