Description
These cell types set values that define the members of this Cells Cell_Set as line cells, either with or without mid-edge nodes (cell_order = 2).
Modules that manipulate unstructured grids need the information defined here to correctly process this cell type.
Parameters
cell_nnodes = 2
cell_nnodes = 3
How many nodes make up the cell. Cells with mid-edge nodes have more nodes.
cell_corner_nnodes=;
In cells with mid-edge nodes, a value that specifies how many of the nodes in the cell are corner nodes.
cell_ndim = 1
How many spatial dimensions make up the cell.
cell_order = 1 or 2
cell_order = 1 means the cell has corner nodes only. cell_order = 2 means the cell has mid-edge nodes.
There is no FLD routine to retrieve this value.
poly_flag = 0
A flag that, when not 0, signals the renderer that this is an unstructured mesh representing a geometry (Polyline, Polytri). The renderer can use faster algorithms to render the object.
There is no FLD routine to retrieve this value.
cell_type = 2 or 12
An integer that uniquely identifies the type of cells in this cell_set. This is one means of discovering this; cell_name is another.
cell_name = "Line" or "Line2"
A string that uniquely identifies the type of cells in this cell_set.
node_uvw[1][3] or [3][3]=
A float array that defines the uvws for the nodes. The uvws are necessary when you are interpolating within a cell by calculating derivatives. The coordinates are parametric.
Examples
none.
