How can I define the cell centers without using writeCellCenters?
 

Hello,

I want to define the cell centers so I have the coordinates for my Velocity U and my pressure p without using the command writeCellCenters. I have a mesh that do not move. Can somebody help me and know a method to avoid that the coordinates are written in every time directory?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

You can typically write

to see the available options. In your case you can use either

depending on the time folder, where you want the values to be written.

Hi Niels,

thank you very much :-)! It's quite simple :P.

Have a nice weekend.

Hi, my question is pretty much related to this thread =)
is it possible to get cell centers only for a cellSet? Not for every cell in my mesh?

I have some trouble with this utility.
I used it on the channel395 tutorial case and grid points don't make any sense:
Y is defined from 0 to 2 in blockMeshDict, but values for both block start from zero to 1. Also the second block is upside down.
There is only 15 unique Z values while there should be 30. Also there is no block in the Z direction so one doesn't expects any irregularity in that direction.

I don't expect the values be ordered (since the grid is stored in an unstructured manner), but I would expect the grids to have correct physical positions. Does anyone knows how to achieve this?
