Sandia Cubit 17.04, cannot install plugin

[etmowery]

Hi all,

I have access to the Sandia version of Cubit and have attempted installing the latest Windows version of the Cubit plugin manually without success. Is there a version compatible with the Sandia version of Cubit? It appears a similar question was asked a few years back without a firm answer.

Alternatively, is there a workaround for the export step? I have tried using mbconvert to convert .cub files to .h5m files that are otherwise complete: meshed, tagged, and with defined boundary conditions on surfaces. I run into errors when trying to use these files with OpenMC (Failed to build/join/construct obb trees) but figured this was probably an issue with how I meshed the simple pin cell CAD file I was testing. I'd be open to using python codes as well, given that they are suited for use with OpenMC and can handle relatively complex models.

Let me know if it is known that Sandia Cubit is not compatible with the DAGMC plugin, or if any workarounds are viable.

Much appreciated!

Unfortunately, we have not continued support for Sandia Cubit since we handed over support for the DAGMC exporter to Coreform who have integrated it as a first-class capability in their version of Cubit. I recommend reaching out to contacts at both Sandia and Coreform to see if they could translate Coreform's support into Sandia Cubit. Sorry.

Thank you for confirming this. I've reached out to Sandia, but for now, are you aware of any legacy versions of Sandia's cubit that have legacy support for manual install of the plugin?
Appreciate it.

The last time we were exploring this was about 2022, I believe. We did prepare this summary, where it seemed that a version of the plugin would work on Sandia Cubit 15.8.

Incredible, thank you so much. I'll try it this afternoon.
