How to access and manage the mesh entities and mesh quantities ?

Mesh variables

These variables are defined in the files mesh.f90 and cs_mesh.h.

  • The Fortran variables are global in the code, accessible directly by their name.
  • Members of the global C structure cs_glob_mesh are accessed as:
    cs_glob_mesh->name,
    i.e. adding cs_glob_mesh-> in front of the name of the variable.
Fortran code C code Description
ndim cs_glob_mesh->dim Space dimension
ncelet cs_glob_mesh->n_cells_with_ghosts Total number of cells on the local rank
(n_cells + n_ghost_cells)
ncel cs_glob_mesh->n_cells Number of cells
nfac cs_glob_mesh->n_i_faces Number of interior faces
nfabor cs_glob_mesh->n_b_faces Number of boundary faces
nnod cs_glob_mesh->n_vertices Number of vertices
- cs_glob_mesh->n_b_cells Number of boundary cells
lndfac cs_glob_mesh->i_face_vtx_connect_size Size of the connectivity
interior faces -> vertices

Mesh quantity variables

These variables are defined in the files mesh.f90 and cs_mesh_quantities.h.

  • The Fortran variables are global in the code, accessible directly by their name.
  • Members of the global C structure cs_glob_mesh_quantities are accessed as:
    cs_glob_mesh_quantities->name,
    i.e. adding cs_glob_mesh_quantities-> in front of the name of the variable.
Fortran code C code Description
isympa cs_glob_mesh_quantities->b_sym_flag Symmetry flag for boundary faces
xyzcen cs_glob_mesh_quantities->cell_cen Cell center coordinates
surfac cs_glob_mesh_quantities->i_face_normal Surface normal of interior faces
surfbo cs_glob_mesh_quantities->b_face_normal Surface normal of border faces
cdgfac cs_glob_mesh_quantities->i_face_cog Center of gravity of interior faces
cdgfbo cs_glob_mesh_quantities->b_face_cog Center of gravity of border faces
volume cs_glob_mesh_quantities->cell_vol Cell volume
surfan cs_glob_mesh_quantities->i_face_surf Surface of interior faces
surfbn cs_glob_mesh_quantities->b_face_surf Surface of boundary faces
dist cs_glob_mesh_quantities->i_dist Distance between the cell center and
the center of gravity of interior faces
