The result folder, saved in the selected project folder, contains the following file formats:
*.gdt:GeoDict 3D compressed file format for the description of the geometry (e.g., Structure.gdt).
The Structure_x.gdt, Structure_y.gdt, and Structure_z.gdt files are written depending on the chosen computation directions. These files show the structure as seen by the solver. All closed pores, depending on computation direction and boundary conditions, are marked with a separate material ID as closed pores. No flow is simulated in these regions. Below is a 2D example with the computation directions x and y. The Domain Boundary Conditions in Longitudinal Direction were set to periodic, while they were symmetric in Transverse Directions.
*.log:Diary of the solver computing flow properties for each computed direction (e.g., SolverLog_z.log). When using MPI parallelization, the *_p1.log, *_p2.log, and *_p3.log contain the information for each processor running the computations.
*.pde: Partial differential equation file format, with input parameters for the solvers (e.g., SolverParameters_z.pde).
*.txt: Text document format.
For example, the SolverResult_z.txt contains simulation results for the flow field in Z-direction.
When using parallelization, a machine file is present with the name machines.txt that contains the name of the compute nodes where the computations took place.
*.vap: Visualization file format (e.g., FlowField_z.vap). The *.ivap and *.ovap files contain data about the inflow/outflow region and are only present if periodic with inflow/outflow regions was selected in the boundary conditions tab.
