General Module Function

Material_to_cellsets is intended to receive a 3D field into its input port which has been processed through a module like plume_volume. If the original field (pre-plume_volume) had multiple cell sets related to geologic units or materials the output of plume_volume will generally have only two cell sets which comprise all hexahedron and all tetrahedron cells. The ability to control the visibility of the layer-cell sets is normally lost.

This module takes plume_volume's output and recreates the cell sets based on nodal data. However, since each geologic layer will likely have two cell sets each (one for all hexahedron and all tetrahedron cells), the output tends to have twice as many cell sets as the original pre-plume_volume field).

Module Input Ports

material_to_cellsets has one input ports. Material_to_cellsets receives a 3D field into its input port which has been processed through a module like plume_volume.

Module Output Ports

material_to_cellsets has one output port which outputs a field with recreated cell sets based on nodal data. Normally the Geo_Layer data component is used.

Module Control Panel

The user interface for material_to_cellsets is shown above. Clicking the Run button causes it to recreate the output field. This should be done AFTER selecting the appropriate data component for establishing cell set relationships.
