TOUGH3 output and ext2

MESH out

Hello all,

 

I am using the famous ext2.exe file to extract data from TOUGH3-eos3 output file but it is not working (although it works perfectly fine with my TOUGH2 outputs).

could someone let me know if ext2 is TOUGH2 exclusive or something else is going wrong?

I attached my output and mesh.

 

Thanks,

Alborz Fathinezhad

    I have no trouble to extract output with the files you posted. See attached. Where did you obtain the ext2? Please go to the TOUGH website to download ext.

    Thanks

      dear Yingqi Zhang 

       

      I downloaded it from TOUGH website but it is not working and I cannot figure out why. Nevertheless, thanks to Keurfon Luu  , I now learned I have a better option (OUTPU).

       

      bests,

       Here are all the free software that could be very useful:

       Thanks a lot! But the ext2 version is no longer available. And the ext version doesn't work with Tough3. Can you send me your version of ext2? By email?

       I do not know if my ext would work for TOUGH3 but you can try. OUTPUT_ELEME* is a much better option, which you can output exactly what you want, you may need to look into why converting to vtk it is not work (looks like you did not provide mesh file). Ext is not that flexible (you also need to provide mesh). And it will not provide you vtk files. Nevertheless, I am happy to send you my version if you want to try. You do need to provide me your email.

    In TOUGH3, you can directly produce a TECPLOT output file using the block OUTPU: 

    OUTPU----1----*----2----*----3----*----4----*----5----*----6----*----7----*----8
TECPLOT

    On a side note, toughio can also export TOUGH3 standard outputs (OUTPUT_ELEME.* or OUTPUT_CONNE.*): 

    toughio-export OUTPUT_ELEME.csv

    For Tecplot: 

    toughio-export OUTPUT_ELEME.csv -f tecplot

       Hi! I tried to run this line in my bash, but I have a 2D mesh, so I get this : 

      Reading file 'OUTPUT_CONNE.csv' ... Done!
      Mesh file not specified, inferring dimensionality ... Done!
      Mesh is 2D, performing point triangulation ... Done!
      Writing output file 'OUTPUT_CONNE.vtk' ...Warning: VTK requires 3D points, but 2
      D points given. Appending 0 third
      component.
       Done!

      Do you have a solution ? With ext2 ? But it's not available on the tough site...  

      toughio-export OUTPUT_ELEME.csv -f vtk

       There is no error message. The command line program is simply warning that it added a third dimension to your mesh (since it's 2D but VTK requires 3D points).

    Alborz Fathinezhad Great. Sorry I thought you knew about OUTPU block since I saw an outpu block in your input file from yesterday and it generated output_eleme file.
