TH node file format 1: .csv

This is a text file (.csv) defined with the following cards.

For each node, three lines have to be defined with:

•	Node_label_X, coordinate value in X direction

•	Node_label_Y, coordinate value in Y direction

•	Node_label_Z, coordinate value in Z direction

Use the following characters to separate the different fields: ”,”, ”or” or ”blank”.

Note:

The node label must not contain these 3 characters.

Example:

#--1---|---2---|---3---|---4---|---5---|---6---|---7---|---8---|---9---|--10---|

Dashboard_lower_position_1_Y,0

Dashboard_lower_position_1_Z,-125.754

Dashboard_lower_position_2_X,1234.098

Dashboard_lower_position_2_Y,-150

#--1---|---2---|---3---|---4---|---5---|---6---|---7---|---8---|---9---|--10---|

TH node file format 2: .txt
