Hello, I would like to know if I can delete some of the mesh cell either from their cell index or from their midpoint ?
Consider the mesh below, I would like to selectively delete some of the elements like with cell id 1, 5 and 10. Is there a way to do it ?
I went through this post, which makes a copy of the mesh and using MeshEditor() deletes the specific cells, is this the only way or I can change my mesh without making a copy of it ?
I would highly appreciate some pointers on the same.
Thanks.
As far as I know you need to make a copy if you want to delete a cell, as it would affect the dofmap of a corresponding FunctionSpace and the coefficients of a Function.
Why do you want to delete the cell? What is the usecase?
Actually, I want to use this mesh cell deletion to remove the mesh cells containing a specific value of the function say 1 and retain those mesh cells having another value of the function say 0. Kindly refer to my this post to get more understanding, in short I want to extract those mesh cell ids with say containing a particular value of function and deleting them.
I wouldn’t delete the cells, I would rather deactivate them (of course, adding additional boundary conditions for those cells that are now on the “activated” interface is not trivial).
Wow !! How does this activation, deactivation of cells with additional boundary conditions for activated cells work ? Can you please give me some resources on it to explore this method.
Thanks.
