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 <code>.cnn</code> and </code>.crd</code> files for use with </code>.crd</code>.

== Basic Usage ==
Convert takes in a <code>.xmt_txt</code>, <code>.xmt_txt</code>, and a <code>.xmt_txt</code> file and outputs <code>.cnn</code>, </code>.crd</code> files, and a <code./mdsMesh</code> directory. A specific implementation will look like:

<code> 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/</code>

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).

== Model Convert ==
Convert takes in a <code>.xmt_txt</code> file and outputs a <code>.dmg</code> 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 when generating a mesh with.

 For all of the options below, also note that you should always use a version of convert built for the specific version of Simmodeler used to generate the mesh. This is most easily achieved by using up-to-date versions.

 Note that Convert can intake multiple model regions if that is required for a geometry. This is available in the main bran and simply takes in more than one model root face arguments in a separate file. This file should have all of the root faces in a new-line delimited format, and the call to convert changes to:
