A topoSetCellSource to select cells based on volScalarField values, i.e. select cells with given field value of >= min and <= max.
| Operand | Type | Location |
|---|---|---|
| input | volScalarField | $FOAM_CASE/<time>/<inpField> |
| output | cellSet | $FOAM_CASE/constant/polyMesh/sets/<set> |
Example of the fieldToCell topoSet by using actions sub-dictionary in system/topoSetDict file:
{
// Mandatory (inherited) entries
name <name>;
type cellSet;
action <action>;
// Mandatory entries
source fieldToCell;
field <fieldName>;
min <minFieldValue>;
max <maxFieldValue>;
}
where the entries mean:
| Property | Description | Type | Required | Default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Name of cellSet | word | yes | - |
| type | Type name: cellSet | word | yes | - |
| action | Action applied on cells - see below | word | yes | - |
| source | Source name: fieldToCell | word | yes | - |
| field | Name of volScalarField to use | word | yes | - |
| min | The min value for the subset | scalar | yes | - |
| max | The max value for the subset | scalar | yes | - |
Options for the action entry:
new | Create a new cellSet from selected cells add | Add selected cells into this cellSet subtract | Remove selected cells from this cellSet
