syrthes - transfer of mesh and result files

[kathi]

hello

there is no Syrthes forum, so I hope to get help here:

After installing Syrthes I don't find any tools for the transfer of mesh and result files, in particular from and back to .med or .rmed.

What we did:

(1)
in Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install syrthes
--> version 4.3 is installed. But there are no conversion tools
med-->syr and vice versa

(2)
on arbitrary Linux: Download syrthes version 4.1.1-dfsg1-5 from here:
https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/SYRTHES#tab=Overview
But when installing:
python syrthes_install.py
there is the message in the Shell:

QUESTIONS
-------------------------------------

(a)
what can we do to resolve the installation problem of syrthes 4.1?

(b)
or: how can a conversion tool med-->syrthes and vice versa for
postprocessing be installed for the version 3.4 which is already
included in Ubuntu?

(c)
there is an interesting internet page with even a newer version 4.3 and
with Syrthes for Windows:

https://www.edf.fr/en/content/syrthes-0

But all the links are empty.
Does the Windows version and the newer version 4.3 exist and how could
we get it?

(d)
Just a supposition: is (perhaps) syrthes included if we make a full
installation of Code-Saturne? And also the converter from and back
syrtes-med included?

many thanks for you help

Hello kathi,

The tool to convert a mesh created in salome (* .med) to a mesh to be used in Syrthes is "convert2syrthes4", and it is provided as a Syrthes tool. For the results file, inside of syrthes you have to go to "Running options" , "Advanced Options" , "Convert results fo software" and there you can choose : MED, Ensigth or no convertion.

You can download syrthes 4.3 from https://www.edf.fr/en/the-edf-group/wor ... ciel=10818.

Also you can find in the forum several pages with installation tips, like this http://code-saturne.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1465

Hello all,

I found the "convert2syrthes4" does not work for the meshes in med format exported from salome versions newer than 7.8.
It seems due to the update of MED library.

Is there any way to handle this?

Will the newer version of syrthes come out to couple with the code_saturne 5.0?

Sincerely,

Junemo

Hello,

There was no recent change in the coupling between Syrthes and Code_Saturne, so Syrthes versions 4.2 and above are compatible with Code_Saturne versions 4.0 and above. The new version of Syrthes should also remain compatible with Code_Saturne 5.0 (I do not know exactly when it should be released, though it should be ready at the latest for a released of Salome-CFD around September; Code_Saturne 5.0 should be released at the end of this month, as soon as the undergoing full validation process is finished).

If you rebuild the version of Syrthes you are using with MED 3.2, you should be able to read MED files from recent Salome versions. You can download MED 3.2 on the Salome web site, although the link may be hard to locate on the downloads page: http://files.salome-platform.org/Salome ... 2.1.tar.gz.

Best regards,

Yvan
