Output Files
Previous  Next

Concyl can save solution data to two types of output files: a solution summary file and a plot database file. The solution summary file has all the input and output in a tabular format suitable for printing or for inclusion into analysis reports.  The plot database is a tab delimited file with the first column being the list of radial values at which the solution quantities are saved.  The remaining columns each have a solution quantity.  The list of solution quantities that are available for plotting are listed in Table 5 below.

Solution Summary File
A typical solution summary file is shown below.  The file includes an echo of all the input data as well as several tables of the solution data.  The units for the solution data are consistent with the input data units.  The user must be careful to ensure that all the input parameters have consistent units.

Plot Database File
The plot database file format is shown below.  This file can be readily imported into plotting programs such as Excel, Mathcad, or Matlab.  The file is tab delimited with a header row that lists the solution quantity label for each column.  The number of rows is determined by the plot resolution parameter.  This parameter specifies the number of radial data points per cylinder.  So with a system of 4 cylinders, along with the default plot resolution of 10, the total number of data points (or rows) will be 40.
