External material data values

[PierreAntonetti]

Hi,

Is it possible to externalize material data values (defined as tables in Elmer) into a file ?

The idea is to replace the following block :

Code: Select all

Material 1
    Name = "fiber"
	Heat Conductivity = Variable Temperature
	    Real
	    293.15    0.1
	    373.15    0.15
	    473.15    0.16
	    573.15    0.17
	    673.15    0.2
	    773.15    0.25
	    873.15    0.3
	    973.15    0.28
	    1072.15   0.25
	    1073.15   0.24
	    1473.15   0.21
	End
	...

by :

Code: Select all

Material 1
    Name = "fiber"
	Heat Conductivity = Variable Temperature
	File "fiber_conductivity.dat"

Best regards.

Hello,

Search elmerfem/fem/tests for the filename 'nothinline.sif'. This test uses 'Include' to include a data file.
