[MOAB-dev] MOAB insights?

[Grindeanu, Iulian R.]

Hi Nico,
Sorry I missed your message
I modified one of the examples to construct all edges and faces, and output them in some files

after compiling it, you can launch it with

./HelloMOAB

or
./HelloMOAB <other_file>

other_file can be any file that can be loaded in MOAB, in serial (for example, a gmsh file)

for parallel IO, you can look at HelloParMOAB example, or tests in test/parallel


There is a list of examples on doxygen page, with more links on how is data accessed.

Absolutely!

I'm interested to see
 * how I/O works,
 * how edges/faces arecreated,
 * how relationships are queried (Which cells does this face border on? Which nodes does this cell have? etc)

If there's an example in the sources, I'd be more than happy to look at that, too, of course.

Cheers,
Nico

For me, long means (much) longer than the actual (linear) solver in the end. On a test cube [1] of 140k tets and 27k nodes, creating edges takes about one minutes, faces about two (on one core that is). The linear solver in the end takes about seven seconds.

hmmm, that is too long, indeed.

For moab, creating the edges and/or faces for that size of a mesh is on the order  of seconds, on a laptop

I will write a small example if you are interested
