Interface MeXSurfaceCell

  • All Superinterfaces:
    MiCell, MiSurfaceCell

    public interface MeXSurfaceCell
    extends MiSurfaceCell
    Defines a cell of an extracted surface mesh.

    A surface cell is a polygon element that connects adjacent nodes of a surface mesh.

    • Method Detail

      • getArea

        double getArea​(MiGeometryI meshGeometry)
        Gets the area of the cell.

        This method is not used by extraction classes.

        Parameters:
        meshGeometry - the geometry of the mesh used to retrieve the node coordinates of this cell
        Returns:
        the area of this cell
      • getNormal

        SbVec3d getNormal​(MiGeometryI meshGeometry)
        Gets the unit normal vector to the surface's plane.

        This method is not used by extraction classes.

        Parameters:
        meshGeometry - the geometry of the mesh used to retrieve the node coordinates of this cell
        Returns:
        the unit normal vector {x,y,z} to the surface's plane
