Table Data

The first column is read in as X coordinates, the second column is read in as the first data component and the third column is read in as the second data component.
Only data that can be distributed on a line (1-dimensional X space scalar data) can be described in this manner.

It is possible to read in the following types of data. But,you need to change the contents of$XP_PATH<0>/runtime/ MicroAVS/reader.db file.

1-dimensional XY space N component data
(Scatter data distributed on a 2-D plane)

The first column is read in as X coordinate data, the second column is read in Y coordinate data and the rest of the columns are read in as data components.
In the reader.db File,
external field MTB "mtb2fld -x -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"
changes to
external field MTB "mtb2fld -xy -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"

1-dimensional XYZ space N component data
(Scatter data distributed in 3-D space)

The first column is read in as X coordinate data, the second column is read in Y coordinate data, the third column is read in as Z coordinate data and the rest of the columns are read in as data components.
In the reader.db file,
external field MTB "mtb2fld -x -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"
changes to
external field MTB "mtb2fld -xyz -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"

2-dimensional orthogonal lattice scalar data

The horizontal direction is read in as the first dimension of the 2D data and th e vertical direction is read in as the second dimension of the 2D data. If the n umber of columns is m and the number of rows is n then the data is in the form o f a 2-dimensional array data[n][m]. In the reader.db file,
external field MTB "mtb2fld -x -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"
changes to
external field MTB "mtb2fld -mesh -in % " "MTB2FLD.HLP" "Table Data"
