[Nek5000-users] Periodic-AUTO using pretex problem

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

Thanks Paul. 
Can I convert a 2D mesh with a small thickness in Z direction (3D ) using n2to3? 

The thing is, I use ICEM for meshing and converting it into .msh format. Then I use mshconvert.py for the conversion to NEK5000. 

So for the mshconvert.py I make a small thickness on the mesh to make HEXA8 mesh. 

Or do you have any solution for this too? 

Thank in advance 
Sijo

Dear Sijo, 




I would recommend using n2to3 to extrude 

the 2D geometry 

and then periodicity will be built in.

Hello Neks, 

I was setting up a mesh of NACA foil in 3D with periodic BC on both sides. Since there was some problem with converting BC's from ICEM to NEK5000. I gave a space as BC and then using prex I fill up the empy spaces by using periodic Auto button. 

But its running for a long time. It means its running through the same elements again and again. 

I tired on a simple case (example a cube). it worked well. 

The difference between the NACA case and cube is that, along the spanwise direction of NACA I did not give any elements (i just give a thickness to the mesh) but for the cube there were 2 elements in Z direction. 

So could you please tell me how can I solve this problem? 

Thanks in advance 

Sijo GEORGE
