Hi,
I think it has been asked before but I didn't find the answer I need.
I was able to create a pde model with cell numbers corresponding to the right geometry by luck. See below

The model was imported from a stl file (attached) with the code below.
% Import the geometry
thermalmodel = createpde('thermal','steadystate');
importGeometry(thermalmodel,'PCBA_Dummy_PRT_2.stl');
pdegplot(thermalmodel, 'FaceAlpha',0.5)
% Mesh the Geometry and Determine the Part size
generateMesh(thermalmodel,'Hmax',.09);
thermalmodel.Mesh
% Show cell
pdegplot(thermalmodel,'FaceAlpha',0.25,'CellLabel','on')
title('Geometry with Cell Labels')
% Show face
pdegplot(thermalmodel,'FaceAlpha',0.25,'CellLabel','on')
title('Geometry with Cell Labels')
But is there a way I can identify the cell number without having it show in a plot. For example, I want to identify C1 as -0.4<Z<-0.2 and C2 as -0.2<Z<0. 
Thanks,
Derek
