File I/O Options
V2K deals exclusively with mesh files and perhaps an associated
neutral map file if such
is available, thus file I/O options are few and limited to import/export of the mesh
and its associated neutral map file. A file dialog
is furnished to perform all I/O.
Supported file types are summarized in the table below.
Supported File Types
| File Type |
Acceptable Formats |
Definition |
| Plot3D |
ASCII or binary or unformatted |
Volume mesh in Plot3D multi-block format |
| Gridgen |
ASCII or binary or unformatted |
Volume mesh in GridGen multi-block format |
| TOG Neutral |
ASCII |
A description of block-to-block interface locations, singularity locations, patched interface locations
and flow field boundary condition placement |
Plot3D
Volume meshes in standard multi-block Plot3D format can be imported and exported
in any of three formats written in either single or double precision.
Gridgen
This file type accepts volumetric meshes in
GridGen format
in any of three data formats written in either single or double precision.
TOG Neutral
The TOG Neutral file type represents the neutral map file.
This is a generically formatted summary of topological features of the mesh and flow field
boundary condition assignments. V2K not only reads and writes this data but facilities are
provided to generate it as well.
