The cloud set samples field values at list of point locations.

Usage🔗

Basic operation of the cloud set comprises:

sets1
{
    type            sets;
    libs            (sampling);

    mySet1
    {
        type            cloud;
        axis            <axis>;
        points          (<points>);
    }
}

Points to be sampled are listed by the points entry, e.g. to sample the locations (0 0 0), (1, 0, 0) and (2, 0, 0):

sets1
{
    type            sets;
    libs            (sampling);

    mySet1
    {
        type            cloud;
        axis            xyz; // write x, y, z co-ordinates
        points
        (
            (0 0 0)
            (1 0 0)
            (2 0 0)
        );
    }
}
