Surface Mesh Format

The ASCII surface mesh file format produced by Surface95 and used by MeshView and DimensionMG typically has a .mod.e suffix, and can be described as follows:

<nn> <ne> number of nodes NN and elements NE
<x> <y> <z> <r> x-, y-, and z-coordinates and refinement value
... NN-1 lines just like the last one
<n1> <n2> <n3> <rng> three node numbers and an RNG number
... NE-1 lines just like the last one

The refinement values are ignored in most DimensionMG applications. The RNG value should be zero for interior refinement surfaces. Surf2MIXD can be used to convert this data to 3D triangular mesh in MIXD format .
