Description of the bug
Raised by @mhoeijm
The question is whether it is normal for the fluent meshes_provider to not return meshes for face zones on bodies without a cell zone.
If this is expected behavior, should it then be improved?
The description in the example for this states:
If no region_scoping is connected, the MeshedRegion for all body and face zones is retrieved in a MeshesContainer
@mhoeijm feel free to add to this description of the issue.
Steps To Reproduce
Using the following script
import os
import ansys.dpf.core as dpf
FLUENT_BOX = r"box_no_cells-2.msh.h5"
os.environ["ANSYS_DPF_ACCEPT_LA"] = "Y"
ds = dpf.DataSources()
ds.set_result_file_path(FLUENT_BOX, key="cas")
streams = dpf.operators.metadata.streams_provider(data_sources=ds)
meshes = dpf.operators.mesh.meshes_provider(streams_container=streams, region_scoping=None).eval()
# get mesh info:
model = dpf.Model(data_sources=ds)
minfo: dpf.MeshInfo = model.metadata.mesh_info
print(model)with the following file:
One box has a cell zone defined and the meshes_provider correctly returns the cell zone along with associated face zones, whereas the second box is made only of face zones which are not returned by the operator.
