hello!
at the moment i'm trying to calculate different case-setups, all designed with the same mesh. is it possible to store the mesh only once, and all of the other cases have access to the mesh?
thanks.

regards,
m

Hi m,

You can simply use symbolic links for this. You can for example make a directory structure like
$/case1
$/case2
$/case...
$/caseN
$/polyMesh

and in each of the $/case*/constant folders you type

ln -s ../../polyMesh .

If you want to run the simulations in parallel, the situation is basically the same but then you need to set the links to all processor*/constant/polyMesh folders.

Cheers,

Lieven

Hi Lieven,
thanks for your reply. After a few errors I figured it out how to do it.

I am a beginner, I have one question, where do you place these $/case1 and in where do you type ln -s ../../polyMesh .
