Hi,
I am running OpenDX 4.1.3 on Linux RedHat 7.2
I am attempting to import some sample data from
http://www.nas.nasa.gov/Research/Datasets/Hung/index.shtml
It is in plot3d format with only a grid and solution file.
I have compiled the Plot3DtoDX.c utility but could not figure out what
flags I needed to process the file.
The readme says
Plot3DtoDX xyzfile qfile ffile dimensions mgrid iblank binary
leadtrail
I only have blunt.x and blunt.q (I know it is a 3dimensional file from
the documentation on the URL), so I tried the following
Plot3DtoDX -xyz blunt.x -q blunt.q -dim 3
It just hangs after printing out some diagnostics.
On the above site it says.
"The data are in plot3d, single-zone, binary. All floating point
data are in 32-bit IEEE format, SGI endian."
Could the endian thing be the problem ?
Is it because plot3d is not like NetCDF/HDF which are portable
crossplatform representation of floating point number.
Do I need an SGI machine to read the Plot3D data from NASA ?
Cheers
