Note

Currently, these files formats are used by interp and inject generators only.

Sources file

The sources file format is an XML based format which defines a list of sources files associated to an unique ID.
The sources must be defined in a section delimited by the <datasources> tag, inside an <openfluid> tag and must be structured following these rules:

• Inside the <datasources> tag, there must be a set of <filesource> tags
• Each <filesource> tag must bring an ID attribute giving the identifier of source, and a file attribute giving the name of the file containing the source of data. The files must be placed in the input directory of the simulation.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
<openfluid>

  <datasources>
    <filesource ID="1" file="source1.dat" />
    <filesource ID="2" file="source2.dat" />    
  </datasources>

</openfluid>

An associated source data file is a two columns text file, containing a serie of values in time. The first column is the date using the ISO format YYYY-MM-DD'T'HH:MM:SS. The second column is the value itself.
