are the vertices of the cell the center of the sphere

Hello,

>Is the cell of the engine formed with the center of four spheres as the vertex? If so, can I get the four spheres that formed the cell by getting the four vertices of the cell through the function flow.getVertices(cellid) ?

Yes, and yes :)

Cheers,

Robert

Dear Robert,
Thank you for your answer. Whether function flow.getVertices(cellid) returns the coordinates of four vertices, so how can I get the id of the sphere from the central coordinates? Is there a function that can do this?

Hello,

getVertices() returns directly the body ids of the constituent vertices.

Thank you Robert, this solved problem.

Hello,
I have a new problem, The code is shown below:
.periodic=True
O.cell.hSize=Matrix3(2,0,0, 0,2,0, 0,0,2)
s0=utils.sphere((0.3,0.3,0.3),radius=0.2)
s1=utils.sphere((1,0.3,0.3),radius=0.21)
s2=utils.sphere((0.3,1,0.3),radius=0.28)
s3=utils.sphere((1,1,0.3),radius=0.21)
s4=utils.sphere((0.3,0.3,1),radius=0.21)
s5=utils.sphere((1,0.3,1),radius=0.31)
s6=utils.sphere((0.3,1,1),radius=0.18)
s7=utils.sphere((1,1,1),radius=0.31)
s8=utils.sphere((0.5,0.5,0.5),radius=0.3)

O.bodies.append(s0)
O.bodies.append(s1)
O.bodies.append(s2)
O.bodies.append(s3)
O.bodies.append(s4)
O.bodies.append(s5)
O.bodies.append(s6)
O.bodies.append(s7)
O.bodies.append(s8)
flow=PeriodicFlowEngine()
flow.emulateAction()

csdList=flow.getConstrictionsFull()
a=csdList[1]
b=flow.getVertices(a[0])
c=flow.getVertices(a[1])

I found that the body ids in b and c are the same, but the order is different, they are [7, 2, 5, 2] and [5, 2, 7, 2].
Why is this happening?

That's because some particles are duplicated in order to mimick periodicity, si the two cells are not the same in memory. Why is it a problem?

Dear Chareyre, thank you for your reply. I would like to know how to determine which three bodies are on the shared facet for such two cells.

On the basis of Chareyre's answer, I would like to know how to determine which three bodies are on the shared facet for such two cells.

Dear Robert,
If I want to get the constriction size distribution, whether these same cells make an effect?

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Changing status to "solved" to avoid launchpad janitor.

Thanks Robert Caulk, that solved my question.
