\page ghs3dprl_hypo_page GHS3DPRL Parameters hypothesis

\n GHS3DPRL Parameters hypothesis works only with <b>Tetrahedron (Tepal with TetMesh-GHS3D)</b> algorithm.
\n
\n This algorithm is a commercial software, its use requires a licence (http://www.distene.com/fr/build/offer.html).

\n Tepal gives the possibility to generate a partitioned
mesh with 200 million tetrahedrons on a computer with average memory size
(2Go RAM) in about 50 hours on one CPU (Xeon, 2008). 
This is a serious alternative to GHS3D, which requires a much less common
configuration with 64Go RAM to only try to make a partition of a mesh with
200 million tetrahedrons, no result guaranteed.
\n
\note The Plugin doesn't load in the Memory the supposedly large resulting meshes. 
The meshes are saved in MED files and can be imported in the user-defined location via menu File-Import-MED Files.
\n Pay attention, that Salome GUI needs 2Go RAM. to load a MED
file with 5 million tetrahedrons.

<ul>
<li>
<b>Name</b> - allows to define the name of the hypothesis (GHS3DPRL Parameters by default).
</li>
<li>
<b>MED_Name</b> - allows to define the path and the prefix of the 
resulting MED files ("DOMAIN" by default). 
If the path is not defined, the environment variable $SALOME_TMP_DIR
is used. If $SALOME_TMP_DIR is not defined as well, the environment
variable $TMP is used.
</li>
<li>
<b>Nb_Part</b> - allows to define the number of generated MED files.
The initial skin (triangles) will be meshed (tetrahedrons) and partitioned 
in Nb_Part by the elementary algorithm implemented in Tepal.<br>
</li>
<li>
<b>Keep_Files</b> - if this box is checked, input files of Tepal 
(GHS3DPRL.points and GHS3DPRL.faces) are not deleted after use (...if the
background mode was not used).
</li>
<li>
<b>Tepal_in_Background</b> - if this box is checked, Tepal execution
and MED file generation are launched in background mode and the user
can even exit Salome. Pay attention that in this case Tepal algorithm works
independently of "killSalome.py", and sometimes on another host.
</li>
<li>
<b>To_Mesh_Holes</b> - if this box is checked, the parameter component 
of tetmesh-ghs3d will mesh holes.
</li>

<h1>Modifying GHS3DPRL Advanced Parameters</h1><br>
GHS3DPRL Plugin launches a standalone binary executable tepal2med.<br>
tepal2med launches tepal, waits for the end of computation, and
converts the resulting output tepal files into MED files.<br>
Some advanced optional parameters are accessible as arguments.<br>

If keep_files option is checked, it is possible to re-launch tepal2med
or tepal in the Terminal as a command with custom parameters.<br>

<b>Advanced ghs3d Parameters (through tepal's --tetmesh_args)</b> - type "ghs3d -h" in a Terminal. <p>

\verbatim

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 in Megabytes.
                  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      : provides the automatic memory adjustment feature.
                  If MEMORY (in Megabytes) is equal to zero, the size of the work space is
                  calculated from the input. If MEMORY is not equal to
                  zero, the software starts with MEMORY amount of work space.
                  The software reallocates memory as necessary.
                  The start value of  MEMORY can range from 0 to 64 Megabytes,
                  the maximum depends on -m option 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 the parameter is
                      0, all components will be meshed, if
                      1, only the main (outermost) component will be meshed

 -p0            : disables creation of internal points.

 -C             : uses an alternative boundary recovery mechanism. It should be used only
                  when the standard boundary recovery fails.

 -E count       : sets the extended output for error messages. If -E is used,
                  the error messages will be printed, it is possible
                  to indicate the maximum number of printed messages between 1 and 100.

 -t             : generates an error file prefix.Log

 -o level       : sets the required optimisation level.
                  Valid optimisation levels are:
                  none, light, standard or strong,
                  with increase 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 type of files
                    -IPb input files are binary files, named prefix.pointsb
                     and prefix.facesb
                    -IM input file is ascii file, named prefix.mesh
                  where prefix is defined with -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.
