[GiDlist] Re: .lin file format

Post by Henry Liu »

Hi, everyone

I get a question regarding file format. The file
(example.lin) is generated by assigning "conditions"
and "materials" on a 3D mesh and then the mesh is
exported as an ASCII GiD project. This above file is
one of them in the example.gid folder. I read the
online user manual and its format is not explained. So
could someone give a clear explaination on its format
and its relationship with other files in that folder?

Thanks in advance

Henry

The *.lin file contain the values of the conditions and pointers to then
assigned entities.
This applied conditions are separated of the geometry definition *.geo file.
The format of the *.lin file is undocummented (by default is binary, but
exporting as an ASCII project it is written in ASCII mode).

Are you really interested to directly write this applied conditions file?
If you want only to read this information, it's best to write a template
file *.bas to extract the
desired information in your required format.
