AcuSolve Tip – Convert AcuSolve’s mesh files between ascii and binary format

Did you know that you can convert AcuSolve’s mesh files between ascii and binary using the acuFmtArray utility? For example, if you want to convert a coordinates file from binary to ascii, you can execute the following:

acuFmtArray problemName.crd.B

You can then edit the file in ascii format and convert it back to binary:

acuFmtArray problemName.crd

AcuFmtArray automatically detects the format of the file based on the extension (anything with a .B is assumed to be binary, all others are assumed ascii).
