bht_translation

Turn the data of the DAT-File into MATLAB structure array variables.

Syntax

[gene_data,discret_data,bound_data,ode_data,phys_data,fish] = bht_translation(filename)

Description

The function is called by bht_data_compile during the compilation of the DAT-File. It reads the DAT-File filename, extracts the data and sets up the fields of the output structure array variables gene_data,discret_data,bound_data,ode_data,phys_data and fish after they have been prealocated.

Not all of the fields of these variables are set up by bht_translation. Actually, this function does not perform any computation. Computations on the data (providing for instance the solids' centers of mass or the boundaries' meshes) are done by the functions bht_boundaries_init and bht_solids_data_init also ran by bht_data_compile.

Output variables

The following fields are set up by bht_translation (we refer to the List of output variables for a description).

Field(s) of gene_data	Field(s) of discret_data	Field(s) of bound_data	Field(s) of ode_data	Field(s) of phys_data	Field(s) of fish
pb_type, collisions, alpha, epsilon, array_fishes_solids, base_filename	mesh_size	mfilename, settings, color	Tmax, dT, initial_positions, initial_velocities	rhof, rhos	father, label, body, density, hinge_coord, local_hinge, color
