/*! \page ghs3dprl_hypo_page GHS3DPRL Parameters hypothesis \n GHS3DPRL Parameters hypothesis works only with Tetrahedron (Tepal with TetMesh-GHS3D) algorithm. \n \n This algorithm is a commercial software, its use requires a licence (http://www.distene.com/fr/build/offer.html). \n The advantage of Tepal is the possibility to generate (for example) a partitioned 200 million tetrahedra mesh on a not-so-big memory computer (2Go RAM) ...in something like 50 hours of one CPU (Xeon, 2008). This is an alternative to Pluging GHS3D where you should need something like a not-so-common CPU with 64Go RAM to try to do a one-partitionned 200 million tetrahedra mesh ...in a much less time indeed. \n \n Notes: \n This Plugin doesn't load in Memory the supposed plentiful big resulting meshes. It's user choice: (in GUI Mesh mode) menu File-Import-MED Files. \n Beware, to load one 5 millions tetrahedra MED file, GUI Salome needs 2Go RAM. \n A new true parallel faster version of Tepal, using MPI, is expected in 2009. \image html ghs3dprl_parameters_basic.png

Advanced ghs3d Parameters (through tepal's --tetmesh_args) - type "ghs3d -h" in a Terminal.
\verbatim myname@myhost > ghs3d -h USE /export/home/myname/ghs3d-4.0/DISTENE/Tools/TetMesh-GHS3D4.0/bin/Linux/ghs3dV4.0 [-u] [-m memory>] [-M MEMORY] [-f prefix] [-v verbose] [-c component] [-p0] [-C] [-E count] [-t] [-o level] [-I filetype] [-a/-b] [-O n m] DESCRIPTION -u (-h) : prints this message. -m memory : launches the software with memory Megabytes of work space. The default value of this parameter is 64 Megabytes and its minimum value is 10 Megabytes. It is also possible to set this parameter with the environment variable GHS3D_MEMORY by means of an operation equivalent to: setenv GHS3D_MEMORY memory, the value specified in the command line has the priority on the environment variable. -M MEMORY : uses the automatic memory adjustment feature. If MEMORY is zero, the size of the work space is initially guessed from the input. If MEMORY is not zero, the software starts with MEMORY Megabytes of work space. The software then reallocates more and more memory as needed. The starting value when MEMORY equals 0 is 64 Megabytes, the maximum is given with memory of the -m option if used and the actual memory available. -f prefix : defines the generic prefix of the files. -v verbose : sets the output level parameter (the verbose parameter must be in the range 0 to 10). -c component : chooses the meshed component. If component is 0, all components to be meshed 1, only the main (outermost) component to be meshed -p0 : disables creation of internal points. -C : uses alternate boundary recovery version. To be used only when the boundary recovery of the standard version fails. -E count : sets the extended output for error messages. If -E is used, the error messages found will be printed, up to a maximum count of errors between 1 and 100. -t : generates an error file prefix.Log -o level : sets the desired optimisation level. Valid optimisation levels are: none, light, medium or standard, strong, in increasing order of "quality vs speed" ratio. -I filetype : defines the input mesh format as follows: -IP input files are ascii files, named prefix.points and prefix.faces - this is the default -IPb input files are binary files, named prefix.pointsb and prefix.facesb -IM input file is ascii file, named prefix.mesh where prefix is given with the -f option -a/-b : selects the output file type: -a for ascii (the default) and -b for binary. -On : saves a NOPO file in addition. NOPO is the mesh data structure of the Simail and Modulef software packages. -Om : saves a mesh file in addition. -Omn : saves both NOPO and mesh files. ============================================================================== TETMESH-GHS3D SOFTWARE 4.0-3 (December, 2006) END OF SESSION COPYRIGHT (C)1989-2006 INRIA ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ============================================================================== ( Distene SAS Phone: +33(0)1-69-26-62-10 Fax: +33(0)1-69-26-90-33 EMail: support@distene.com ) \endverbatim
