<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello,<br>
There is some support for periodic meshes through SCDInterface; <br>
So for example, a structured torus mesh has 2 periodicities, and it can be loaded in parallel, and partitioning and ghosting can happen at reading time; a sphere mesh (that appears in climate data) has one periodicity;
<br>
the mesh is though structured, and moab can handle ghosts pretty well for those types of meshes.<br>
I am not sure though if it would fit your purpose; <br>
You said your mesh is unstructured? Which would be a problem for SCDInterface<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am thinking about using MOAB as the basis for a cell-centered (unstructured) finite volume solver. An important feature for me is to be able to handle periodicity (translational & rotational). As far as I understand, this is not directly possible with
MOAB but I am wondering how difficult it would be.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What I would like to do is have "periodic ghost" cells that I would handle as the standard ghost cells (except I would possibly apply a rotation to the vectors after the data is exchanged for rotational periodicity)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>How difficult do you think it would be to implement it? Do you have any example that implement similar operations?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards</div>
