Input and Output Files

Input files

• Control file (*.control)
• Mesh file (*.mesh / *.h5 / *.msh)
• Polynomial order file (*.omesh)
• Problem File (ProblemFile.f90)

Notes on the GMSH format (*.msh) and general workflow using GMSH.

• Curved geometry supported up to polynomial order 5.
• Curved geometry should be generated using the following options: tools -> options -> mesh -> general -> element order.
• HORSES3D can read mesh format 4.1 and 2.2 (legacy format).
• The solution to most of the problems mesh reading is to load it in GMSH and export to format 2.2 to have a clean ASCII file.

Output files

• Solution file (*.hsol)
• Horses mesh file (*.hmesh)
• Boundary information (*.bmesh)
• Partition file (*.pmesh)
• Polynomial order file (*.omesh)
• Monitor files (*.volume / *.surface / *.residuals)
