!MESH

Specifies the mesh data file.

!MESH, NAME=<name>, TYPE=<type> [,optional parameter]
fileheader

#Example
!MESH, NAME=fstrMSH, TYPE=HECMW-DIST, REFINE=1
Mesh.in

Parameter
NAME	Identifier (required)
TYPE	Mesh type (required)
IO	Input/output specification (optional)
REFINE	Mesh refinement specification (optional)

Parameter Name	Parameter Value	Description
NAME	fstrMSH	Solver input data
	part_in	Partitioner input data
	part_out	Partitioner output data
TYPE	HECMW-DIST	HEC-MW distributed mesh data
	HECMW-ENTIRE	HEC-MW single-domain mesh data
	INP	inp-format mesh data (.inp)
	NASTRAN	Nastran-format mesh data
IO	IN	For input (default)
	OUT	For output
REFINE	<integer>	Number of mesh refinements

Variable Name	Description
fileheader	Mesh data file-name header. Both relative and absolute paths can be specified. A relative path is interpreted from the current directory.

Notes

The presence or value of the IO parameter has no effect on operation.

When TYPE is HECMW-DIST, the fileheader specified on the data line is the file name with the trailing ".<rank>" removed.

When TYPE is INP, an inp-format input file (.inp) is read directly. Supported keywords include *NODE, *ELEMENT, *NSET, *ELSET, *MATERIAL, *ELASTIC, *DENSITY, *SOLID SECTION, etc. When the analysis control data (.cnt) defines !MATERIAL, the material definition in the mesh is overridden.

When TYPE is NASTRAN, a Nastran-format bulk data file is read directly.
