I'm new to OpenDX and am trying to learn the dx file format. I have my
data in a binary file named BEM.dx.bin and a header file named BEM.dx
(attached to the end of this message). I'm trying to import a wing
object which is a group of two fields: (i) body, (ii) wake. Each field is
a surface grid with cell-centered data. In the header file, I define
objects 1,2,3 and 4,5,6 as the components of the Body and Wake fields.
The Problem: When I import the variable "body", it works fine and I can
render the image. However, when I try to import either "wake" or "wing",
I get the error
ERROR: Import: Invalid data: no objects matched variable list
If I alter the header file to make objects 4,5,6, and "wake" to appear
first before the body-related objects, then I can successfully import the
wake. If I try the same for the wing group, then I get an Import error
saying "bad or missing member object / file".
Can someone help me by pointing out what I'm doing wrong? I'm using
OpenDX v.4.1 on Linux 2.0.36 Debian (potato dist.).
Thanks for your help,
