SCell¶

This page describes the struct SCell

The SCell represents a single node of the cell grid.

Code:

SCell.h

This is the declaration of the SCell struct:

typedef struct {
    gridtype  m_iGlobalID;
    uchar     m_iNumNeighbors;
    int       m_aNeighbors[MAX_NEIGH];
} SCell;

m_iGlobalID

The cell ID (in single-processor situations the id is equal to the index in the array).

m_iNumNeighbors

Actual number of neighbors of this cell (in icosahedral grids 12 nodes have only 5 neighbors each).

m_aNeighbors

Array of indexes of each cell’s neighbors (if num neighbors is less then MAX_NEIGH, the remaining elements are set to -1).

The type gridtype is an alias for int (defined in utils/types.h). The constant MAX_NEIGH has the value 6 (in order to handle icosahedral grids).
