View source for Prepping the Grid for Chef

Create a new folder called <code>PrepAndRun</code> in the OnRamp folder, and enter said folder. Create a new folder inside PrepAndRun called <code>simMeshToMdsMesh</code>, and enter that folder as well. Copy the file <code>simMeshToMdsMesh.sh</code> into this folder from the <code>/projects/tutorials/OnRamp</code> folder. Create soft links to your boundary conditions, mesh, and geometry by executing the following commands:

 ln -s ../../<model name>.smd geom.smd
 ln -s ../../<mesh name>.sms geom.sms
 ln -s ../../<geometry name>.xmt_txt geom.xmt_txt

<model name> and <mesh name> should be replaced with the names of the most up to date versions you saved out of Simmodeler in the [https://fluid.colorado.edu/wiki/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Simmodeler previous steps]. All three files being soft linked must be called "geom" in this folder since that is what the convert script expects. Now, run the convert script with the following command:

 ./simMeshToMdsMesh.sh

If done properly, you will output a subdirectory called <code>mdsMesh_bz2/</code>. In this directory, there should be a file called <code>0.smb</code>, which is what Chef will use in the next step. If you are ready to get started using Chef, head over to [[Level 1 Partition]].
