Subject: MODMESH, DETATCH
Author: Ed Brown ed@

I recently used modmesh,detatch in the following manner:

load step options, bc's, etc.
lswrite,1
save
fini
/prep7
modmesh,detatch
fini
/solu
lssolve,1
fini
/exit,nosave

I will resume from the saved database and read the results into it so
I can use geometry selection in the post-processing phase.

The reason I did this is that I have a fairly big model with 6
different parts held together with contact and couples. Each part was
meshed separately and then assembled together using cdwrite/cdread.
One of the parts has some problem with lines being meshed but having
unmeshed keypoints. This gives errors and prevents solutions.

The "right" way to correct this is to resume from each of my
individual parts and chase down the bad geometry and see if I can heal
it. And then reassemble the model. But I am in a rush.

Anyone see any flaw with using the modmesh as I have done it?
