The TRANSFERMESH input statement

The TRANSFERMESH input statement has the same form as the TRANSFER statement:

TRANSFERMESH ( 'filename', name1 [,name2,..] )

The TRANSFERMESH input statement, however, not only imports data definitions stored on disk, but also IMPOSES THE FINITE ELEMENT MESH STRUCTURE of the imported file onto the current problem, bypassing the normal mesh generation process.

In order for this imposition to work, the importing descriptor file must have EXACTLY the same domain definition statements as the exporting file.

The TRANSFERMESH file does not contain a complete description of the boundaries and boundary conditions of the exporting problem, but only the mesh layout.  Be sure to use a copy of the exporting domain definition in your importing descriptor.  You may change the boundary conditions, but not the boundary positions and ordering.

TRANSFERMESH can read only files created by a TRANSFER output statement.  Other file formats cannot be read.

Examples:

Samples | Misc | Import-Export | Mesh_out.pde

Samples | Misc | Import-Export | Mesh_in.pde
