Cannot export all sidesets

Coreform Cubit Importing/Exporting

Dear all,

I have a simple journal file in which I have both surface and curve sidesets:

brick x 10 y 10 z 5
volume 1 scheme auto
mesh volume 1
save trelis “/home/hgharti/meshes/postearthquake/test.trelis” overwrite journal
set duplicate block elements off
block 1 add volume 1
sideset 1 add surface 1
sideset 2 add curve 4 wrt surface 1
save trelis “/home/hgharti/meshes/postearthquake/test.trelis” overwrite journal
set exodus netcdf4 off
set large exodus file on
export mesh “test.e” overwrite

But trelis cannot export sideset 2. Is there anything wrong with my journal file?

I would be grateful for your suggestion.

Thanks,
HNG

I think you need to have a block that contains elements, where the sides of those elements could be edges on the curves you put into the sideset.

reset
brick x 1
mesh vol 1
block 1 volume 1
sideset 1 surface 1
sideset 2 curve 1
export mesh ‘junk.g’ #curve sideset (2) will NOT get exported

reset
brick x 1
mesh vol 1
block 1 volume 1
sideset 1 surface 1
block 2 surface 1 #sides of these elements can now be referenced in a sideset
block 2 element type quad
sideset 2 curve 1
export mesh ‘junk2.g’ #curve sideset should get exported

Thanks a lot! That works perfectly.
