What does the "data" option do when using Join? (Flow Materials)

Hi,

In FEFLOW 5.4, when you assign conductivity values, there is an option to do this by using "Join".  This method further has the option use "Const" or "Data".  "Const" I have figures out (e.g. use a shape file as database), but what does the option "Data" do?  Any suggestions to where I can read about this?

Cheers, Lars

"data" does the same thing it does in other cases: it allows interpolation within an area, along a line, etc.  The regionalization menu should appear when you select data.

Ah, well: The interpolation menu does not show up.  Actually, nothing happens what I chose "data" and some date file.  Must be some bug.

Thanks for the answer.

Join with the data option provides the possibility to do an interpolation within a polygon or along a line. From what we know this should work well.

Thanks, but it does not on my installation.  At the present time, I do not have a need for it, so I will not investigate it further.

Cheers, Lars

actually 5.4 does allow it
