mesh file specifications

Post by fbartra »

Are there any detail specifications of the mesh file?

I have been trying mesh files that I created from "GMSH", salome, etc.
they all get "distorted" or missing something when imported into elmer

there is got to be specific specs .

Please any comment will be appreciated

Thank you

Perhaps you can post some examples that can be tested. I have not seen any issues with gmsh nor salome.

Hello,

Elmer mesh documentation can be found in ElmerSolverManual.pdf in Appendix A, which includes a brief description of partitioned mesh files. Another section of documentation can be found in ElmerGUIManual.pdf, in Appendix D.

What would be nice, would be a description of how to create Elmer mesh files in both 2D and 3D. Does anyone know where such a description might be found?

Rich.
