Importing Field Data from an Unsupported Solver

oSP3D supports numerous file formats. For a list of supported formats, see oSP3D File Format Specifications in the optiSLang 3D Post-Processing User's Guide.

To import multiple field designs at once:

  1. Select File > Process multiple designs > Import field designs.

  2. Supply oSP3D with:

    • The mesh for the connectivity description

    • An optional list of nodes and elements defining named selections

    • The actual field data associated to node or element identifiers

For more information, see Importing Multiple Field Designs in the optiSLang 3D Post-Processing User's Guide.

If your solver's native file format is unsupported, consider converting your files to a supported format or to text-based CSV files. Many solver programs support conversion to a solver format that oSP3D supports. oSP3D also supports multiple text-based formats for importing field data. For more information, see Importing Field Data from CSV Files in the optiSLang 3D Post-Processing User's Guide.

An example follows of a CSV file with field data.

#MyFieldData,MyOtherFieldData,MyThirdField
,,
1,0.1,314
5,0.1,-512

Note that to import multiple field designs at once, oSP3D requires the following folder structure: .
+-- Design0001  # reference design directory
|   +-- file1   # file containing field or mesh data
|   +-- file2
|   +-- ...
+-- Design0002
|   +-- file1
|   +-- file2
|   +-- ...
+-- Design0003
