Convert Poincare Results into FieldView Particle Path File Format

Poincare results are produced using the POINCARE_OUTPUT type from AcuTrace.

This type of particle tracing records the state of the particle only as it passes through the requested planes. To convert this type of result into FieldView Particle Path File format, the following command is used:
acuTransTrace -to fieldview -fvopt poincare,steady
It is also possible to convert the poincare output into a pseudo time format. In this case, the values reported in the output file represent the time values of the Poincare plane hits. For example, the following command is used to convert the poincare output into FieldView Particle Path File format using the psuedo time option:
acuTransTrace -to fieldview -fvopt poincare,steady,pseudotc

The "steady" argument passed to the -fvopt option causes the data to be written in FieldView's ASCII particle path file format. This option must be used when converting poincare output.
