loadDeformations

Description

SAENO loads in a set of nodal displacements (UFOUND) as well as a set of corresponding cross-correlation values (SFOUND). if SCATTEREDRFOUND is set to "1" the loaded displacements do not coincide with the nodes of the tetrahedral mesh. In this case the program also loads the positions of the displacements (RFOUND) and computes the interpolation matrix from the scattered positions onto the nodes of the mesh.

The UFOUND file (asci format) is structured as follows: Every line describes the displacement vector of the node with the given line number. Every line has 3 entries, which are sperated by white space. The three columns are read in as the x,y and z values of the nodes in meters. (see also loadMesh

The SFOUND file (asci format) is structured as follows: Every line consists of a single number stating the achieved cross-correlation during the matching process. If you don't want SAENO to filter out any badly matched displacements, write a value of "1.0" in every line. The total number of lines must be equal to the number of displacements.

The RFOUND file (asci format) is structured as follows: Every line describes the postion of a measured displacement vector. Every line has 3 entries, which are sperated by white space. The three columns are read in as the x,y and z values of the nodes in meters. Note that if you let SAENO generate a mesh using makeBoxmesh the origin of the x-y-z-coordinate system will be the center of the mesh.

Table of Parameters

name	type	default	explanation
DATAIN	string	empty
UFOUND	string	Ufound.dat
SFOUND	string	Sfound.dat
RFOUND	string	Rfound.dat
SCATTEREDRFOUND	bool	0	If set to "1", the postions of the measured displacements don't have to coincide with the nodes of the tetrahedral mesh. In this case the RFOUND file is loaded. This option is not suppoerted for the computation mode.
