These are the overlapping cells at the subdomain boundary. My recommendation would be to either mark these repeated cells as ghost cells (see <a href="https://blog.kitware.com/ghost-and-blanking-visibility-changes/" target="_blank">https://blog.kitware.com/ghost<wbr>-and-blanking-visibility-chang<wbr>es/</a> for information on that). Other than that, you could use the Clean to Grid filter to get rid of coincident points and then use the Clean Cells to Grid filter to get rid of extra copies of the cell.<br><br></div>Cheers,<br></div>Andy<br><div><div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div class="m_-566628109693010118m_-8494945927399682918HOEnZb"><div class="m_-566628109693010118m_-8494945927399682918h5"><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 5, 2017 at 6:24 PM, Rilin Shen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:shenrilin@gmail.com" target="_blank">shenrilin@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><div class="gmail_chip gmail_drive_chip" style="width:396px;height:18px;max-height:18px;background-color:#f5f5f5;padding:5px;color:#222;font-family:arial;font-style:normal;font-weight:bold;font-size:13px;border:1px solid #ddd;line-height:1"><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1JLvkeOK5PQVXR3cTBHa2lfQjQ/view?usp=drive_web" style="display:inline-block;max-width:366px;overflow:hidden;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap;text-decoration:none;padding:1px 0;border:none" target="_blank"><img style="vertical-align:bottom;border:none" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/docs/doclist/images/icon_10_generic_list.png"> <span dir="ltr" style="color:#15c;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:bottom">Bone.7z</span></a><img style="display:none;opacity:0.55;float:right"></div>Dear Andy,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">Thanks a lot for your help. </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">As you said, It looks like a ghost cell issue.
