Hello,
I am facing an issue using one of the commands I took from the python API library of Coreform Cubit.
What I would like to do is to find the coordinates of the center of certain face elements. I use the command:
cubit.get_center_point(‘face’,50) , where 50 is the id of the face element whose center coordinates I am interested in. The problem is that no matter what value for the id I give, the output is always (0,0,0). At first I thought it happened because Cubit cannot find the face element with the id I was giving. Therefore, I decided to check the id of the face elements and make sure that it is correct (I double checked that in two ways: 1) checking the id of the entity through GUI and by clicking on the element and finding its id 2) using the command: cubit.cmd(‘list face 50’) --> Centroid coordinates are good and correspond to that specific entity).
Moreover, this very same command works perfectly if I replace the face with hex or surface or volume. So, I was wondering if this command works for face elements at all.
I tried to play around with the command and it looks like even if I intentionally entered the wrong command it still gives me an output (always (0,0,0) without an error. For instance I tried :
cubit.get_center_point(‘face element’,50).
I will be grateful if you provide me with the correct command to find the coordinates of the center of face elements.
Thank you in advance.
