Group, I'm trying to use the plasma simulation PIC-DSMC tool PICLas. That requires an input mesh with the program HOPR

hopr-project.org/

I'm having no luck formatting a shape (even a simple shape), that can run through HOPR. It would help immensely if I had some examples of what the input was looking for. For example, I tried generating a mesh in SALOME and exporting to CGNS (a simple sphere in 2D axial symmetry, picture of the mesh below)

But when I convert that using the same hopr.ini file supplied with PICLAS for a similar case (a 70 degree cone), I get:

Program abort caused in File : src/readin/readin_CGNS.f90 Line 132
This file was compiled at Oct 4 2022 16:38:00
Message: Base number 1 invalid
See Sphere1_2D_mesh_ERRORS.out for more details

STOP 1

If anyone has an example of a working simple 2D CGNS file I could use as a model, or otherwise can suggest a procedure, I would appreciate it.




I've attached the .ini and .cgns files renamed as .txt extension

Note that Sphere1_2D_mesh_ERRORS.out is an empty file, which is why I didn't also include it
