Analysis Control Data

Individual header descriptions have been moved to the new manual. Only overviews and data definition examples are provided here.

Outline of Analysis Control Data

In FrontISTR, an analysis control data file is input to acquire the computing control data, solver control data and post process (visualization) control data as shown in the following figure, in order to implement the analytical calculations.

The features of the analysis control data file are as follows.

This is an ASCII format file based on a free format.
This file consists of a header which starts with "!" and the data following this.
The order of description of the header is basically free.
A "," is used as a punctuation mark of the data.
The inside of the file is briefly divided into three zones.
"!END" is input at the end of the file for completion.

Input Rules

The analysis control data consists of a header line, data line and a comment line.

One header is always included in the header line.

Header: The header specifies the meaning of the data and the data block in the analysis control data. When the head of the term starts with a "!", it is considered to be a header.
Header Line: The header and the parameter accompanying this are described in this line.; The header line must start with a header. When a parameter is required, a "," must be used to continue after that. When the parameter takes on a value, use an "=" after the parameter and describe the value after that.; The header line can not be described in more than two lines.
Data Line: The data line starts after the header line, and the necessary data is described.; The data lines may be in multiple lines; however, this is determined according to the rules of the data description defined by each header.; There are cases where data lines are not required.
Punctuation: A comma "," is used as a punctuation of the data.
Handling of Blanks: Blanks are disregarded.
Name: Regarding the characters which can be used for the name, there is the underscore "_", hyphen "-", and alphanumeric characters "a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9"; however, the first letter of the name must start with "_", or an alphabetic character "a - z, A - Z". There is no distinction between uppercase and lowercase letters, and all letters are internally handled as uppercase letters.; The maximum length of the name is 63 characters.
File Name: Regarding the characters which can be used for the file name, there are the underscore "_", hyphen "-", period ".", slash "/", and the alphanumeric characters "a - z, A - Z, 0 - 9".; As long as there is no specific description, a path can be included in the file name. Both the relative path and the absolute path can be specified.; The maximum length of the file name is 1,023 characters.
Floating Point Data: Exponents are optional. An "E" or "e" character must be added before the exponent. The selection of "E" or "e" is optional.
!!, #, Comment Line: Lines starting with "!!" or "#" are considered to be comment lines, and are disregarded. A comment line can be inserted in any position in the file, and there are no restrictions on the number of lines.
!END: End of mesh data; When this header is displayed, the reading of the mesh data is completed.

Header List of Computing Control Data

In FrontISTR, the following items can be mentioned as the boundary conditions which can be used for the computing control data.

Distributed load conditions (body force, pressure loading, gravity, centrifugal force)
Concentrated load conditions
Heat load
Single point restriction conditions (SPC conditions)
Spring boundary conditions

Post Process (Visualization) Control Data

An example of the post process (visualization) control data and the contents are shown in the following.

Example of Visualization Control Data

Each description number (P1-0, P1-1, etc.) is linked to the number of the detailed descriptions in the following.

P1-○ expresses the common data, and P2-○ expresses the parameter for the purpose of the rendering.
In addition, the rendering will become valid only when the output_type=BMP.
When the surface_style is !surface_style = 2 (isosurface) !surface_style = 3 (user specified curved surface), a separate setting is required. The data is indicated collectively after the common data.
(P3-○ is a description of the isosurface in !surface_style = 2. P4-○ is a description of the user specified curved surface in !surface_style = 3.)
The items indicated with two ! like "!!", will be recognized as a comment and will not affect the analysis.
