Mesh Example

Mesh Example: Stack Mesh with facesets from Boundary lines

Workflow development for Tinerator
Create input files including a triangulated surface and its boundary polygon.
Stack surfaces into a prism mesh.
Use this input stacked mesh and boundary to write an Exodus mesh based on boundary line attributes.

Workflow for Input Files

Input Data:
Create surfaces and extract boundary line. Stack into prism mesh.

1) Create triangulated surface and extract boundary line.

  lagrit < mk_surf_wave.lgi
  cp outx3dgen mk_surf_wave.out.txt

   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 9.7K Nov  6 08:26 bndry_line.gmv
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  32K Nov  6 08:26 bndry_line.inp
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  19K Nov  6 08:26 surf_wave.gmv
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  54K Nov  6 08:26 surf_wave.inp

2) Create surfaces and stack into 3D prism mesh.
   Note the .lagrit file will maintain the CMO name and all attributes.

   lagrit < stack.lgi
   cp outx3dgen stack.out.txt

   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 189K Nov  6 08:30 stack.gmv
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 241K Nov  6 08:30 stack.inp
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 283K Nov  6 08:30 stack.lagrit

3) Add attributes and values to the boundary lines.

   lagrit < color_bndry_lines.lgi
   cp outx3dgen color_bndry_lines.out.txt

   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  11K Nov  6 08:38 bndry_line_colors.gmv
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  33K Nov  6 08:38 bndry_line_colors.inp

Write Exodus Files

A) Write Exodus Mesh with 3 facesets; top, bottom, and sides.

   lagrit < write_exodus_fs3.lgi
   cp outx3dgen write_exodus_fs3.out.txt

   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  66K Nov  6 08:49 mesh_fs3.exo
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 194K Nov  6 08:49 mesh_exo.gmv

B) Write Exodus Mesh with 8 facesets defined by boundary line attributes.
   Both Paraview and GMV can display faceset surfaces.

   lagrit < write_exodus.lgi
   cp outx3dgen write_exodus.out.txt

   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft  69K Nov  6 10:04 mesh_fs8.exo
   -rw-r--r-- 1 tamiller sft 199K Nov  6 10:04 mesh_exo.gmv
