How to access to cellSets in the mesh

anon_q · October 13, 2018, 12:09

If I create a cellSet as an instance object of cellSet class (I am not talking about those created using setSet or topoSet utilities...). Could I access the cellSets I create given a mesh instance?
Example:

if I create a cellSet:

Code:

cellSet myCellSet
(
IOobject
(
         "myCellSet",
         runTime.timeName(),
         runTime,
         IOobject::NO_READ,
         IOobject::AUTO_WRITE

)

);

Suppose I have mesh object could I access the available cellSet, I mean something like this:

Code:

// Does it exist some method as this pseudocode that returns cellSet?

mesh.cellSets().byName("myCellSet");

I am not sure, but i think that if you construct the cellSet object from a dictionary you cannot access it later through a mesh instante since it is not passed to the constructor. Check the available constructors in cellSet.H (https://github.com/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM...Sets/cellSet.H) and choose the one that suits your needs.
