Hello Everyone,

I would like to understand what each column specifies in a .cel file when I export a region?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about the format, but why don't you make a simple mesh with only 4 cells or so and export it, it'll be much easier to tell what output corresponds to what in the mesh.

Maybe this helps to unterstand the format:



Code:
The newer .cel format (v4)

PROSTAR_CELL
     4000      2  0  0  0  0  0  0
   cellid  shape  nvrt  ctid  celltype
   cellid   vrt1 ... vrt8
   cellid   vrt9 ... vrt16
   ...

shape =   1 point
shape =   2 line
shape =   3 tri/quad
shape =  11 hexa
shape =  12 prism
shape =  13 tetra
shape =  14 pyramid
shape = 255 polyhedron

    cellid         11          8          2          1
    385496      50103      45783      45786      50104     458295      45784      45787     458296
    385497         11          8          2          1
    385497      50102      45780      45783      50103     458297      45781      45784     458295
    385498         11          8          2          1
