Two card formats are supported namely column-based and colon-separated. This is
relevant to users who externally generate Feko input files and
can be ignored by users using EDITFEKO to modify the
cards.
Note: The two formats may be mixed in a single input file.
Column Based Format
This format separates the individual integer and real parameters in columns, see
Figure 1. The upper
numbers indicate the columns. The name field (xx) in columns 1 and 2
specifies the type of the card (all cards start with a unique two character
combination). This is followed by five integer parameters I1 to
I5 (these input fields may also contain text such as node names)
containing five digits each, and eight real-value parameters R1 to
R8 containing ten digits each.Figure 1. Column based card format in EDITFEKO. The
numbers above the table (1, 6, 10, 15, 20...110) indicate the
columns.
Colon Separated Format
The colon separated format separates the individual integer and real parameters by a
colon character. It is a less restrictive format than the column-based format.
Unlike the column-based format, integer and real input fields are not restricted to
5 or 10 characters respectively. Note that the card name is still located in columns
1 and 2. The name is followed by a colon in column 3. The rest of the card has no
spacing limitations.
