Hello,


i have trouble understanding how the "lagrangian/reactingCloud1/positions" file is build up. I am trying to read the position of the parcels, to sort some of them out.


The file looks like this:


/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

location "0.500095986537923309/lagrangian/reactingCloud1";
object positions;
}

and so on.


Does somebody know how i can get the coordinates from this data? None of them seem to indicate to any coordinates.

As far as I know, the parcel coordinate is 'barycentric coordinate'.

Please see the attachment, and you will see the values in the file 'position' are corresponding to barycentric coordinates, celli, tetFacei, tetPti of the partice, respectively.
