Extracting Data for External Codes
Several of the output format options (ouform) in POSTFLOW create files intended
for use with third-party codes or provided post-processing utilities. In these cases,
options are hardwired to the values required by the particular third party software.
Extraction for Moment
As of release version 3.05, POSTFLOW can directly compute moments or moment
coefficients. However, the Moment utility, provided as part of the DPLR Code
Package, can also do this computation. Moment requires plot3d grid and function
files along with an input “moment.inp” file to be created by POSTFLOW (See
Section 9.1.6).
To tell POSTFLOW to create these files:
•
•
•
•
set ouform=11
set interp=11
set ivarp to either total forces (604:606), pressure forces (614:616), or viscous
forces (624:626)
set output datasets to define surfaces either with iexbc or ifac
At the current time the only function of Moment that is not built into POSTFLOW is
for the extraction of hinge moments.
Extraction for RADEQUIL
To tell POSTFLOW to output a line-of-sight file for further processing with the shock
layer radiation code RADEQUIL, set ouform=28.
POSTFLOW will then automatically assume the following (hardwired) settings:
interp = 1
ivarp = 11 12 13 110 120 125 1600
The output will be an ASCII format file with the suffix “.los”.
