unvpp

A C++17 library for reading Ideas-UNV mesh format.

unvpp is designed as a parser for input UNV meshes for finite volume analysis. unvpp reads the following tags in .unv mesh files:

System of units tag 164
Nodes tag 2411 (vertices)
Elements tag 2412 (lines, quads, triangles, hexagons, tetrahedrons and wedges)
Groups tag 2452, 2467 and 757 (for boundary patches and cell zones)

Other tags are ignored.

Get Started

Using as a CMake dependency

Having CMake 3.11 or later, you can use FetchContent to add unvpp as a dependency to your project:

include(FetchContent)

FetchContent_Declare(
    unvpp
    GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/eigemx/unvpp.git
    GIT_TAG main
)

FetchContent_MakeAvailable(unvpp)

add_executable(main src/main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(main PRIVATE unvpp)

Build `unv-report` tool:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/eigemx/unvpp.git

cd unvpp && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

This will compile unvpp library and unv-report tool in build\bin directory. unv-report tool is a simple tool for printing mesh information.

Tutorial

#include <unvpp/unvpp.h>
#include <iostream>

auto main() -> int {
    unvpp::Mesh mesh = unvpp::read("./my_mesh.unv");

    // print string representation of the mesh system of units
    // if the mesh does not have a system of units, 
    // print the default representation string "Unknown".
    // Check definition of UnitsSystem in unvpp/unvpp.h file
    std::cout << "Units system: " 
              << mesh.unit_system().value_or(unvpp::UnitsSystem()).repr()
              << std::endl;

    // print count of mesh vertices
    std::cout << "Vertices count = " 
              << mesh.vertices().size() 
              << std::endl;

    // print count of mesh elements (cells)
    std::cout << "Elements count = " 
              << mesh.elements().value_or(std::vector<unvpp::Element>()).size()
              << std::endl;

    // print group names and element count (like boundary patches or cell zones)
    for (auto& group : mesh.groups().value_or(std::vector<unvpp::Group>())) {
        std::cout << "Group name: " 
                  << group.name() 
                  << " - elements count = " 
                  << group.elements_ids().size()
                  << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}

unvpp is designed to have a minimal interface, you can understand more about the various types included in unvpp::Mesh class by simply inspecting <unvpp/unvpp.h> file!
