Hi Brent, Thanks very much for you help. Since I record simulation data every 60 seconds over a 24 hour period this would create large amount of files. I was thinking that, somehow, one could import the file as general array format with sequencer stepping through each timestamp data. However, I am having difficulty trying to import it as General array format -- I don't know how to creat a header file to describe my datafile. Any examples of header file importing similar datafile would be most helpful. -- Sunil Nakrani
