Summary
This filter will convert a pair of triangle and nodes files commonly used by
CMU in their GBCD studies and output a VTK PolyData File in either ASCII or
Binary format. Note if the file is in Binary that the binary portions are written
in Big Endian format as specified by the vtk file format.
The nodes file format is as follows:
- first line = number of nodes
- column 1 = node id, starts from zero.
- column 2 = node type,
2 = on the grain boundary
3 = on the triple line,
4 = quadruple point or on quadruple line if 10 is added, eg 12, 13, and 14,
then they are on the surface of microstructure.
- For the nodes on surfaces of microstructure, negative wrapper spins are treated as neighboring grains.
12 = on the grain boundary trace area at the surface of microstructure
13 = on the grain boundary trace line
14 = on the triple point, and so on
- column 3 to 5 = coordinates of nodes, x, y, and z
The triangles file format is as follows:
- first line = number of triangles
- column 1 = triangle id, starts from zero
- column 2 to 4 = node1, node2 and node3 of individual triangles
- column 5 to 7 = edge1 (from node1 and node2),
edge2 (from node2 and node3) and
edge3 (from node3 and node1) of individual triangle
- column 8 and 9 = neighboring spins of individual triangles, column 8 = spins on the left side when following winding order using right hand.
If the user selects to disable the Conformal Mesh option then 2
triangles will be written to the file and the scalar data will have 2 entries for
the grain id one for each grain that the triangle borders.
