Dear all, I have this kind of mesh file, and I want to use PETSc to include the information of this file.
In short, this file contains of: <NUM_OF_NODES> <NUM_OF_ELEMENTS> <1> <2> <3> <NODE1_X_COORD> <NODE1_Y_COORD> <NODE1_Z_COORD> <FLAG> <NODE2_X_COORD> <NODE2_Y_COORD> <NODE2_Z_COORD> <FLAG> <NODE3_X_COORD> <NODE3_Y_COORD> <NODE3_Z_COORD> <FLAG> ... ... ... <NODEN_X_COORD> <NODEN_Y_COORD> <NODEN_Z_COORD> <FLAG> <ELEMENT_NUMBER_1> <ELEMENT_NUMBER_2> <ELEMENT_NUMBER_3> <ELEMENT_NUMBER_4> <----showing element connectivity from node 1 2 3 and 4. Can I read this kind of data into PETSc? I am new in PETSc and want to use it for this purpose. Actually, this file contains a mesh of cardiac heart, and I want to convert this data into a suitable mesh data structure, and I thought that PETSc have a kind of mesh data structure. However, after surfing into a lot of tutorial, I cannot find any references that suits my purpose. heart_het.dat <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7k-y9MbsuJUNU9PNWVmYU51alk/view?usp=drive_web> Aroli Marcellinus *Kumoh Institute of Technology**Computational Medicine Laboratory* 61 Daehak-ro (Sinpyeong-dong), Gumi, Gyeongbuk +82 10 9724 3957 KTalk ID: vondarkness
