DOLFIN

Tagged surfaces in input mesh

Asked by Jack

Hi

If I have an input mesh in, say, Abaqus .inp format with one or more tagged surfaces or even grouped nodes, does dolfin-convert recognise these. If it does, how do I refer to these surfaces in actual code?

Many thanks

Jack

Disclaimer: I have no experience with meshconverter :P

That said:
Have you tried using the dolfin-convert on your .inp file, and what did you
get? Are there any meshfunctions either as a separate files or embeded in the
generated mesh file? You should be able to grep on "mesh_data" in the
generated mesh file to look for this.

If not then the information is probably discarded. You can also take a look at
the _abaqus function in:

  src/site-packages/dolfin/mesh/meshconverter.py

to see if you can demangle what happens.

Sorry for the lame answer...
