| 105 | | By assigning '''data_output_format''' = '' 'avs' '', the 3d volume data is output to the local file [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_DATA|PLOT3D_DATA]]. Output is in FORTRAN binary format readable by the plot software '''AVS'''. The order of data on the file follows the order used in the assignment for '''data_output''' (e.g. '''data_output''' = '' 'p', 'v',...'' means that the file starts with the pressure data, followed by the v-component of the velocity, etc.). Both instantaneous and time averaged data are written on this file! Additional to this file, PALM creates a second binary file (local name [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_COOR|PLOT3D_COOR]]) with coordinate information needed by '''AVS'''. As third and fourth file two ASCII files are created (AVS-FLD-format, local name [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_FLD|PLOT3D_FLD]] and [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_FLD_COOR|PLOT3D_FLD_COOR]]), which describe the contents of the data file and/or coordinate file and are used by '''AVS'''. However, '''AVS''' expects the content description in one file. This needs the local file PLOT3D_FLD_COOR to be appended to the file PLOT3D_FLD (by suitable OUTPUT command in the '''mrun''' configuration file: {{{“cat PLOT3D_FLD_COOR >> PLOT3D_FLD”}}}) after PALM has finished. To reduce the amount of data, output to this file can be done in compressed form (see [#do3d_compress do3d_compress]). Further details about plotting 3d volume data with '''AVS''' can be found in chapter [[4.5.5]].\\\\ |
