Hi everybody,
I am trying to couple SYRTHES with Code Aster. For that, I need the SYRTHES output data in the med file format. I succesfully activated the syrthes2med command. The resulting med contains the mesh and the calculated temperature field, but not the face definitions. Without them I have no possibility to impose any force on the mesh with Aster. 
If I am using syrthes2ensight the faces are written in the .case file. Maybe someone has got an idea how to edit syrthes2med.c to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!
 

Hello,
I'm sorry I don't have any idea but there is a Syrthes support at this mail :
 
syrthes-support@edf.fr
 
I think it can be helpful.

I wrote an E-Mail to the Syrthes support a few days ago, but until now I didn't get an answer. Thanks anyway for the information.
 
I will post the answer if I get one..

Hello,
In any case, as SYRTHES fields are defined by node values, you could probably simply extract the boundary (or a part thereof) of the volume MED file, and use that.
I am not sure what you intend to do, but I assume that you want to reuse the SYRTHES output (containing a temperature field) as a computational mesh for Code_Aster, and the med2syrthes -> SYRTHES -> syrthes2med toolchain "looses" your boundary faces.
Thermal studies with SYRTHES followed by Code_Aster studies with the SYRTHES temperature field have been done many times, but to my knowledge, the temperature field was interpolated from the SYRTHES output to the Code_Aster mesh (this has the advantage of allowing a finer mesh for the SYRTHES calculation). To my knowledge, this is done using Code_Aster's internal interpolation commands.
