Cell Size

In FidesysViewer you can create a filter Cell Size from Menu - Filters - Alphabetical. After creation, you can set the necessary parameters using the panel Properties.

Figure Properties panel displaying filter properties Cell Size

 

This filter computes sizes for 0D (1 for vertex and number of points in for polyvertex), 1D (length), 2D (area)and 3D (volume) cells. ComputePoint, ComputeLength, ComputeArea and ComputeVolume options can be used to specify what dimension cells to compute for. Alternatively, the ComputeHighestDimension will compute sizes for only the highest dimension cells for the vtkDataSet. The values are placed in a cell data array named ArrayName. The SumSize option will give a summation of the computed cell sizes for a vtkDataSet and for composite datasets will contain a sum of the underlying blocks.

The ComputeSum option will give a summation of the computed cell sizes for a vtkDataSet and for composite datasets will contain a sum of the underlying blocks in the top-level block.
