Importing 2D Grid Data Files

oSP3D can import CSV-formatted 2D grid data files. In addition to the specification requirements and limitations summarized in CSV Files, the CSV import interface adds these requirements:

  • No header line

  • 3 columns ( x, y, and z)

  • 2D grid is parametrized two axes in Cartesian x and y direction

  • Dimension of grid is auto-detected

Grid points are ordered as in the following example. First the x coordinates are changed while keeping y constant, and then y is increased.

-1.00;-1.00;2.00
0.00;-1.00;2.00
1.00;-1.00;2.00
-1.00;0.00;2.00
0.00;0.00;2.50
1.00;0.00;2.50
-1.00;1.00;2.00
0.00;1.00;2.50
1.00;1.00;2.50

In the above example, the rows are associated with the following grid indices:

0,0
1,0
2,0
0,1
1,1
2,1
0,2
1,2
2,2
