How to read nodeset from the file?

[avtarsinghh1991]

Hello MOOSE Experts

I want to know if there is any way to read the NODESETS from the file different from the mesh input file.

Lets say I have 4 files, for which I want to generate 4 NODESETS means each nodeset for each file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

You can read 4 mesh files and then stitch them or just combine them if they are separate.
You cant read most of the mesh from one file and the nodesets from another currently.

But you could also implement a mesh generator that does that, it's not very hard.

then why dont you include the nodesets in the .msh file?

Thanks Guillaume.

Yes, I can do that. I only thing is that I am still figuring out the syntax to add the nodesets in .msh file. However, thanks for your suggestions.

Sounds good. If you find it easier to add a side set in gmsh you can have moose convert a side set to a node set. But I suspect node set is easier in gmsh

@GiudGiud

Can I provide two files i.e., .msh and .geo to MOOSE for mesh data and nodeset data?

not for the same parts of the domain currently.
