I'm looking for a way to extract boundary regions from solid
unstructured meshes (tetrahedra). The purpose of this is simple: use
ParaView to set boundary conditions for a CFD code. In PV 2.6.2 I'm able
to extract plane aligned regions using the following pipeline: (as an
example, let's consider I'm extracting those boundary nodes lying on the
maximum X coordinate:)
Unstructured mesh (tetrahedra) --> Extract surface --> Calculator (get
coords_0 scalar per point values) --> Threshould (Scalars = Result of
the calculator filter, Lower and Upper set to the maximum value).
Ok, it works just fine. My problem is regarding non aligned boundaries.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to do
http://www.nacad.ufrj.br/~rnelias/paraview/regions.jpg . In this
example, I can extract the plane boundary regions but I can't extract
the cylinder at the middle of the domain. Any idea?
Regards
Renato.
