Surf2MIXD Converter

Surf2MIXD converts Surface mesh format files to MIXD format, e.g. for visualization with Pager.

Documentation

This is it, and you can also look at the source code in the CVS module surf2mixd.

Data Requirements

Surf2MIXD will need the ASCII Surface mesh format file. It places the info, connectivity and coordinates into MIXD format minf, mien and mxyz files. No RNG file is generated.

There is also a UCD variant, compiled with make ucd and stored as surf2mixd.ucd, which converts UCD surface mesh format (one of the domain formats exported by Gridgen).

System Requirements

Surf2MIXD has been compiled on Mac OS 10.x, Linux 2.x and IRIX 6.x.

Usage

Surf2MIXD is invoked at CATS this way:

/usr/local/bin/surf2mixd [-g] [-i] <surface file>

The command line options are described below, and the <surface file> is the file to be converted.

Options

Surf2MIXD accepts the following command line options:

Option	Description	Default
-g	enable debugging output
-i	invert the orientation of surface elements
