Dear developers, I created a 2d and a 3d pipe in Gmsh with 3200 quad cells and 1325400 hex cells respectively. I imported them to pyfrm, ran them in 1st order ac-ns solver and exported to vtu without divisors.
I opened them in ParaView. There seemed that the number of points is 4 times of number of cells in 2d mesh and 8 in 3d mesh ( shown below ). I think No. of Points should be close to No. of Cells since most of points would be shared by adjacent cells. Additionally, there seemed to be no regular connection between No. of Points and Cells when different order of divisors were used. However, when I switched from "Surface with edges" to "Points", ParaView showed no difference between number of cells and points in visualisation. Hence, to ensure that, I used csvread to import the csv file generated by ParaView into MATLAB and found that each coordinate location had 4 points in 2d mesh, which means that there are 4 coincident points on one same coordinate. Although it is quite different for unstructured FEM mesh, WHY is there 4 coincident points on one same coordinate? So is it able to reduce the number of points to be close to No. Cells since that would significantly reduce the storage resource (without export divisor).
