Description
When exporting to UGRID, the
Set Solver Attributes panel provides a setting for specifying
the extension type. Select
Detailed to have the extension reflect the
endianness of the host machine. Select
Simple to
export using the *.ugrid extension.
Detailed is the default selection.
The extension type can be specified for UGRID solver export.
The Extension Type setting is used in combination with the options in the File Format and
Byte Order frames in the UGRID CAE Export
panel to determine the appropriate extension for the exported file. The table below shows the
file extensions used for the Binary and Unformatted file format options.
Exporting using the ASCII format uses the simple *.ugrid extension.
| File Format |
Big Endian |
Little Endian |
| Binary |
*.b8.ugrid |
*.lb8.ugrid |
| Unformatted |
*.r8.ugrid |
*.lr8.ugrid |
Tip: If you need to export a file using the opposite endianness
of the host machine, you can use the Swap Bytes option in the Byte Order
frame during export. For more information, see
File, Export, CAE.
