Hello everyone,
I was trying to export a Netgen-generated mesh for a 3D-periodic domain in Abaqus format.
For now, since I have generated a `.geo` file (ASCII format), I simply use the GUI to generate and then export the corresponding mesh to the required `.inp` format.
Netgen then (automatically) writes the corresponding multi-point-constraint (`.mpc`) file to the same directory. Is there a way to access this information (i.e. the set of constraints written to the `.mpc` file?) through the Python interface ?
The `.mpc` file basically gives the list of linear constraints relating dofs on opposite facets of a periodic domain. Is there a way to access this functionality through the Python interface ?
Given a `.geo` file, can I simply import it in Python like the following
Code:
geo = CSGeometry('<filename>.geo')
and then an exportAbaqus function (?) to write the corresponding `.inp` format which generates the `.mpc` file?
For 2D meshes I was manually identifying the opposite facet nodes and writing the linear constraints, something like this:
This becomes inefficient for larger meshes in 3D.
