MoveMesh

Description

MoveMesh is a tool to translate a mesh according to a displacement vector. The displacement vector is defined via input parameters -x, -y, -z.

Usage

   MoveMesh  [-o <string>] [-z <floating point number>] 
             [-y <floating point number>] 
             [-x <floating point number>] 
             -m <string> [--] [--version] [-h]

Where: 

   -o <string>,  --output-mesh <string>
     output mesh file

   -z <floating point number>,  --z <floating point number>
     displacement in z direction

   -y <floating point number>,  --y <floating point number>
     displacement in y direction

   -x <floating point number>,  --x <floating point number>
     displacement in x direction

   -m <string>,  --mesh <string>
     (required)  input mesh file

   --,  --ignore_rest
     Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.

   --version
     Displays version information and exits.

   -h,  --help
     Displays usage information and exits.

Example:

Moving the mesh by the displacement vector v = (120,-250,485).

MoveMesh -m mesh.vtu -o mesh_moved.vtu -x 120 -y -250 -z 485
