[SOLVED] "No Nodes in MED mesh" (gmsh post-processor)

bashseb · 2012-03-28 10:49:01

Bonjour,
I currently need to output the .pos files of code_aster, because gmsh failes to read the .rmed files. This could be a problem of gmsh, but maybe I set something wrong in my IMPR_RESU section. I'm using gmsh 2.5.0, code aster 10.6.

This is the gmsh error:

Info    : Reading 'hex-two-cubes-load-temp-steps.rmed'...
Info    : Reading MED file V3.0.4 using MED library V2.3.6
Info    : Reading 3-D unstructured mesh <<MAIL>>
Error   : No nodes in MED mesh
Error   : Error loading 'hex-two-cubes-load-temp-steps.rmed'
Info    : Done reading 'hex-two-cubes-load-temp-steps.rmed'
Info    : Writing 'hex-two-cubes-load-temp-steps.txt'...

This is a simple example of two cubes attached to each other and meshed with a hexahedra mesh. They are heated to 100 deg and 16 alternating load steps are applied (pressure on one face).

I attached the comm file, nevertheless this is the IMPR_RESU section

IMPR_RESU(MODELE=MODE,
          FORMAT='MED',
          UNITE=80,
          RESU=(_F(RESULTAT=RESU,
                   NOM_CHAM='DEPL',
                   ),
                ));

Any help is greatly appreciated, merci!
Sebastian

hello

if you install the latest version of Gmsh 2.5.1
you should be able to read med 3 file without any problem

sorry jean pierre,

This doesn't solve the problem. I'm getting the same error as before

I can open med files written by gmsh, but I cannot even open mmed or rmed files comming directly out of salome-meca (using the linear elastic default study).

That's why Gmsh 2.5 doesn't work
The reference to Gmsh 2.5.1 is a reference to the development version of Gmsh, downloadable by clicking on the Gmsh-nightly-build link

Thanks for your reply. I tried with gmsh 2.5.1 (see last post), but it failed with the same error. I'm using svn version and compiled gmsh.

Your compiled version is not OK (it uses MED-2.3.6 hence the problem). You should download a nightly or build against MED-3.0.4 (latest version available in the Code_Aster source package or on the Salomé website).

the practical version of Gmsh is the nightly build already compiled version
this line
automated nightly builds: Windows (build log), Linux (build log), Mac OS X (build log)
on here
http://geuz.org/gmsh/
you just unpack the archive somewhere and it works out of the box

compliling it from source implies what you really know what you are doing
and it looks like you have already enough troubles without adding the one of compiling Gmsh from source

bashseb · 2012-03-28 16:29:17

great - that fixed it. Merci bien!!!

For others:

To run the gmsh nightly build on x86_64 bit environment, just do the following:

1. upack nightly build
2. check for missing shared libraries "not found"

 ldd bin/gmsh

3. install lib32 packages of your distro corresponding to the missing libs. e.g. in archlinux:

sudo pacman -S lib32-libxinerama lib32-mesa lib32-nvidia-utils lib32-libxext lib32-glibc ....

4. run gmsh

Note that the last version of gmsh as found in Ubuntu Precise Pangolin (12.04) and later or Debian testing/sid is compiled against MED 3.0.3, so no need for a nightly build anymore.
