2.1.22. mentat_spectralBox
Purpose
Generate MSC.Marc FE hexahedral mesh from geom file.
Usage
> mentat_spectralBox options file[s]
Options
-
-p
/ --port
[ none ] - Mentat connection port
-
--homogenization
[ auto ] - homogenization index to be used
Example
> mentat_spectralBox --port 40007 micro.geom
This example demonstrates the mesh generation and initial condition setup performed by the script.
The geometry (Figure
1(a)) is taken from
micro.geom and passed to MSC.Mentat (Figure
1(b) ).
Option
--port 40007
connects to a MSC.Menat instance listening on (standard) port 40007.
