Importing 3D Grid Data Files

oSP3D can import CSV-formatted 3D 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)

  • 3D grid is parametrized by three axes in Cartesian x, y, and z direction

  • Dimension of the grid is auto-detected

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