Remove Duplicate Surfaces From FV-UNS Files
Use the -rmds or -remove_duplicate_surfaces command line option to remove duplicate surface information.
When writing FV-UNS files, AcuTrans is able to convert all
SIMPLE_BOUNDARY_CONDITION and
SURFACE_OUTPUT commands into surfaces that are available as
boundaries in AcuFieldView. Often times, these sets of
surfaces contain identical nodes and elements and are redundant for visualization
purposes. In these cases, it is desirable to remove the duplicate surfaces and only
show the unique set. This is accomplished with the -rmds or
-remove_duplicate_surfaces command line option. When this
option is turned on, all surfaces are compared to ensure that they are not
duplicates of any others in the set that has been converted. For example, to write
all surfaces into the FV-UNS file, the following command would be
used:
"acuTrans -out -to fieldview -no_rmds"To write only the unique surfaces to disk, the following command would be
used:
"acuTrans -out -to fieldview -rmds"The -rmds option is on by default, so there is no need to explicitly specify this command line option unless you desire to turn it off.
