Method Detail

getCenter

public static double[] getCenter(MiGeometryI geometry,
                                 MiCell cell)

Gets the center of the specified cell.

This static method helps to implement the method MiCell.getCenter(MiGeometryI) for a cell.
It computes the average of the coordinates of each cell's node.

Parameters:

geometry - the geometry of the mesh. It is used to retrieve the node coordinates

cell - the input cell.

Returns:

the center coordinates {x,y,z} of this cell
