[esp-r] Re: topology tool and data

[Achim.geissler]

The question I have also asked myself is: Is the .cnn file still necessary
during calculation when using the new .geo format? If not, I think the
original poster could edit the .geo file, only, during run-time (of a
script, as I understand the intention). Or, the other way around, is editing
of *only* the .cnn O.K. for bps?

run bps
change (.cnn or .geo)
run bps
... etc.

 The functionality of the separate topology tool has been integrated into
the ESP-r Project Manager
 in browse edit simulate -> zone composition -> surface connections &
boundary
 
 It does the scan of all or part of the model and finds surfaces that are
geometrically
 associated as well as offering editing of individual connections.

 Subject: [esp-r]  topology tool and data
 
 Dear all,
 
 I am quite a beginner in esp-r and I am trying to evaluate whether it
 can be valuable for my research. I posted a similar question on the
 esp-r user club :
 http://esp-r.forumactif.com/zones-geometry-topology-tool-f3/topology-tool-t74.htm
(http://esp-r.forumactif.com/zones-geometry-topology-tool-f3/topology-tool-t74.htm"
target="_blank" class="autolink)
 
 First, I am looking for the topology tool as a standalone in the
 binaries (cfg as described here
 http://www.esru.strath.ac.uk/Programs/ESP-r_tut/esp_aps.htm#ap_cfg
(http://www.esru.strath.ac.uk/Programs/ESP-r_tut/esp_aps.htm#ap_cfg"
target="_blank" class="autolink)). But
 was not able to find it on the linux distribution. Is it still
 available? Does compiling from source would make it appear ?? Can I
 invoke it on the command line using prj?
 
 Actually I would like to automate the creation of the connection list to
 accommodate for parametrically changing topologies and thought that the
 topology tool could achieve this from the zones geometry definition.
 Does anyone has another (better) idea?
 
 Also, looking closely at the files .cnn and .geo I realize that the
 boundary conditions is duplicated in the surfaces geometric definition.
 
 ..geo
 
 *surf,part_a,VERT,-,-,-,int_part,OPAQUE,ANOTHER,01,01  #   6 ||<
 part_a:reception
 
 ..cnn
 
     2   6   3   1   1  #   18 part_a in examination >|< part_a in reception
 
 
 Apparently, the .geo file is updated after running the topology tool.
 However, when clearing the topology information, the .geo file is not
 updated. Trying to save the (examination) zone geometry I get the
following:
 
 ..geo
 
 *surf,part_a,VERT,-,-,-,int_part,OPAQUE,ANOTHER,01,01  #   6 ||< external
 
 ..cnn
 
     2   6   0   0   0  #   18 part_a in examination is External
 
 
 When is the difference resolved?
 
 
 Thanks in advance for the help.
 
 Kind regards.
