Hi Hank,
that worked pretty well, thanks.
One strange thing happens, though, which is that when I want to
visualize contour plots on a cylinder surface, say, (where the surface
is identified by some value of a scalar variable), the geometry turns
"inside out", i.e. the outer cylinder wall, where the mesh connects to,
is colored constant blue, but the inner wall, which faces "nothing", has
the contour plotted on it. When I switch from natural/nodal to zonal, it
works but the values are all about half of what they used to be. Which
value is correct? And how can I get natural/nodal plots on the correct
side of a face?
Thanks,
Markus
