Hi,
I have some data which is on a grid of cube shaped volume elements.
The grid is an 8x8 grid (64 elements), made-up of two layers of nodes
(9x9x2=162).
My problem is that DX by default numbers the nodes starting at 0-161,
whereas the application generating the data (LS-Dyna) numbers the nodes
1-162.
Therefore when I try to import the data (following the example on page 254
of the user's guide) I get the error:
Begin Execution
ERROR: Import: Invalid data: 573rd item in `connections' component (162) is
not between 0 and 161 / file 'd3plot.dx' line 14
My .dx file "d3plot.dx" is as follows:
object 1 class array type float rank 1 shape 3 items 162 lsb binary
data file d3plot, 260
attribute "dep" string "positions"
object 2 class array type int rank 1 shape 9 items 64 lsb binary
data file d3plot, 2204
attribute "element type" string "cubes"
attribute "ref" string "positions"
object 3 class array type float rank 0 items 162 lsb binary
data file d3plot, 4560
attribute "dep" string "positions"
object "irreg positions irreg connections binary file" class field
component "positions" value 1
component "connections" value 2
component "data" value 3
end
(forgive the wierd spacing, I have written a code to auto-generate the .dx
file for d3plots with different sized meshes, and I haven't bothered to
tweak the format statements yet)
Can I get DX to number it's nodes from 1-162 instead of 0-161? If not, is
there a way to get DX to subtract 1 from each of the numbers in the
connectivity list?
I am also open to other solutions.
If anyone would like to try things out on my binary file ("d3plot") ask me
and I'll e-mail it to you, I would attach it to this e-mail, however, it is
3.6 megabytes and I decided it would be poor form to send a large attachment
to a list.
Thank you very much
