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.
Command Line Arguments
Generic options:
File specifications:
Mode specifications (default is mesh adaptation):
Parameters:
- -A
Enable anisotropy (without metric file).
- -ar ⟨x⟩ | -nr
Threshold for angle detection or sharp features detection disabling.
- -hmin ⟨x⟩
Minimal mesh size.
- -hmax ⟨x⟩
Maximal mesh size.
- -hsiz ⟨x⟩
Constant mesh size.
- -hausd ⟨x⟩
Control the Hausdorff distance to the underlying surface geometry.
- -hgrad ⟨x⟩
Control the gradation.
- -hgradreq ⟨x⟩
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
No point insertion/deletion.
- -nomove
No point relocation
- -noswap
No edge or face flipping.
- -nosizreq
No imposition of the size of required edges over required vertices.
- -nreg
Normal regularization using laplacian - antilaplacian smoothing.
- -xreg
Vertex coordinates regularization using laplacian - antilaplacian smoothing.
- -nsd ⟨n⟩
Save the subdomain of index n (default is n=0 which save all subdomains).
- -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).
Return Values
mmgs returns:
the 0 value if successful;
the 1 value if the process fail but we can save a conform mesh;
the 2 value if the process fail and we can't save a conform mesh.
