stretched grid
Hello people! I have a slight and tiny problem... I would like to load my stretched grid into VAPOR - so what I do is: - I create coordinate files which I name x.txt, y.txt and z.txt and which consist of x1[tab]x2[tab]x3[tab]etc. - then I want to create the vdf-file and type something like: vdfcreate -dimension 400x400x50 -numts 140 -deltat 2 -gridtype stretched -xcoords -ycoords -zcoords -vars3d uinterp:vinterp:winterp allVDF.vdf - I get an error message: vdfcreate : Error opening file uinterp:vinterp:winterp What's going wrong here? This vdfcreate -dimension 400x400x50 -numts 140 -deltat 2 -gridtype stretched -vars3d uinterp:vinterp:winterp allVDF.vdf works fine... Thanks in advance, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

 

You need to specify the names of the ascii files containing your grid coordinates to vdfcreate. If you're files are named x.txt, y.txt, and z.txt respectively, then the command would be:

vdfcreate -dimension 400x400x50 -numts 140 -deltat 2 -gridtype stretched -xcoords x.txt  -ycoords y.txt -zcoords z.txt -vars3d uinterp:vinterp:winterp allVDF.vdf

 

Hope this helps.

cheers - jc
