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

There are several ways to make this more efficient, including using binary
data and doing an initial Import of just the grid and have the subsequent
time steps just read in the data and Replace them, assuming the grid is
time invariant.
I will change the ascii into binary format; it used it in the beginning for
better 'understanding'.
Yes, my grid is time invariant, but how can I do an initial import of the grid
and afterwards of the data. I have to tell Import somehow that the first file
contains the grid information and the next just the corresponding data!? Can I
use to different Import; one for the locations and one for the 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!
