Compress and extract existing
Local Simulation results with a command-line tool
panzip's compression uses a lossy method that entails the discretization of results from 4-byte reals to 1-byte encoded integers before running a standard compression algorithm. Usage:
panzip <command> <archive name> [<diff period>] [<case file names>...]
Commands are:
| c |
Add case files to the archive (uses LZMA) |
| cl |
Add case files to the archive explicitly using LZMA compression |
| cd |
Add case files to the archive using deflate compression |
| cp |
Add case files to the archive with diff period control |
| x |
Extract all files |
| xc |
Extract only Ensight Case files |
| xv |
Extract only VTK files |
The compression can also be executed at runtime by the inclusion of the *PZIP card in the input files.
The diff period control is not currently useful as it requires a program to read the files in via random access, which no current post processing tool exists to support.
