MeshConvert is now NekMesh
Dear all, A quick note to let you know that as of the last commit to master (changeset cd796734), the MeshConvert executable is no more. In its place, you should instead use the NekMesh executable. The reason for this is that, thanks to the efforts of Michael Turner, MeshConvert has now evolved from a basic converter to something capable of generating 3D curvilinear meshes from CAD input. The decision was therefore made to change the name of MeshConvert to reflect this new functionality. The most important point is that your existing commands should continue to work exactly as before: just use the word NekMesh instead of MeshConvert. However, we would very much appreciate any feedback if you have issues with any of your existing meshes. There are two more important points for developers: * For any existing installations that are updated to the latest master, you will need to remove your builds directory to avoid issues with the MeshConvert placeholder. * For anyone using buildbot, *please merge master into your branch before running it*. Otherwise we will need to keep removing the builds directory on each of the slaves, which will inevitably increase build times. If you are interested in the mesh generation aspect of NekMesh, please get in touch with Michael (m.turner14@imperial.ac.uk). At this point, this is at an early beta-stage, so will require guidance until we can continue to make this aspect more automated.
