!MESH¶

Specifies the mesh data file.

!MESH, NAME=<name>, TYPE=<type> [,optional parameter]
fileheader

#Example of Use
!MESH, NAME=fstrMSH, TYPE=HECMW-DIST, REFINE=1
Mesh.in

Parameter
`NAME`	Identifier (mandatory)
`TYPE`	Mesh type (mandatory)
`IO`	Input/output specification (omissible)
`REFINE`	Mesh subdivision specification (arbitrary)

Parameter Name	Parameter Value	Contents
`NAME`	`fstrMSH`	Solver input data
	`part_in`	Partitioner input data
	`part_out`	Partitioner output data
`TYPE`	`HECMW-DIST`	HEC-MW distribution mesh data
	`HECMW-ENTIRE`	HEC-MW single domain mesh data
	`INP`	inp format mesh data (`.inp`)
	`NASTRAN`	Nastran format mesh data
`IO`	`IN`	For input (default)
	`OUT`	For output
`REFINE`	<integer>	Number of mesh subdivisions

Parameter Name	Contents
fileheader	Header of the mesh data file name (both the relative path and the absolute path can be specified. When the relative path is specified, it becomes the path from the current directory.)

Note:

The existence of IO parameters, or parameter values will have no affect on others. When the TYPE is HECMW-DIST, the end of the file name ".<rank>" is excluded for the file header specified in the data line.

When the TYPE is INP, an inp format input file (.inp) is read directly. Supported keywords include *NODE, *ELEMENT, *NSET, *ELSET, *MATERIAL, *ELASTIC, *DENSITY, *SOLID SECTION, etc. If !MATERIAL is defined in the analysis control data (.cnt), it overrides the material definitions in the mesh file.

When the TYPE is NASTRAN, a Nastran format bulk data file is read directly.
