Size of Mesh Cell Reference in .os File
Hello,
I am using FEKO 2017. From POSTFEKO, I am exporting the surface current and get the .os file. I then import the .os file into MATLAB to do some processing. I would like to calculate the area of the mesh cell for which the current is given for each entry in the .os file. Is this data available within one of the headings of the .os file? I have looked through the user manual but can't find anything relevant.
I've attached an example .os file at which I am looking.
Thanks,
Alex
Hello bouvy / Alex
As you have noticed, the .os file does not contain the triangle vertices and thus you can't calculate the area from the information in that file. The information is available at other places. The following list contains some options:
I hope this helps. My preference would definitely be the POSTFEKO scripting. You can even use the --run-script and --non-interactive command line options to call POSTFEKO (without a GUI) to execute a script and export all the info that you need to a file (should be very easy to integrate into Matlab / Compose in that way).
Example script to access mesh elements in POSTFEKO:
