<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">Hi,<br>
first of all, I appreciate your answer.<br>
I think it would be useful to form a discussion forum (I suggest to
create a sub-forum of Paraview forum).<br>
But, by a practical point of view, I don't believe that a neutral
format can be a good idea: in fact, I would like to write only one
translator instead of two (ADINA to neutral and neutral to paraview):
for example</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Arial"> we could
use an ASCII file formatted using Ensight .case convections and, if </font></font><font
size="-1"><font face="Arial">in future we will want to add more
features to the original format, we will develop some extension to this
format.<br>
To begin, just a question: how can I found a description of Ensight
case files data formats?<br>
Thank you a lot<br>
Pi.Ci.<br>

Just to let you know: I format beam data (pipes) from the ABAQUS
results file so that ParaView visualizes them like "real" pipes. When I
saw your note I thought that one should form a group on the net and
discuss how to make an intemediate format. Then we users of (Adina,
Ansys, ABAQUS, ...) first write our data into this format, from which
we could then use one common translator into the ParaView formats.
<br>
<br>
E.g
<br>
NODE
<br>
n, x, y, z,
<br>
<br>
for beams
<br>
BEAM, ro,wt, 2node
<br>
n,i,j
<br>
<br>
<br>
DISP
<br>
n, ux,uy,uz,thetax,thetay,thetaz
<br>
<br>
<br>
..
<br>
<br>
It is easy to create such a file from any FEM code. And this format
would be simple to turn into the ParaView formats.
<br>
<br>

P.S. It is now nearly 30 years ago I used Adina, but as far as I
remember the portholes were just simple sequential files where one
could find this type of data. Is it not so?
