Convert mesh files to SYRTHES format

## NAME

convert2syrthes4 - Convert mesh files to SYRTHES format

## SYNOPSIS

**convert2syrthes4** \[-dim dimension\] -m mesh1.ext \[-o mesh2.syr\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the **convert2syrthes4** command.

**convert2syrthes4** can convert mesh files from GAMBIT, GMSH, MED, SIMAIL or IDEAS to SYRTHES format

A detailed documentation is available at \<http://rd.edf.com/syrthes\>

## OPTIONS

- \-dim dimension

  With dimension = 2 or 3. This option is requested for the GMSH file format, and ignored otherwise.

- \-m mesh1.ext

  Specify the mesh file to convert. The mesh format is inferred from the file's extension:\
   \* .neu (GAMBIT format)\
   \* .msh (GMSH format)\
   \* .med (MED format) \
   \* .des (SIMAIL format)\
   \* .unv (IDEAS universal file format)\
   Note: For MED format, convert2syrthes4 creates an additionnal ASCII file (...\_desc) where you will find the correspondances between group names (used in Salome) and family (or references) numbers used in SYRTHES

- \-o mesh2.syr

  To change the name of the output file.

## EXAMPLES

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.med**

  \--\> square.syr + square.syr\_desc

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.neu**

  \--\> square.syr

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.des**

  \--\> square.syr

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.unv**

  \--\> square.syr

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.msh -dim 2**

  \--\> square.syr

- **convert2syrthes4 -m square.med -o square2.syr**

  \--\> square2.syr + square2.syr\_desc
