FORMAT OF DYNAFLOW OUTPUT
FILES
This Appendix defines the format of files generated by DYNAFLOW. The data may then be read and converted into the form required by a post-processing program.
Each data set starts with a header of the form:
title
which contains up to 80 characters and is the same as the title defined by the command "DEFINE_PROBLEM" (see Sections 2.1 and 2.2).
Each output file is closed by the following data lines:
