GiD customization manual : List file format: ModelName.post.lst

New file *.post.lst can be read into GiD, postprocess. This file is automatically read when the user works in a GiD project and changes from pre to postprocess.
This file can also be read with File→Open


The file contains a list of the files to be read by the postprocess:

  • The first line should contain one of these words:
    • Single: just a single file ( two for ascii files: one for mesh and another for results) is provided to be read ( see Open  );
    • Merge: several filenames are provided, one filename per line, which are to be merged inside GiD, for instance when the files come from a domain decomposed simulation (see Merge... (only Postprocessing)  );

Example : Domain partition with a mesh constant along time.

Example : mesh refinement along time, where each step of the analysis has it's own mesh.

  • next lines: the mesh and results files to be read, with one filename per line;
  • following the postprocess mesh and result files, a list of graphs filenames can be provided so that GiD reads them too; graphs files have the extension .grf;
  • comment lines begin with the # character and blank lines are also admitted;
  • file names may have absolute path names or relative to the list file location;
