Contents of Data Items

VisualFEA files consist of many data items as described in the previous sections. The structure and the contents of each data item are described in more detail in this section. The contents of VisualFEA files consist of two parts: modeling data and analysis data. Data items of the two parts are indicated in the figure at the beginning of this chapter. The modeling data items are generated at the stage of preprocessing. The analysis data items are obtained as a result of finite element processing, either by VisualFEA or by an external solver.
