identifier : Unique name for the step.
GF Filename : Path of the .geof file to be read.
Ensemble Filename [Optional]: Path of the .ens to be read.
Mesh Filename [Optional] : Path of the .mesh to be read.
Path [Optional]: Path prefix of the files to be read.

Usage

This step is used to read a Fieldwork mesh from file. A Fieldwork mesh is a piece-wise parametric mesh composed of an ensemble of elements interpolated by Lagrange polynomials controlled by the coordinates of nodes within each element. The key pieces of information of a mesh are its nodal coordinates which define the meshes geometry, the type of Lagrange polynomials used to interpolate each element, and the connectivity and shapes of the element. As such, a Fieldwork model is read from 3 files:

.geof : a GeometricField file that contains the nodal coordinates, and therefore the geometry of the mesh;
.ens : an Ensemble file that contains information about the polynomial functions of the mesh's elements.;
.mesh : a Mesh file that contains the connectivity of mesh elements and the shape of each element.
