Description

The mmgs application is dedicated to surface triangulation remeshing.

By default it performs mesh modifications in order to control the surface approximation.
Providing a metric file, it adapts the mesh to the prescribed sizes at nodes.
-optim option allows to improve the mesh quality with respect to initial mesh size and the surface approximation respect.
Providing a level-set file containing the values of the level-set function at the mesh nodes, the -ls option allows to explicitely mesh an implicit domain and the -lssurf option splits boundary edges of the mesh on a provided isovalue.

    Control the gradation from required entities toward others.

    -rmc x

    Remove componants whose volumic fraction is less than x (1.e-5 if x is not provided) of the whole mesh volume or not connected to base references provided in parameter file (level-set mode).

    -keep-ref

    Preserve initial domain references when create the mesh of isovalue.

    -noinsert

    -optim

    Mesh improvement with respect to the initial mesh size.

    -rn ⟨n⟩

    Turn on ( n=1 ) or off ( n=0 ) the renumbering using the SCOTCH library (only available with the USE_SCOTCH compilation flag and if the scotch library is founded).
