3.4 Creating a D.S. NOPO

Preprocessor WRNOXX creates a file, called prefix.nopo, containing a mesh in the form of a NOPO type D.S. containing the corresponding volumetric mesh, from the following two files:

• prefixe.coor
• prefixe.vol

The two initial files are described in part 2, in section 2.4 devoted to REFEXX, for the sub-menu "CONSTRUCTION DE BD".

It also creates a file, called prefix.nopo, containing a mesh in the form of a NOPO type D.S. containing the corresponding surface mesh, from the following two files:

• prefixe.points
• prefixe.faces

The two initial files are described in part 2, in section 2.4 devoted to REFEXX, for the sub-menu "CONSTRUCTION DE BD".

Module CONOPO, described in [MODULEF User Guide - 3], constructs a NOPO type data structure from two standard arrays. In this manner, we can convert our own data structure into a structure known by the MODULEF modules.
