convert utility and simmodeler version 8

[mortezah]

The convert utility creates an empty mesh when provided with a simmetirx mesh generate using version 8 of simmodeler.

[cwsmith]

Which version of SimModSuite was used to build the convert utility?

[mortezah]

simmetrix-simmodsuite/12.0-180713-6dupwm4

[cwsmith]

I built and ran the Simmetrix provided meshSimModelerMeshingCase.cc from the MeshSimAdvanced examples and hit an error when loading an .smd file created with SimModeler 8.0-190222 in GM_load(...). The build used SimModSuite 14.0-1902222dev.

I then ran the pumi simTranslate tool on the .smd and parasolid model to produce a GeomSim model with attributes in a new .smd file. Running this .smd through meshSimModelerMeshingCase produced the expected mesh.

Can you test the convert tool built with 14.0-1902222dev?

I tried version 14. and got the following error during cmake configurations step

CMake Error at cmake/FindSimModSuite.cmake:80 (MESSAGE):
  invalid Simmetrix version: 14.0.190222, valid versions are 11.0.170826 to
  12.0.181124

I changed the version requirements in the FindSimModSuite.cmake and was able fix the above error but got another one

CMake Error at cmake/FindSimModSuite.cmake:48 (message):
  libSimParasolid290 not found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  cmake/FindSimModSuite.cmake:104 (getSimCadLib)
  CMakeLists.txt:107 (find_package)

Do you know how that one can be fixed quickly?

[cwsmith]

Yes. Change the following line: https://github.com/SCOREC/core/blob/56ce376bd341169e1847ac39aba57be3c06a902a/cmake/FindSimModSuite.cmake#L100 to set(SIM_PARASOLID_VERSION 300).

Ok, compiling core with version 14 of simModSuite fixes the problem for covert utility.

Side note, by going to version 14 some of the other tests failed to compile, see for example

CMakeFiles/rm_extrusion.dir/rm_extrusion.cc.o: In function `main':
/users/hakimm2/SCOREC/core/test/rm_extrusion.cc:123: undefined reference to `M_removeSurfaceExtrusionConstraints(SMesh*, PList*)'

I am getting this same empty mesh issue with a recent build of version 7 (e.g. SimModeler7.0-190424) though our version of simModSuiite 14 libraries are much older (e.g., 14.0-180813dev ). Does anyone know if getting something more recent is needed? Here is the error fix_pyramids 1 attach_order 0 enable_log 0 native-model '(null)' model '../SlatRotateDemo.smd' simmetrix mesh '../SlatRotateDemo.sms' output mesh 'bz2:mdsMesh_bz2/' read and created the simmetrix mesh in 0.014225 seconds created the apf_sim mesh in 0.003138 seconds transferring quadratic mesh created the apf_mds mesh in 0.024201 seconds number of triangle 0 quad 0 mesh entity counts: v 0 e 0 f 0 r 0

resolved by moving to a 190416 version.

Just ran into this. module load simmetrix/simModeler loads SimModeler 7.0 and module load pumi/develop-int32-shared-sim-tml2cn2 (the only version of Pumi linked to SimModSuite) loads SimModSuite 12.0-190413, so the "default" configuration on the Scorec workstations is currently broken.

[cwsmith]

@JaredCrean2 SimModeler 7.0-190604dev and SimModSuite 14.0-190617dev are a valid version combination. On scorec the modules for these are:

module load simmetrix/simModeler/7.0-190604dev
module load gcc mpich pumi/develop-int32-shared-sim-4h5fi2k

I think the key thing is to have a SimModSuite 14 build date that is newer than the SimModeler 7 build date.
