Coordinates around a cylinder

mesh
1

Hi everyone!
I want to get the coordinates of the cylinder’s surface.
I try

from fenics import *
from mshr import *
import numpy as np
from dolfin import *
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import math

y_h= 40

domain = channel - cylinder
mesh = generate_mesh(domain, 35)
cell_markers = MeshFunction("bool", mesh, mesh.topology().dim())
for c in cells(mesh):
    if c.midpoint().y() < 9 and c.midpoint().y() > -9 and c.midpoint().x() < 24 and c.midpoint().x() > -9:
                cell_markers[c] = True
    else:
                cell_markers[c] = False

mesh = refine(mesh, cell_markers)

cell_markers = MeshFunction("bool", mesh, mesh.topology().dim())

for c in cells(mesh):
    
    if c.midpoint().y() < 3 and c.midpoint().y() > -3 and c.midpoint().x() < 12 and c.midpoint().x() > -3:
                
                cell_markers[c] = True
    else:
                cell_markers[c] = False
    

class BoundaryCy(SubDomain):
    def inside(self, x, on_boundary):
        return on_boundary and x[0]>-0.55 and x[0]<0.55 and x[1]>-0.55 and x[1]<0.55

cy = BoundaryCy()

ipc=[]
xc=[]
yc=[]
for v in vertices(mesh):
    x = v.point().x()
    y = v.point().y()
    if cy.inside([v.point().x(), v.point().y()],True): 
        ipc.append(v.index())
        xc.append(x)
        yc.append(y)

        
plt.plot(xc,yc,'p')

and obtain

cylinder

not only the point of the cylinder…

Any suggestion?
Thank you!!

See for instance: How to plot the pressure distribution on the airfoil surface - #4 by dokken
as it shows how to get coordiantes of individual vertices based on a meshfunction.

Thank you, @dokken !!! This is exactly that I’m looking for.
