Hi All</blockquote>
<br class="">
Hello Paul <br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0" class="">
I'm thinking in interfacing a FEA code to Gmsh for post-processing<br class="">
results ; for that topic the documentation is speaking about an old<br class="">
file format (legacy).<br class="">
<br class="">
Where can I find the right format?</blockquote>
<br class="">
There are two formats. One (the legacy one) is self contained and is<br class="">
made of objects (triangles, tets, hexes) with datas. <br class="">
There is no connectivity : every object is treated independently. See<br class="">
<a href="http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#POS-ASCII-file-format" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#POS-ASCII-file-format</a>.
<br class="">
<br class="">
The second format is more standard. You have to have a mesh (i.e. a<br class="">
connectivity) and FE results can be saved as data’s for <br class="">
that mesh. The doc is in<br class="">
<a href="http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#MSH-ASCII-file-format" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer" class="">http://gmsh.info/doc/texinfo/gmsh.html#MSH-ASCII-file-format</a>, see<br class="">
sections $NodeData, $ElementData <br class="">
and $ElementNodeData. <br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0" class="">
Is all the element supported (from shell to volumic elements - 1rst<br class="">
to 2nd order ones)?</blockquote>
<br class="">
Yes. High order elements are supported, in both formats. <br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0" class="">
Is there a limitation in terms of max number of elements?</blockquote>
<br class="">
No :-) The only limitation is the RAM of your computer. Note that the<br class="">
second format with $NodeData is clearly cheaper <br class="">
in term of memory. <br class="">
<br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" style="padding: 0 0.4em; border-left: #1010ff 2px solid; margin: 0" class="">
Thanks for any feedback<br class="">
<br class="">
Regards<br class="">
<br class="">
