File Formats

When setting up a CARP simulation, a node, element and fibre files will generally be required. They must be given the same base name, but different extensions, for example:

   meshname.pts
   meshname.elem
   meshname.lon

To support the quick variation of fiber architecture alternative fiber files can be provided using the orthoname option. In this case meshname is used for nodal and element file, but orthoname is used for the fiber file. For instance, using

   -meshname biv_rabbit -orthoname biv_rabbit_hf

would read the following files:

   biv_rabbit.pts
   biv_rabbit.elem
   biv_rabbit_hf.lon
