cape.plot3d: Python interface to Plot3D files¶
This module provides a generic Plot3D file interface for reading Plot3D
grid files using the class cape.plot3d.X. This class
automatically detects endianness of the grid and can handle IBLANKS in
addition to single-grid or multiple-grid formats.
The cape.plot3d.Q interface to solution files also exists, but
it is not reliable since Plot3D solution files are dependent on the
solver used to create the solution file.
