Hello DX'ers,
I've got a 3-d field of elements having irregular positions, although
only the z-dimension positions are actually irregular - the x and y
positions are regularly-spaced. It's essentially a finite-element mesh.
I'm trying to "remove" elements, not based on their value (which can
be accomplished using the Include module), but rather based on their x
and y positions. For example, let's say that the domain ranges from x=0
to x=10, y=0 and y=20, and z=0 to z=5. What I'd like to do is remove
all elements from x=0 to x= 5 so that I can see what is happening inside
the volume. Note that the elements are visualized as solids using
ShowBoundary and FaceNormals. I've tried ClipPlane, but the elements on
the clipping plane are not rendered as opaque so they do not appear.
Slab won't work either, because the connections are irregular. In
addition, my attempts at using ClipVolumeMacro have not been at all
successful.
This seems like it should be pretty straight forward, but I'm obvioulsy
missing some critical aspect.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
