The files required by SPECFEM can be exported. What I need is a high-resolution grid model diagram. Can I export it directly in Cubit or export the grid file to create a graph in Paraview?
for the SPECFEM3D examples, the mesh in CUBIT only contains the element anchor points for either a linear hex-element (i.e., 8 corner points) or a quadratic hex27-element (27 shape nodes per element). that is the most in terms of resolution you can export in CUBIT. the GLL quadrature points are added when running xgenerate_databases
to create the mesh for a simulation. those higher-resolution meshes can be visualized by turning on the SAVE_MESH_FILES
flag in Par_file
, and then converted into a VTK/VTU format by the xcombine_vol_data_**
tools.
regarding the export format in CUBIT, something that works with Paraview is to export the mesh in CUBIT as Exodus file (e.g. File -> Export... -> mesh.e), and open it in Paraview for visualization.
Thank you very much for your patient answer.
