Hi,

Anybody know how to read in a Plot3D binary grid and solution files? Thanks.

(1). You don't need to know how to read in binary files, because it is binary not ASCII. (2). What you need is the PLOT3D file I/O format. I don't have the format with me, even though I have used it. (3). Try mesh generation code vendors, or NASA/Ames. They should be able to give you the up-to-date answer.

Hi,

Well Well, the plot3d file format has been used in many different codes and is one of most used file format for post-processing etc.

Here are two link for some info:

Hope this helps.

(1). Very good. I think, that's the information one will need to read the Plot3D files. One is the grid file, and the other is the Q-file. (2). Thank you very much for the website information.
