Syntax:
remove_surf surfID
Examples:
remove_surf topsurf
Description:
Remove a group of surface elements that have previously been read-in via the read_surf command. The group surf or read_surf can be used to assign each surface element to one or more groups. This command removes all surface elements in the specified surfID group.
Note that the remaining surface elements must still constitute a "watertight" surface or an error will be generated. The definition of watertight is explained in the Restrictions section of the read_surf doc page.
After surface elements have been deleted the IDs of the remaining surface points and elements are renumbered so that the remaining N elements have IDs from 1 to N. The new list of surface elements can be output via the write_surf or dump surf commands.
Styles with a kk suffix are functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware, as discussed in the Accelerating SPARTA section of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the same results, except for different random number, round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the KOKKOS package. They are only enabled if SPARTA was built with that package. See the Making SPARTA section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script by including their suffix, or you can use the -suffix command-line switch when you invoke SPARTA, or you can use the suffix command in your input script.
See the Accelerating SPARTA section of the manual for more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
