- Method Detail
  - getCenter
```
public static double[] getCenter(MiGeometryI geometry,
                                 MiCell cell)
```
    Gets the center of the specified cell.
    This static method helps to implement the method MiCell.getCenter(MiGeometryI) for a cell.
    It computes the average of the coordinates of each cell's node.
    
    Parameters:
    
    geometry - the geometry of the mesh. It is used to retrieve the node coordinates
    
    cell - the input cell.
    
    Returns:
    
    the center coordinates {x,y,z} of this cell
