tdr-convert: tdr file converter

Introduction

This utility provides TDR file format conversion to devsim, Gmsh, or Tecplot file format

pip install tdr-convert
tdr_convert --tdr file.tdr --devsim file.msh --drop_interfaces_at_contact --scale 1e-4

tdr_convert --help

usage: tdr_convert [-h] --tdr TDR [--load_datasets] [--tecplot TECPLOT] [--devsim DEVSIM] [--gmsh GMSH] [--gmsh_import GMSH_IMPORT]
                   [--device_name DEVICE_NAME] [--scale SCALE] [--drop_interfaces_at_contact] [--tetgen TETGEN] [--exodus EXODUS]
                   [--vtk VTK] [--old]

Create mesh from tdr file

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --tdr TDR             the tdr file to input
  --load_datasets       write data sets
  --tecplot TECPLOT     the tecplot file to output
  --devsim DEVSIM       the devsim file to output
  --gmsh GMSH           the gmsh file to output
  --gmsh_import GMSH_IMPORT
                        the file to write the devsim commands to recreate a new gmsh device
  --device_name DEVICE_NAME
                        the device name
  --scale SCALE         coordinate scaling factor
  --drop_interfaces_at_contact
                        drop interfaces from nodes at contact
  --tetgen TETGEN       the base name for tetgen files to output
  --exodus EXODUS       name of the exodus output file
  --vtk VTK             basename for vtk output file
  --old                 use old method for getting data using devsim

Mesh Requirements

Requires triangular device simulation mesh in 2D. A tetrahedral mesh is required in 3D. Mixed elements are not supported.

Known Issues

The exodus exporter loses data at interfaces when a variable has different values in different regions.

Vector data will name its fields with a suffix for the index. E_0, E_1, E_2

Program does not currently support multiple time steps.
