Hi,
I'm trying to understand facePointPatch::meshPoints() and facePointPatch::localPoints(). I found following pages in the API guide: http://www.openfoam.com/documentatio...1be27508922162 I'm not quite sure about the difference between "mesh point" and "pointField of points in patch" mentioned in API guide. For the same facepatch P, is P.meshPoints() equals to P.localPoints()? besides, in a boundary deforming case, if I call localPoints() at time T, does it return the pointField information at time T (after deformation)? or the pointField at initial time (before deformation)? if I want to get the pointField at the initial time , which member function should I call? Thank you. |
