dat2solb

Convert between Binary SU2 restart files and INRIA/GMF .sol/solb file

Build

make all

Usage

Extract all variables :

./dat2sol <filename.dat> <filename.sol/.solb> 

Two temporary files will be also written:

• varnames.txt containing the name of each variable. If the sol/solb file is going to be converted again back this file is needed.
• metadata.txt in case the .dat file contains aditional information like angle of attack, exit iteration etc (default in SU2 6.2.0) this file will hold its values. If the sol/solb file is going to be converted again back this file is needed.

Extract a single variable :

./dat2sol <filename.dat> <filename.sol/.solb> <Variable name>

Convert solb (holding all variables) back to SU2 restart file

./solb2dat <filename.solb> <mesh.su2> <newfile.dat> [ASCII]

• mesh.su2 should match the <filename.dat> used to create the solb file.
• If metadata.txt was generated in previous step it should be present. Optionally passing ASCII will create an ascii solution file compatible with SU2 6.2.0 instead of a binary file.

Notes

• Tested with SU2 6.2.0, 7.0.1
