[Dune] Boundary IDs of the faces of a cube within the DGF file

[Sacconi, Andrea]

Hi Andreas, hi all,

yes, I had a look at the documentation, and since I didn't find what I was looking for I posted my question.

Let's have a look at the example you pointed: examplegrid6.dgf
The grid is a cube, with dimension 10, precisely from the origin (0, 0, 0) to (10, 10, 10).
The comment says that you want the bottom boundary to have ID 2, and 1 for all the others.
The bottom boundary is a square with South-West corner (0, 0, 0) and North-East corner (10, 10, 0).

Why do you use the interval from (-1, -1, -1) to (11, 11, 0) ?? Why -1 and 11?
Does this command work exactly as the block "Interval" used to generate the grid? I.e., we generate a cuboid, not a segment with extremes (A, B, C) and (D, E, F). If so, we would have a cuboid, with dimensions 12, 12, 1.
Would it be the same if I used an interval from (0, 0, 0) to (10, 10, 0)?

Hope that now my questions are more clear.
Thanks again for your help!

Andrea

Hi Andrea.
Have you had a look at the documentation (e.g. examplegrid6.dgf)
http://www.dune-project.org/doc/doxygen/dune-grid-html/group___dune_grid_format_parser.html
If you find that unclear then please describe in more detail what is unclear to you
so I can adjust the examples and the documentation.
Best
Andreas

Hi all,

thanks Andreas for your answer.
I had a look at the boundarydomain, and the documentation says: "Each line consists of an integer greater than zero and two vectors describing an interval in dimworld space."
So, and I am not sure if it is directly possible; if you have a 3D cuboid tessellated with tetrahedra, and you want all the triangles lying on one of the faces of the cuboid to be identified by the same boundary ID, how do you do that, without enumerating all the boundary faces of the elements involved?

Thanks again!
Andrea

Hi.
You can use the interval block to define your domain (like in 2d) but that has nothing to do with the
boundary ids. Have a look at the boundarydomain block which should do exactly what you need
(it also uses an "interval" to define a region with the same boundary id).

Hi everybody,

I would like to ask you a question about how to prescribe boundary IDs within a DGF file.
I just had a closer look at the DGF format, but I couldn't find how to do what I need.

Let's say that the domain for your computations is a cube (or a rectangular cuboid, it doesn't matter), and you want to impose different boundary conditions on the six faces.
In order to do that, I would introduce different boundary IDs to be read in the code, to guarantee that the faces are treated accordingly.

If you want to assign the same ID to all the faces of elements lying on a certain big face of the cube, is it possible to do it directly, without enumerating all those faces?
I mean, in 2D there is the excellent command "Interval".
What happens if I use the keyword "Interval" (in 3D), passing the four segments forming the perimeter of the (big) face?

Thanks in advance!

Andrea
