Create a new folder called PrepAndRun in the OnRamp folder, and enter said folder. Create a new folder inside PrepAndRun called simMeshToMdsMesh, and enter that folder as well. Copy the file simMeshToMdsMesh.sh into this folder from the /projects/tutorials/OnRamp 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 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 mdsMesh_bz2/. In this directory, there should be a file called 0.smb, 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.
