Hi foamers,

Just enjoying some MPPICFoam and I noticed something strange:

- OF-v1806 gives particle position in "positions" file and a clunky "coordinates" one:


"positions":
876773
(
(5.0781 0.01828 0.0873415) 47773

(5.4884 0.0142133 0.171665) 16348

...
"Coordinates":
876773
(
(0.12139 0.513193 0.340113 0.0253037) 47773 12036 1
(0.0700645 0.271816 0.43556 0.222559) 16348 43316 1


...
- OF6 runs as well, but removes "Positions" and renames "Coordinates->Positions", so basically, I cannot simply extract position values anymore (which is handy to display density with a custom C routine)


What the heck are those "4 values" coordinates ?
What is their meaning and how do I read them ?





Cheers
