Preferences - Triangulations
File Extensions
These preferences allow you to set which triangulation extensions will appear in the Vulcan Explorer application when you use the Open button
on the Standard toolbar, and when you use the List Triangulations button
on the Open toolbar.
Using the
icon is the same as using the Model > Triangle Utility > List option.
Triangulations that have extensions which are not listed in these preference settings will not appear in the appropriate Explorer folder or in the file lists displayed when the Open or List icons are used.
Auto update
Select the Auto update check box to automatically include any new triangulation (three letter extensions ending with t ) extensions that appear in the directory from which you started Vulcan. The triangulations will only be enabled if the file is a multiple of 24 bytes in size.
File Format
Use File Format drop-down list if you want to save triangulations or grids in the legacy Vulcan 7.5 format. You will need to restart workbench to make this option take effect.
Changes made to these preferences will not appear in the Vulcan Explorer until the Workbench has been restarted. However, they will appear in the file lists displayed when the Open
, List Triangulations
icons are used.
