DESCRIPTION

This menu allows to specify the pathname of the file(s) containing the velocity field on which trajectories will be computed. OPTIONS

      Steady-state flow

 
-1 
 Upper level menu 
Accepts the current setup
 Enter the name of the result file
Accepts the current setup
 Enter the time of use 
Accepts the current setup
 This file is not formatted
Switches to non formatted result file
3' This file is formatted
Switches to  formatted result file
      Time dependent  flow

            Automatic selection of result files

 
-1 
 Upper level menu 
Accepts the current setup
 Piecewise steady flow
This option means that there will not be any interpolation between the different velocity fields. Each velocity field will be used as it is for the specified time step. 
 Continuous transient flow
This option means that polyflow will perform an  interpolation to calculate the velocity profile at a given time.
 Automatic selection of result files
This option means that, given the time step (constant), the prefix and format of the Polyflow result files, the index of the first result file i and the number of result files n , polyflow will automatically load a series of files named ,prefix.i, ... prefix.n, prefix.1,...prefix.i-1 in a continuous loop as long as the maximum lifetime is not reached. 
4 Manual selection of result files
Switches to  manual selection of result files.
5 Modify the time step
Allows to specify the time step between two successive result files
6 Modify the prefix of the result files
Allows to specify the prefix on which filenames will be built
7 Modify the number of result files
Allows to specify the number n of different result files
8 Modify the first result file id
Allows to specify the index i of the first result file to be loaded
9 Modify the format of results files
Allows to choose between formatted and unformatted result files
# Modify the list of result files
Not available in automatic selection mode

Allows to give a list of result files, their names being arbitrary.

Option 10 of the  menu here above gives access to the following :
 
-1 
 Upper level menu 
Accepts the current list of result files
 Add a velocity field
Allows to add a new result files to the current list
 Remove a velocity field
Allows to remove a new result files to the current list
 Modify the attributes of a velocity field
Allows to change time of use, filename and format attributes of a result file
4 Change the order of use of the velocity fields
Allows to change the order of the current list

Option 1 and 3 of the  menu here above gives access to the following :
 
-1 
 Upper level menu 
Accepts the current list of result files
 Enter the name of the result file
Allows to add a new result files to the current list
 Enter the time of use
Allows to remove a new result files to the current list
 This file is not formatted
