Import Point Data Feature for import or export of point data to CAESES

[Karsten Wenzke 12]

Hey,

 

I' ve created two feature definitions for importing and exporting of point data.

 

Import:

 

The file is read line by line. To create the point as objects you have to create the feature defintion via execute Defintion (right click).

 

The point data in the csv or txt file has to be separated by white space or comma by default.

 

You will find attached the project, the feature definitions and two example files as a zip file.

 

Best regards

Hi Karsten,

 

I've tried to use the import point data feature definition on its own but cannot get the "section" to be displayed.

 

And if I use the ImportPointData.fdf then it's displaying the curve but not using the datafile from the "ReadFile" feature but is using the Csv-file as indata. Its somewhat confusing.

Hey Daniel,

Did you define an input file? I have tested the files again and they are working at least on my system.

 

 

And if I use the ImportPointData.fdf then it's displaying the curve but not using the datafile from the "ReadFile" feature but is using the Csv-file as indata. Its somewhat confusing.

Please try the following steps:

1. download ReadAndWriteFiles.fdb and exampleFiles.zip
2. extract exampleFiles.zip
3. open ReadAndWriteFiles.fdb
4. link test.txt gain to the feature ReadFile
5. now the section should be available

Best Regards

Hi Karsten,

 

I'm trying to expand your example. What I want to do is to define a file with two sets separated by an empty line. In that case, how the empty line should be addressed?

Hey Felipe,

 

Sorry for the late reply.

 

If I understand you correctly the empty line defines a new set off data right?

 

If so you can use this feature. Please note, that the feature now does not create a table of the imported data.

It is based on the import2Ddata. (features > tools > Import 2D data from files)

 

1) Simply create a feature definition via features > new definition,

2) select Reload button.

3) choose the downloaded import3DDataWithSeperator.fdf file.

 

I hope this solves your problem.

 

In this post you can find a custom import for geomturbo data files.

Which has a string as separator. If you want to use a String instead of an empty line.

 

Cheers,

Hi Karsten,

Thanks for creating these files. The 3D import works fine for me. How can I import 2D data then? I did not find "import 2D data from files in features".

Great Information

Hi Karsten,

could I write the control points  from nurbssurface, and read control points to build nurbssurface?

Thank you very much.

Hi Jack,

Yes you can. See the CAESES-Help "Features -> File I/O" how to write and read any ASCII-File. How to read and build nurbssurfaces within a featuredefinition, search for the help-page of the "FNurbsSurface" object. There you will find all functions according to the object. The set of functions inherited by "Fpointbasedsurface" will give you all you need.

Best,

Carl 

PS: the files from Karsten are created for CAESES4.
