file_type

x3d

Writes a restart file that contains geometry and mesh object information. cmo_name can be -all- in which case all mesh objects are written to the file or it can specify a list of mesh objects to be written. The default is ascii.

A subsequent read / x3d command will restart the code at the state at which the dump command was issued.

gmv

Write a file to be read by the graphics program GMV. The defaults are binary and current mesh object.

avs

Output in AVS UCD (Unstructured Cell Data) format. One can turn on or off the output of node coordinates (iopt_points), element connectivity (iopt_elements) and node attributes (iopt_values). 1 (default) is on, 0 is off.

coord

Will output a file with node list x, y, z values and element connectivity list.

zone

Will output a set of 3 files.

file_name_material.zone is node list for each material (imt) value.

file_name_outside.zone is a node list for each of 6 (top , bottom, left, right, front, back) possible external boundaries for rectangular geometries.

Note that a node can belong to more than 1 list. For example a corner node can belong to both the front and the side.

chad

fehm

Will call the dump / coord and dump /zone options first. The main function is to form a sparse coefficient matrix used for solving PDE on a triangular or tetrahedral delaunay grid.

stl

Output in STL, stereo lithography format. This is only valid for triangular sheets.

geom

Will write an ascii file containing the geometry information for the current run. This information includes the region and mregion definitions and surface, names, types and definitions.

recolor

This command writes the existing colormap to the specified file. (See colormap command)

delatt | ascii | keepatt

Parameter only used with fehm file_type.

delatt

No new node attributes are created. Default.

ascii

Output sparse matrix as ASCII format

keepatt

Six node attributes are created (top, bottom, left_w, right_e,back_n, front_s) which are assigned values according to the direction of the octant of their normal vector.
