UG_IO SimSys 2D Node, Grid, and Function File Types
File Type Suffix and Description ________________________________________________________________________________ .snode2d -------- SNODE 2D source node data file. An SNODE file contains a list of node coordinates and spacing function. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. .mnode2d -------- MNODE 2D metric source node data file. A MNODE file contains a list of node coordinates and symmetric metric. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. .bedge ------ BEDGE 2D B-Edge Grid File. A BEDGE file contains a boundary edge grid. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. This file type may only be used for input files. .fgrid ------ FGRID 2D unstructured grid file. An FGRID file contains a boundary edge grid and (optionally) a tria face planar grid. The FGRID 2D file type is derived from the 3D FGRID file type. Differences include additional boundary edge grid data, no volume elements, and all z-coordinates are zero. .mesh ----- MESH 2D unstructured grid file. A MESH file contains a boundary edge grid and (optionally) a tria/quad face planar grid. This file type is supported by the Gamma Project of INRIA. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. .meshb ------ Binary MESH 2D unstructured grid file. A MESH file contains a boundary edge grid and (optionally) a tria/quad face planar grid. This file type is supported by the Gamma Project of INRIA. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. .ugrid ------ UGRID 2D Unstructured Grid File. A UGRID file contains a boundary edge grid and (optionally) a mixed tria/quad face planar grid. The UGRID 2D file type is derived from the 3D UGRID file type. Differences include additional boundary edge grid data, no volume elements, and all z-coordinates are zero. .ufunc ------ UFUNC 2D function file. A UFUNC file contains field function data (scalar and/or vector). This file type can use socket or TMP file mode if a C binary double file format is also used. .sfunc ------ SFUNC 2D function file. An SFUNC file contains field function data (scalar, vector, matrix, and/or symmetric metric). This file type can use socket or TMP file mode if a C binary double file format is also used. .sol ---- MESH SOL 2D unstructured function file. A MESH SOL file contains field function data (scalar, vector, matrix, and/or symmetric metric). This file type is supported by the Gamma Project of INRIA. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable. .solb ----- Binary MESH SOL 2D unstructured function file. A MESH SOL file contains field function data (scalar, vector, matrix, and/or symmetric metric). This file type is supported by the Gamma Project of INRIA. This file type uses a fixed file format and the [.format] File Format Suffix is not applicable.
