hopr issue #13

Closed cesarengineer closed 1 year ago

cesarengineer commented 1 year ago

Just a quick question on hopr. Is it absolutely necessary to use hopr for simulation? We have used a gmesh file but we get errors. We have been trying to follow the instructions given in the plasma wave tutorial to adapt our case.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi,

you need hopr in order to convert the gmsh file into a piclas mesh format in order to run the simulation. You can download the hopr executable for Linux systems from the release assets if you don't want to compile hopr yourself: https://github.com/hopr-framework/hopr/releases/tag/v1.1.1

For a gmsh mesh file format it would be better to check out the following tutorial: https://piclas.readthedocs.io/en/latest/userguide/tutorials/dsmc-cone-2D/dsmc-cone-2D.html

Kind regards Stephen
