MED documentation

Hello,

I'm looking for a documentation of the .med file-format in order to write a mesh-output-template for a preprocessor.

Re: MED documentation

Hello Jonas,

I think the *.med file is coded and you cannot open it like for example *.mail or *.nas format. Anyway, you can install Python modul 'meshio' (pip install meshio) and there is code for it.

You can create macro directly in Salome - for geometry, mesh, etc. with Python.

Re: MED documentation

med is a binary format

There is a C or fortran interface to create a med file directly or use medcoupling in python or c++ which allows to manipulate med files. Both are in salome

Re: MED documentation

Thank you for your answers. Following nicolas_ps suggestion I found the following information on several APIs to read/write MED-files.

h_ttps://docs.salome-platform.org/7/dev/MEDCoupling/index.html

Sadly I won't be able to utilize these because I can't access these APIs in Hyperworks TCL-interface. I will work with the .unv or .mail file format and convert them to .med using Code Aster.

But thank you JanBlokes for the information on meshio. I did not know about his tool and it seems to be very useful!
