Fiddling with an ANSYS mesh
Hi there!
There is a bug in the ANSYS bit that generates an output file for CSMP. It is probably triggered when you use a 3D mesh that has no boundary flags, i.e. no TOP, LEFT, etc (at least that is how I triggered it). If you read in such a mesh, you might end up having the following CSMP error:
MeshManager::ParseBoundary Error: Boundary flag from vset could not be identified.
Flag: -30The workaround that I've found is opening the mesh .dat file in a hex-editor and replacing all the -30 values in it (E2 FF FF FF in hexadecimal representation) with zeros.
