Description

Segment files consist of any number of linear curves (Special topics, Segment file format). Each segmented curve consist of an ordered string of points. When imported into Fidelity Pointwise, each of these curves will appear as a faceted connector. In other words, a smooth connector will not be fitted through a segment's points automatically.

 

Tip: To get XYZ curve data into Fidelity Pointwise, consider putting the data in the Segment file format. The format is freely available in our File Formats Appendix (Special topics, Segment file format) and is an easy way to convert XYZ data into a format Fidelity Pointwise can read.
