💖 CONVERT2SYRTHES(1) — the convert2syrthes4 glow-up guide 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair because we're talking about convert2syrthes4, a lil General Commands Manual situation, and honestly? it's giving mesh-file makeover. no cap.

✨ NAME ✨

convert2syrthes4 — she converts mesh files into SYRTHES format. that's it, that's the girl. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

convert2syrthes4 [-dim dimension] -m mesh1.ext [-o mesh2.syr]

like, look at her. simple. iconic. a whole mood.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this manual page is the quick lil rundown of the convert2syrthes4 command, fr fr.

what she does is take mesh files from GAMBIT, GMSH, MED, SIMAIL or IDEAS and convert them into SYRTHES format. glow-up complete. 💅

and if you want the full lore, a detailed documentation is available at <http://rd.edf.com/syrthes> — go read, iykyk. 📖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -dim dimension — here dimension is either 2 or 3, no in-between, pick a lane. 🫶 this option is requested for the GMSH file format, and ignored otherwise (so don't stress if you don't need it, she literally does not care).
  • -m mesh1.ext — this is the one telling her which mesh file to convert. she figures out the format from the file's extension, main character detective energy:
    • .neu (GAMBIT format)
    • .msh (GMSH format)
    • .med (MED format)
    • .des (SIMAIL format)
    • .unv (IDEAS universal file format)
Note: for MED format, convert2syrthes4 creates an additionnal ASCII file (..._desc) where you will find the correspondances between group names (used in Salome) and family (or references) numbers used in SYRTHES. yes bestie, extra file, extra lore, keep it. 💖
  • -o mesh2.syr — use this if you wanna change the name of the output file. rename era. ✨

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

because watching her work is lowkey mesmerizing:

convert2syrthes4 -m square.med
       --> square.syr + square.syr_desc
convert2syrthes4 -m square.neu
       --> square.syr
convert2syrthes4 -m square.des
       --> square.syr
convert2syrthes4 -m square.unv
       --> square.syr
convert2syrthes4 -m square.msh -dim 2
       --> square.syr
convert2syrthes4 -m square.med -o square2.syr
       --> square2.syr + square2.syr_desc

see how the .med ones get that bonus _desc file? not a glitch, that's just her. 😌
