Hello opendx-users!
It's a kind of newbie question, but anyway...
My grid is irregular. Data is cell-centered ("connection dependend" in
terms of DX). Grid consists of general cubes, i.e. it can be, for instance a
triangular prizm, when one face of the "cube" devolutes into edge.
Inspite of this devolution, I can decribe such a "cube" using eight
points(vertexes).
I have a data file organized in the following way. It's in coloumnar
style. It has two parts:
first part is the list of points ("positions"):
1 x1 y1 z1
2 x2 y2 z2
...
N xN yN zN
(x1, y2, z2 - stands for coordinates of i-th point, i=1:N)
and the second describes elements (or "connections"):
1 n1 n2 ... n8 b1 b2 ... b6
2 n1 n2 ... n8 b1 b2 ... b6
...
M n1 n2 ... n8 b1 b2 ... b6
(where n1, n2, ..., n8 stands for coordinates of j-th cube, b1, b2,
..., b6 stands for the number of elements border with j-th cube.
j=1:N).
The questions is: How can I import this data into DX easily? I've
already read Usersguide. There's an example 11 of Appendix E of importing data
on an
irregular grid, but it's too complicated for me. How can I extract
edges, faces and loops for each element from 2nd part of my file?
Shortly, how make DX show me *something* that looks like my grid????
I've tryed everything I could! Any suggestions is appreciated!
BTW Sorry for my English, it's not my native language :).
