Detailed Description

Functions needed to work with GMSH.

GMSH is an open-source meshing tool.

Function Documentation

mesh_geo_file()

def SUAVE.Input_Output.GMSH.mesh_geo_file.mesh_geo_file

(

tag

)

This calls GMSH to create a volume mesh based on a previously created .geo file.
The volume mesh can be read by SU2.

Assumptions:
.geo file created with write_geo_file function in this folder

Source:
N/A

Inputs:
tag        <string>  This corresponds to a configuration from SUAVE

Outputs:
<tag>.su2  This is a mesh file in SU2 format

Properties Used:
N/A

read_keys()

def SUAVE.Input_Output.GMSH.write_geo_file.read_keys

(

tag

)

This reads the corresponding OpenVSP .key file to check which surfaces
exist in the .stl file for the vehicle.

Assumptions:
N/A

Source:
N/A

Inputs:
tag          <string>  This corresponds to a configuration from SUAVE

Outputs:
vehicle_nums [-] the numbers corresponding to surfaces on the vehicle
farfield_num [-] the number corresponding to the farfield, -1 if not available
symmetry_num [-] the number corresponding to the symmetry plane, -1 if not available

Properties Used:
N/A

write_geo_file()

def SUAVE.Input_Output.GMSH.write_geo_file.write_geo_file

(

tag

)

This reads an .stl file output from OpenVSP using the SUAVE interface and builds
a .geo file that can be read to GMSH to produce a volume mesh.

Assumptions:
The OpenVSP .stl has a farfield surface

Source:
N/A

Inputs:
tag        <string>  This corresponds to a configuration from SUAVE

Outputs:
<tag>.geo

Properties Used:
N/A
