**renumbering
#
Description#
This command renumbers the mesh so that the global matrix front or bandwidth will be reduced. The algorithm is a modified Sloan renumbering scheme. The renumbering by this command is not especially fast, and cannot directly handle disconnected mesh regions. In order to renumber across contact or MPC linked regions, use the **make_springs command.
Note
It is advisable to do this operation as the last mesher command before saving the mesh. Alternately on UNIX platforms the Zrenum
command can be used.
Note
The sparse matrix solvers should employ the metis renumbering, or use built-in renumbering if available for the solver used.
