[Nek5000-users] Midside Node Support for Nek5000

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

Hi Phil,

Yes - nek5000 supports midside nodes (20-noded bricks).

The nodes are entered as curve side info with the "m" character discriminator.

I don't see any examples illustrating usage, but it is similar to the "C" curved
side, save that you place "m" instead of C, and that there can be 12 edges.
The first 3 reals in the indicator are the x,y,z coords of the midside.

Paul

Subject: [Nek5000-users] Midside Node Support for Nek5000

Neks,

I am working on a script for translating 3rd-Party grids to Nek5000 and mid-side node support would greatly improve the quality of the grids.

I am wondering inf Nek5000 supports midside nodes?  I was looking through the archived user lists and saw a thread from 2010 about a matlab script for translating Gambit grids to Nekton that supported midside nodes, but I wasn't sure if Nek5000 supports this feature.  If so, could some please provide an example of how this is structured in the *rea file? Or additionally, if someone could share the 2010 matlab script with me that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
