pointIndex = -1 in paraView
1 Attachment(s)
dear foamers.
i am now confused by the -1 pointIndex in paraView, as what has been attached. although the polyMesh is generated manually, i firstly do not think this comes from the files in polyMesh folder because it seems that the geometry and topology can be recognized. besides, the pointIndex -1 seems to correspond to the cell type (Pyramid and Tetrahedron). i am very sorry that my mesh files could not be uploaded correctly. could someone give some hints or suggestions with the attached image? thanks a lot! /karelke |
Quick question: How exactly are you getting these arrays named "Point Index *"? Did you use a filter in ParaView to generate these fields?
Because my guess is that these fields were loaded from the time folder, e.g. from the folder "0". |

i am working on paraview 4.1.0 and i think i do not use any filter to generate fields. i just want to view the mesh and paraview gives me this strange results. i choose the Spreadsheet View option and change the Attribute from fields to cell data because i just intend to view the mesh. and then i got what shown in the attached image. checkMesh gives: Code:
Checking geometry... thanks very much! |
Hi Karelke,
I can't do much with the files from the "sets" folder, because they only provide the lists of indexes and none of them are "-1". Therefore, if the mesh cannot be provided in public, please send me a DropBox link or similar via private message. The output from checkMesh is a considerably great reason for concern, because even hard to believe that solver will not crash with such a mesh. In addition, having the mesh located at such a large distance from the origin of the referential: Code:
(1.12393e+06 -1.69078e+06 -0.5) (1.25165e+06 -1.54424e+06 0.5) Code:
transformPoints -translate '(-1.12393e+06 1.69078e+06 0.0)' -region networkMesh edit: I forgot to ask: What files do you have inside the folder "0/networkMesh"? Best regards, Bruno |

Hi Karelke,
I've received the files with success. I'm unable to reproduce the same issue you're getting. I need to know more details, namely:

what if you choose the spreadsheet view as shown in the attached image. after that, you can change the Attribute entry from point data to cell data, and sort the sheet by cell type. (see attached image:)) |

I've tested this just now with OpenFOAM 2.3.0 + ParaView 4.1.0 on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit, installed from Deb package. What I get is shown in the first (left) attached image.
What fields do you have loaded in the "Volume Sections" on the lower left? In addition, do you have any additional plug-ins loaded? From the menu, choose "Tools -> Manage plugins...". The second (right) image attached shows the default plug-ins that should be loaded. |

i think no additional plug-ins are loaded. as attached. and you may need click on the button "Toggle cell connectivity visibility" (shown in the third image) and sort the sheet by cell type. then you can see the pointIndex. |

OK, two details:

Code:
Breakdown of polyhedra by number of faces: In the image is shown up to "Point Index 15", because you have loaded all mesh regions and there should be at least one polyhedral cell that has 16 vertexes (points). |
