Surface Sampling (Patch Sampling)

Tobi · December 11, 2019, 03:31

Hi all,

may I ask you if it is possible to split a surface into - lets say - 20 equal spaced positions where we can track the data, e.g., the pressure value.

There are functions for sampling for e.g., surface and patch sampling. However, I could not determine if there is a simple method to get the pressure at one patch at different positions. I guess the probePatch function is most suited.

Hi there!

I am here about the same question..
I've done it by cuttingPlane and pointAndNorma planeType...
I've tried to put patchName there - but nothing changes...
I have like all the points by surface plane, not intersection plane surface and my geometry...

that's why now I write python script to grab only points on my geometry ( for me lowest Z points)

if you find solution please inform
