The MCF should include:
A header containing any number of lines. The number of lines in the header file is input in the property.
>A space or tab separated list of coordinates, with the first column representing the index variable (time or frequency) and the rest of the columns being the modal coordinates. If n is the number of modes:
If the MCF is indexed by time, modes are real and therefore there should be
n+1
columns in total (time column and 1 coordinate per mode and time step).If the MCF is indexed by frequency, modes are complex and therefore there should be
(2*n)+1
columns in total (frequency column and 2 coordinates per mode and frequency step, written in its real part and complex part format).
