The msh2rdm6.pl script creates a .por file from a .pos or a .msh file.
The .por file is the native format for the software RDM6 (http://iut.univ-lemans.fr/ydlogi/rdm_version_6.html) which is useful for classical structures with tubes for instance.
The .pos or .msh files are gmsh formats.
The conversion is partial and is only devoted to:
- the set of nodes
- the set of bars (or tubes)
- the set of nodal forces of loading.
The remaining data (section of the tubes, materials, boundary conditions etc. ) of the created .por, are arbitrarily selected in order to produce a valid file .por.
The nodal forces must be included in the .pos in the form of vector in a record between $NodeData and $EndNodeData.
The msh2rdm6.pl is an adaptation of the msh2her.pl script.
