Description:

The AVS UCD (Unstructured Cell Data) format can be used to represent finite-element grids and associated data fields in 2 and 3 dimensions. Currently, in Amira only 2D triangular cells, 3D tetrahedral cells, and 3D hexahedral cells are supported. Grids with these cells types will be converted into objects of type Surface, TetraGrid, or HexaGrid, respectively. Corresponding data fields will be converted into appropriate Amira objects as well, provided the data is defined on a per-node basis. Cell data are currently not supported.

Two variants of the AVS UCD format exist, an ASCII version and a binary version. Amira is able to read and write both of them. Amira identifies AVS UCD data files by the file name suffix .inp.
