GeomSim `.SMD` creation utility for meshes classified on a parasolid model #438

Closed cwsmith closed 2 months ago

cwsmith commented 3 months ago

If an 'old' pumi mesh and parasolid model are loaded with PUMI linked against a 'newer' simmodsuite (>2023.1?) you may hit errors during mesh loading (model entities not found, see https://github.com/SCOREC/core/issues/434). To support these old meshes and models, we are going to have to create a utility that generates the needed GeomSim .smd file from an existing model using an older simmodsuite version that has the 'expected' model entity numbering.

see #441 - there may be cases where keeping the parasolid model may be needed and in those cases the tests/drivers would have to be modified to read both the .smd and parasolid file
