Structure of Bi4 files

zhuzhu

November 2021 in DualSPHysics v5.0

I want to export the data in Bi4, look through the code in TOVTK, only one JBinaryData mentions the binary file structure, but I want to get more detailed data structure of Bi4 file.

If anyone can help me, I'd be most grateful.

Yes please, I would need this help too!

The code is so complex that it is really difficult to understand the case.bi4 format by reading the code. I am currently wasting many hours on it without progress.

I made some code with another guy a while back, perhaps it can serve as inspiration: https://github.com/AhmedSalih3d/PostSPH.jl/blob/master/src/PostSPH.jl
Kind regards

Thanks, Asalih3d,

so I have to learn julia...

Can I ask something? When you wrote this code, you must have had an idea about the bi4 file structure. Where did you find this information?
