Connect File Description

A file called connect is written with every STOMP execution. This file contains a mapping of the vertices defining each node of the computational grid. For 3-D and 1-D simulations, 8 vertices define a node, and for 2-D simulations, 4 vertices define a node. Each line contains the node number followed by the corresponding vertices defining that node. The data in this file is used to configure the finite-element data format for Tecplot. Therefore, the connect file must be present in the same location as the plot.n files when using plotTo.pl to post-process file for plotting with Tecplot.
