NSPre

There are currently many versions of NSpre out there.

The oldest version of NSpre which should work with any meshes created with Simmetrix versions prior to 7.2-120626, uses geom.spj file (old attribute file format, created with simappssdk). This vesion can also use version_2 meshes. You need to have geom.xmt_txt, geom.spj, geom.sms files in the directory where you run this. To use this NSpre (if you still have geom.spj files), use

/users/kjansen/NSpre-Parasolid_Serial-mpich1-O

If you have crated your mesh with a version later than 7.2 libraries, most probably above version is going to fail. Also, if you have used SimModeler to create your attribute file (*.smd), above version is not going to work. There is another executable for this. You need to have geom.xmt_txt, geom.smd, geom.sms files in the directory where you run it. The path is:

/users/chitak/Executables/NSpre-Parasolid_Serial-openmpi-O

This version requires a geom.smd file as the attribute file, so if you still have a geom.spj file, you can convert it to smd format (check SimModeler)

If by very remote chance, you are experimenting and you have created your mesh with some 8.0 version libraries, chances are even above executable is going to crash. If that is the case, try out

/users/chitak/develop/phasta/phNSpre/phNSpre/bin/x86_64_linux-icc/NSpre-Parasolid_Serial-openmpi-O

There are counterparts for these executables which use discrete model (*-Discrete_*). You can use the same parallel NSpre executable from

/users/kjansen/NSpre_Parallel-mpich1-O
