Read MoreGeneral What’s the largest mesh MOAB can read/write? We’ve read meshes of 128M tetrahedral elements and 256M hexahedral elements. For 64M tets, MOAB uses about 2.5GB of memory. MOAB also has a structured mesh representation, that requires about 57% less memory than the unstructured representation. Memory use does tend to vary depending on what you’re doing with the mesh, since...
Read More1. Current Error Handling Model of MOAB When some error occurs, an MOAB routine can return an enum type ErrorCode (defined in src/moab/Types.hpp) to its callers. To keep track of detail information about errors, a class Error (defined in src/moab/Error.hpp) is also used to store corresponding error messages. Usually, some locally defined macros (e.g. ERRORR in src/io/ReadNC.cpp) call...
Read MoreMemory Leak in ParallelComm Class Recently, an user raised a memory leak issue of ParallelComm class on exchanging tags, see exchange-tags-memory-leak. Original Example Test In original example test (see attached file mpitest1.cpp), the memory usage keeps increasing when exchange tags is called in a loop. This test depends on MOAB (the input mesh file is MeshFiles/unittest/64bricks_1khex.h5m) so...

Read MoreFor some geometries with complex boundaries and many geometry entities, ray-tracing can take too long time. By controlling some options related to geometry faceting process, we can improve the performance and investigate where the problem comes from. You may see a performance improvement if you set a maximum facet edge length. The dagmc_preproc tool can do this. It basically works like...
