Gets information about the contours between different domains in an unstructured (finite-element) dataset. The dataset must contain the "ID" attribute (a unique identified for each domain in the finite-element mesh generated in Finite Element IDE based products).

|---|---|
|
A = getmeshcontours(dataset); |
Returns information about the contours between different domains of the unstructured dataset named "dataset". The output is provided as a cell array. Each entry is a struct with three fields: ID: An integer ID that is unique for that contour. adjacent: Two integers representing the IDs of the adjacent domains. elements: For 2D, Nx2 array and for 3D, Nx3 array of integers that are the indexes to the vertices for each face on the boundary. |
Examples
The script commands below will get the contour information for the "grid" dataset (available after calculating the finite-element mesh).
mesh("CHARGE"); # calculate the mesh in Finite Element IDE using the CHARGE solver
grid = getresult("CHARGE","grid"); # get the mesh information ("grid" dataset)
contours = getmeshcontours(grid);
# get the ID of the first contour
ID_1 = contours{1}.ID;
# get the ID of the two adjacent domains (ID = 0 means external boundary)
domains_1 = contours{1}.adjacent;
# get the index of vertices forming the first contour
vertices_1 = contours{1}.elements;
