Hi All,

I've been working with FEM and DAC file manipulation outside FEFLOW in order to help me with with some common tasks such as transfer heads from one simulation to initial heads of another and so on. However, I've been struggling a bit with the size and I/O speed of the files when they are saved in ASCII format.

Is there any place where I can find information about the binary formats?

Thanks in advance

Eduardo

No, the binary formats are not documented. For manipulating the files outside FEFLOW, you have to use the ASCII formats.

Thanks for the help Peter.

Regarding the binary files again, is there a specific reason why are they not documented?

Cheers,

Eduardo

There are two reasons:
1. The very limited number of people who would use such a documentation does not justify the required effort.
2. A documented format needs more effort to maintain, as internal changes are less easy to perform.
