UFF Data Set Number 58
This is the Universal File Format data set used for importing/exporting the data of a transducer sitting in a specific node and pointing in a specific direction. In the case of ARTeMIS Extractor it is the raw time series of a transducer. For more information see e.g. WEB-site of the Structural Dynamics Research Laboratory at University of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Record 1: Format(80A1)
| Field 1 | ID Line 1. |
Note: ID Line 1 is generally used for the function description.
Record 2: Format(80A1)
| Field 1 | ID Line 2. |
Record 3: Format(80A1)
| Field 1 | ID Line 3. |
Note: ID Line 3 is generally used to identify when the function was created. The date is in the form DD-MMM-YY, and the time is in the form HH:MM:SS, with a general Format(9A1,1X,8A1).
Record 4: Format(80A1)
| Field 1 | ID Line 4. |
Record 5: Format(80A1)
| Field 1 | ID Line 5. |
Record 6: Format(2(I5,I10),2(1X,10A1,I10,I4))
DOF Identification
| Field 1 | Function Type
