Export Mesh Settings

The following files are created from AcuConsole when a mesh is generated (Tools > Generate Mesh or on toolbar) with the Export ams file option turned on.
.ams  
Description Input file for AcuMeshSim
Location Same directory as <problem>.acs
Name Same as <problem> name given by you
File type ASCII, .xml
This file is needed for mesh generation by AcuMeshSim. It can be deleted, but will need to be recreated in order to regenerate a mesh.
nm.smd  
Description Non-manifold geometry file
Location \CAD.DIR directory below the location of the .acs file
Name Same as the name of the geometry file imported for the problem - <geom>nm.smd
File type ASCII
This file is needed for mesh generation by AcuMeshSim. It can be deleted, but will need to be recreated in order to regenerate a mesh.
nat.x_t or nat.x_b  
Description Parasolid geometry file
Location \CAD.DIR directory below the location of the .acs file
Name Same as the name of the geometry file imported for the problem - <geom>nat.x_t or <geom>nat.x_b
File type ASCII (.x_t), binary (.x_b)
The Parasolid geometry file may not exist if the model was meshed from a tessellated surface. This file should not be edited manually.
