Table Data

Table Data

The first column is read in as X coordinate values and the all the columns after that are read in as data values.
Example
0.0 10.5 4.8
1.0 12.6 3.2
3.0 14.1 5.5
6.0 13.9 6.4
7.0 11.3 8.3
9.0 15.0 4.4

When this kind of file(test.mtb) is read in, the first column is read in as X coordinates, the second column is read in as the first data component and the third column is read in as the second data component.


However, only data that can be distributed on a line (1-dimensional X space data ) can be described in this manner. But, it is possible with some effort to read in the following 3 types of data:

- 1-dimensional XY space N component data (Scatter data distributed on a 2-D plan e)

- 1-dimensional XYZ space N component data(Scatter data distributed in 3-D space)

- 2-dimensional orthogonal lattice 1 component data

For this, the filter

<directory in which MicroAVS is installed>/BIN/MTB2FLD.EXE
is used.
The ASCII text is first converted to a structured cell data file (AVS field file ) and this converted file is then read into MicroAVS.


How to use MTB2FLD.EXE:

MTB2FLD.EXE  -in  (input filename)  [-x | -xy | -xyz | -mesh]  > (output filename)

(Input filename) - an input file name is specfied

[-x|-xy|-xyz|-mesh] - depending on the type of data to be converted, one of the following 4 options is selected.

-x ------ 1-dimensional X space N component data (Scatter data that can be distributed on a line)

-xy ----- 1-dimensional XYZ space N component data (scatter data that can be distributed on a 2D plane)

-xyz ---- 1-dimensional XYZ space N component data (scatter data that can be distributed in 3D space)

-mesh -- 2-dimensional orthogonal lattice 1 component data

(Output filename) - The output file name is specified with the .FLD extension.
