User manual Version 9.3, Rev. 0, September 2008 Oasys D3PLOT 6.14.3 "Read from File" This method assumes that data in the appropriate format has been generated externally and saved in ascii format data files. Filename syntax A separate file is required for each state, and its name is determined from the "root" filename supplied. This must be of the form <name>nnn<.ext> <name> Is an arbitrary prefix nnn Is one or more digits. <.ext> Is an arbitrary extension Where: For example a valid filename might be"nodal_1.dat" (decomposes to <nodal_>, <1>, <.dat>) The actual number used in the "root" filename is not material, it must just be a digit from 0 - 9. For each state the digit <nnn> is replaced with the number of the state, so in the example above D3PLOT would look for the file sequence: nodal_1.dat for state #1, nodal_2.dat for state#2, and so on. The number nnn can have up to 10 leading zeros, so both nodal_1.dat and nodal_0001.dat would be acceptable filenames, and the number of leading zeros does not have to be the same for each state. If a file for a given state is not found then values of 0.0 will be used for that state. Page 6.165
