Convert, often referred to simply as "Convert", is a tool used to convert Geometric model files into a file type usable with the preprocessing tools utilized in this group.
Basic Overview
The main goal of Convert is to take a Symmetrix model and mesh and convert it to .cnn and </code>.crd</code> files for use with </code>.crd</code>.
Basic Usage
Convert takes in a .xmt_txt, .xmt_txt, and a .smd file and outputs .cnn, .crd files, and a ./mdsMesh directory. A specific implementation will look like:
mpirun -np 1 /projects/tools/SCOREC-core/build16_Opt/test/convert --model-face-root=4321 --native_model=geom.xmt_txt geom.smd geom.sms mdsMesh/
Where the root face is the face which holds the original meshing attributes in simmodeler (extrusion meshing from within simmodeler would originate from this face).
Note that there is a second version of convert which can intake multiple model regions if that is required for a geometry. This is available at /projects/tools/SCOREC-core/build16_Opt/test/convert and simply takes in more than one (space delimited) model root face arguments.
Model Convert
Convert takes in a .xmt_txt file and outputs a .dmg file. This file type simply stores information about model faces, edges, and vertices, and their relationships to each other. This is needed to classify mesh points.
