Faces are missing from ansys msh file

scdivi opened this issue · 1 comments

Dear developers,

I am trying to write an ansys suitable msh file using meshio given nodes and connectivity (see example). I could supply points and cells as arguments to mesh.write. This way, I cannot write faces. But according to mesh file format of ansys msh (https://romeo.univ-reims.fr/documents/fluent/tgrid/ug/appb.pdf), faces (indexed as 13) are required. How do I make sure that the faces can be written? Shouldn't there be an additional argument for faces if it is required according to mesh file format?

Example:

msh = meshio.Mesh(nodes, connectivity)
msh.write('sample.msh', file_format="ansys")

faces (indexed as 13) are required
yes, no "faces" can not open by Fluent. #1339
