SYRTHES4ENSIGHT(1)
π SYRTHES4ENSIGHT β the manual page, but make it make sense π
okay bestie, gather round, because this is the manual page for syrthes4ensight from the General Commands Manual section (section 1, obvi, it's a command). If you've ever had a .syr file staring at you like ποΈπποΈ and you were like "girl what do I even do with you", this is the page for you.
β¨ NAME β¨
syrthes4ensight β convert Syrthes geometry and result files to Ensight format π
like it literally does the format glow-up. Syrthes in, Ensight out. iconic behavior.
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
syrthes4ensight [options] -m file.syr [-r file.res] -o ensight_file
syrthes4ensight -h
see how -m and -o are like, mandatory-ish? and -r is chilling in brackets because it's optional? yeah. that's the vibe. π
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so real talk: this manual page documents briefly the syrthes4ensight command. just the highlights, the cliffnotes, the sparknotes of it all. if you want the detailed documentation (the director's cut, the extended edition), it lives at <http://rd.edf.com/syrthes> β¨
and what does it actually do? syrthes4ensight can convert SYRTHES geometry files, and β optionally β results files. that's it. that's the whole job. no cap. π«Ά
π OPTIONS π
-mfile.syr β use SYRTHES file file.syr as input. this is your main character. the geometry source. the blueprint bestie. π-rfile.res β use SYRTHES result file file.res as additional input. result file generated bysyrthes. it can be either a single time step result file, or a chrono file containing several time steps β and in that latter case, all time steps will be handled. yes, ALL of them. she's thorough. π-oensight_file β define the name of the output Ensight file. this is what you're naming, so name it something you'll actually recognize later, i'm begging π-bβ output Ensight gold binary files. fancy. β¨-uβ for binary files only: no geometry writing. so like,-bgirlies only, don't try it otherwise. π--noSurfβ no writing of surfacic parts. surf's up but we're not writing it down. π--noVolβ no writing of volumic parts. volume off. muted. π--noPlainβ no writing of the whole domain (only volumic parts are written). so you lose the big picture but keep the volume. a choice. π-hβ display a shortsyrthes4ensightusage message. the little "hey here's how you use me" moment. π
π EXAMPLES π
here's where it gets fun, because these are the actual real-life scenarios:
syrthes4ensight -m file.syr -r file.res -o ensight_file
syrthes4ensight --noSurf -m file.syr -r file.res -o ensight_file
syrthes4ensight -b -m file.syr -r file.res -o ensight_file
syrthes4ensight -b -u -m file.syr -r file.res -o ensight_file
syrthes4ensight -m file.syr -o ensight_file
and that last one? that's mesh conversion only β no results file, just the geometry doing its little solo. main character energy, honestly. β
