Hi,

sorry, its me again, but I'm still stuck with the initial grid Import for my
data :-(

I tried to convert my general-file to an dx-file which reads in the grid file
and a seperate data-file (later on I want to use seperate dx-files for the
data-files), but I'm totally lost...
So I thought about doing a initial import of the grid with the general-format
and use a second general-file just for the data. That is probably not possible,
isn't it? 
I would us the same construction like for my old general-file:

   file = /home/fab/HOME/Dissertation/simulation_calc/16/OpenDX/tec3D_sum.dat
   grid = 82 x 50 x 66
   format = ascii
   interleaving = field
   majority = column
   field = locations, uvw, p 
   structure = 3-vector, 3-vector, scalar 
   type = float, float, float
   
   end

For the grid-data my general-file would look like this:

   file = grid.dat
   grid = 82 x 50 x 66
   format = ascii
   interleaving = field
   majority = column
   field = locations
   structure = 3-vector
   type = float
   
   end

which should work with Import, but I still struggle connecting the data to this
grid. Somehow I should be able to connect the data-general-file:

   file = data1.dat
   grid = 82 x 50 x 66
   format = ascii
   interleaving = field
   majority = column
   field = uvw, p 
   structure = 3-vector, scalar 
   type = float, float, float
   
   end

to the above grid. Is there any module which is doing that? Then I would use
the Sequencer to change the data-file in the second Import.


Best Greetings!
