<HTML><BODY><br>I am new in MOAB and don't have enough experience in your program product. And I'm sorry for my maybe silly questions.<br><br>Could you please help me with the following situation. The main idea is using solution coupling in my research. I found workable example in MOAB package: {$MOAB_dir}/tools/mbcoupler/mbcoupler_test.cpp. So at the first, I decided just to change meshes in this example. And I tryed to understand how to use meshes in parallel mode.<br><br>1) I had the geometry of both new meshes in vtk format: geom1.vtk, geom2.vtk. Using MBConverter I converted them into vtk format, supporting by MOAB<br><span style="font-family: 'courier new', courier;">./mbconvert -f vtk geom1.vtk geom1_c.vtk</span><br>2)Using MBZoltan I converted new vtk files into h5m format, dividing in 4 parts<br><span style="font-size: 12px;"><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">./</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">mbpart</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';"> 4 -</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">T </span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">geom</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">1_c.</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">vtk </span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">geom</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">1_</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">p</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">.</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">h</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">5</span><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US" data-mce-style="line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';">m<br></span></span>3) I read geom1_p.h5m with Tecplot and checked PARALLEL_PARTITION tag existance (according MOAB_UG.doc). There are values: 0,1,2,3, that is correct. So I tryed to use 2 variants of reading parameters:<br><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US">«PARALLEL=READ_PART; PARTITION=PARALLEL_PARTITION; PARTITION_DISTRIBUTE;CPUTIME»</span><br>and<br><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Courier New';" lang="EN-US">«PARALLEL=READ_PART; PARTITION=PARALLEL_PARTITION; PARTITION_VAL=0,1,2,3;CPUTIME»</span><br>4) Then I used these meshes with mbcoupler_test <br><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: 'courier new', courier;">mpirun -as intel -np 2 -q test ./mbcoupler_test -meshes geom1_p.h5m geom2_p.h5m -itag vertex_field -outfile test.h5m</span><br>But these meshes weren't read with program.
