SUTRA (Version 2.0 - 2.2) Data Requirements
Date requirements for visualizing SUTRA (Version 2D3D.1) results are as follows:
- Nodewise results must be saved in a "nod" file. For a 3D
mesh, the "nod" file must contain 4, 5 or 6 columns of data in the order
specified below. These columns are (See sample "nod" file.):
- x coordinate of node (required)
- y coordinate of node (required)
- z coordinate of node (required)
- pressure, concentration, temperature, or saturation
at node (required)
- pressure, concentration, temperature, or saturation
at node (optional)
- pressure, concentration, temperature, or saturation
at node (optional)
For a 2D mesh, the z coordinate is not needed.
- Elementwise results must be saved in an "ele" file.
For a 3D mesh,
the "ele" file must
contain 6
columns of data in the order specified below. These columns are (See sample "ele" file):
- x coordinate of element center
- y coordinate of element center
- z coordinate of element center
- x component of velocity at element center
- y component of velocity at element center
- z component of velocity at element center
For a 2D mesh, the z coordinate is not needed.
- The data for the "nod" and "ele" files must be saved at identical time steps.
