\chapter{The Output \exo{} Database} \label{chap:outexo}
|
|
|
|
The \exo{} database documentation can be accessed at
|
|
\url{http://sandialabs.github.io/seacas/exodusII-new.pdf}. It contains
|
|
a full detailed description of \exo{}. This section presents an
|
|
overview of the concepts and structure of an \exo{} database. The
|
|
first part of the \exo{} database consists of the mesh
|
|
description which includes the nodal coordinates, the
|
|
element block information (including the element connectivity), the
|
|
node sets, and the side sets. The second part of the database contains
|
|
the time step information, including all the variable values for each
|
|
time step.
|
|
|
|
If nodes and/or elements have been deleted from the database with a
|
|
\cmd{ZOOM}, \cmd{FILTER}, or \cmd{VISIBLE} command, the entire output
|
|
database reflects the deletions and any node or element renumbering
|
|
caused by the deletions.
|
|
|
|
The output database mesh description is copied (with changes for
|
|
deletions) from the input database. The database title may be changed
|
|
with the \cmd{TITLE} command.
|
|
|
|
All QA records from the input database are copied to the output
|
|
database, and a record is added describing the current \caps{\PROGRAM}
|
|
run. All input database informational records are copied to the output
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
All names on the output database are in uppercase and have all embedded
|
|
blanks removed. The coordinate and element block names from the input
|
|
database are converted and copied (with changes for deletions) to the
|
|
output database. The output variable names are assigned in the
|
|
equations.
|
|
|
|
The output database element variable truth table has an entry for each
|
|
output element variable which indicates whether the variable is defined
|
|
for each element block. This is determined by the input element variable
|
|
truth table, the equations, and the \cmd{BLOCKS} command.
|
|
|
|
The output time steps include the time step times and the output
|
|
variables for each time step. Each selected input time step is
|
|
processed; non-selected time steps are ignored. For
|
|
each time step, all variables are evaluated and written to the
|
|
output database.
