SimModeler Fusion: Wall curve manipulation

Steps

For filenames and numbers, the following steps assume we have a copy of data/samples/D-g096333.03337/, with the only contents being an xgc_mesh_in file and input files (in this case g096333.03337).

• cd to the above directory and run SimModeler. Go to the Fusion tab.
• Hit XGC Setup and choose xgc Executable (location to xgc_meshgen) using the file dialog.
• Hit XGC Wall Edit and choose a new filename where the modified wall will go (e.g. wm_wallcurve.txt).
• This will bring up the original wall contour.
• Specify a range of contours in the available fields (e.g. Min 0.5, Max 1.2, Delta 0.1) and hit Update to show those contours.
• Any points on the wall can now be modified by clicking on them with the mouse, which brings up a plus sign, and dragging the sign. Click Update to redraw (after changing contours if needed).
• When done manipulating, click the XGC Wall Edit button to close it, and open XGC Input. Here select the eqdsk file and the wall file (wm_wallcurve.txt) used above. Hit Apply. Close the XGC Input popup when ready to view the geometric model and mesh on the changed wall.
• If anything fails, please clean out the directory of all but xgc_mesh_in and reactor input files, and redo from scratch.
• Please report problems and feedback to Simmetrix support.

Shortcomings

• Currently only existing points can be manipulated.
• Only dragging is supported.
