 '''Old formats:'''\\\\
 Beside the NetCDF format, 2d cross section data and 3d volume data can also be output, for historical reasons, in a different (binary) format using parameter [#data_output_format data_output_format].\\\\
-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 [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_FLD_COOR|PLOT3D_FLD_COOR]] to be appended to the file [[../iofiles#PLOT3D_FLD|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]].
