The Node_Data of a mesh is independent from cellsets. If a cellset is not selected its Node_Data is still visible and obscures the view to the data of interest, when the output is used for glyphing (see Figure 1). This module removes the Node_Data values for unselected cellsets (see Figure 2). </p> <center> <table class="parameters"> <tr> <td> <img src="source/filters/fnc/BridgeNoFNCsmall.png" alt="Bridge Dataset without FilterNodeConnect"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Figure 1: Bridge Dataset without FilterNodeConnect </td> </tr> </table> </center> <br> <center> <table class="parameters"> <tr> <td> <img src="source/filters/fnc/BridgeFNCsmall.png" alt="Bridge Dataset using FilterNodeConnect"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Figure 2: Bridge Dataset using FilterNodeConnect </td> </tr> </table> </center> <h3>Parameters</h3> <p> <h4>Inputs</h4> <p><b><i>in</i></b></p> <p>Field that contains the Mesh, Cell_Data and Node_Data.</p> <p><b><i>active</i></b></p> <p>Integer value, that enables the the module.</p> <h4>Outputs</h4> <p><b><i>out</i></b></p> <p>Field output of the filtered data. </p> <p><b><i>obj</i></b></p> <p>Directly renderable object that can be used with the UViewer3D. </p> <h3>Example</h3> <p> The example application shows a cuboid consisting two cubic cells.
