Construct cellZone based on a cellLabelList

Tobi · June 21, 2017, 10:53

Hi everybody,

I am trying to build a cellZone which has no physical meaning but I want to check it out in paraview. The cellZone I am trying to create has arbitrary (random) cells. E.g. by using the bounding box of the geometry and the Random object class, I make arbitrary positions which I then use to check if there is a cell at that position (mesh.findCell()). After that I have the cellLabels in a labelList which I want to transform to a cellZone now in order to visualize the cells that are selected.

Right now, I cannot find anything in Doxygen but I will go to setSets in order to see how it is done there. However, maybe someone is faster and know it already

Hi all,

problem solved and it was easy as always (there might be a better way)

label list of cells are used to construct a cellSet
cellSet is used to write the cellSet
topoSet is used to change the cellSet into a cellZone

That is fine for me
