cell centers

cell centers module produces a mesh containing Point cell set, each point of which represents a geometrical center of a corresponding cell in the input mesh. The coordinates of cell centers are calculated by averaging coordinates of all the nodes of a cell. The number of nodes in the output mesh is equal to number of cells in the input mesh. If the input mesh contains Cell_Data it becomes a Node_Data in the output mesh with each node values equal to corresponding cell value. Nodal data is not output directly. You can use this module to create a position mesh for the glyphs at nodes module. You may also use this module as mesh input to the interpolate nodal data module, then send the same nodal values as the input grid, to create interpolated nodal values at cell centroids.

Module Input Ports

• Input Field [Field] Accepts a field.

Module Output Ports

• Output Field [Field / Minor] Outputs the field as points representing the centers of the cells.
• Output Object [Renderable]: Outputs to the viewer.
