Interface MiCellFilter
- All Known Subinterfaces:
MiCellFilterI
,MiCellFilterIj
,MiCellFilterIjk
This interface is used for filtering cells.
Filtering cells is a way to specify which cells are used and which cells are
ignored during the mesh extraction.
Each class implementing MiCellFilter
must implement an
acceptCell
method with either 1, 2 or 3 indices as arguments.
When the acceptCell
method returns false
, the cell identified
by these indices is not taken into account by the extraction. It is as if the
mesh does not contain this cell.
In order to define a custom cell filter, create a class derived from one of the following classes.

getTimeStamp
long getTimeStamp()Returns for this filter a unique time stamp across all filters in the application.When the content of the filter changes, the time stamp must increase. The time stamp allows extractors to identify this filter and to be aware about any changes to it.
Note:MxTimeStamp
can be used to generate a valid time stamp.- Returns:
- time stamp value
