Importing CII files
Verfasst: Mi 24. Mai 2017, 15:10
Rohr2 videos claim that Rohr2 can import pcf models that are as good as hand built. I there fore expected previously hand built models to be imported into Rohr2 as well as the original hand built model.
Is it possible to import cii files such that the node sequence and element upstream-downstream direction is retained?
If it is not possible to import in the original node sequence, please could you explain the logic used when files are imported? (It might be possible to change the source file in a way that would create a neat and logical Rohr2 file).
I have just imported a large cii file. All node numbers in the cii file were in numerical sequence. The node number were arranged from upstream to downstream. This was done to ensure a neat and logical understanding. The cii file shows all nodes in the sequence expected.
If one moved through the model, node 160 would be after 150, node 610 would be after node 600 and so on. On element 600 to 610 for example, 600 would be the start node, 610 would be the end node.
After importing the cii file, the node numbers were retained. However, the sequence of the elements was completely trashed. Node 150 might previously been a start node on element 150 to 160. 160 is now the start node, 150 is now the end node. Some elements are in their original sequence, while others are not. I am totally confused moving through the model. It is as though the elements have been imported in a random sequence and in random directions, start nodes might have become end nodes, sometimes start nodes are still start nodes.
