chi_mesh.SplitFileMeshGenerator

Generates the mesh only on location 0, thereafter partitions the mesh but instead of broadcasting the mesh to other locations it creates binary mesh files for each location.

Example usage:

Create this object:

params = 
{
    param_name1 = value1,
    param_name2 = value2,
    --etc.
}
chi_mesh.SplitFileMeshGenerator.Create(params)

Optional Input parameters

►inputs       A list of handles to MeshGenerator objects

type=ARRAY. A list of handles to MeshGenerator objects

Default value:

►num_partitions       The number of partitions to generate

type=INTEGER. The number of partitions to generate. If zero will default to the number of MPI processes. Is ignored if the number of MPI processes > 1.

Default value: 0

►partitioner       Handle to a GraphPartitioner object to use for parallel partitioning

type=INTEGER. Handle to a GraphPartitioner object to use for parallel partitioning.This will default to PETScGraphPartitioner with a "parmetis" setting

Default value: 0

►read_only       Controls whether the split mesh is recreated or just read

type=BOOLEAN. Controls whether the split mesh is recreated or just read.

Default value: false

►replicated_mesh       Flag, when set, makes the mesh appear in full fidelity on each process

type=BOOLEAN. Flag, when set, makes the mesh appear in full fidelity on each process

Default value: false

►scale       Uniform scale to apply to the mesh after reading

type=FLOAT. Uniform scale to apply to the mesh after reading.

Default value: 1(double)

►split_file_prefix       Prefix to use for all split mesh files

type=STRING. Prefix to use for all split mesh files

Default value: "split_mesh"

►split_mesh_dir_path       Path of the directory to be created for containing the split meshes

type=STRING. Path of the directory to be created for containing the split meshes.

Default value: "SplitMesh"

►verbosity_level       Verbosity level

type=INTEGER. Verbosity level. 1 will report each 10% complete. 2 will print each part and the number of local cells it wrote.

Default value: 1
