Compression FEBio Binary Database Specification #22

Open Nobregaigor opened 3 years ago

Nobregaigor commented 3 years ago

I am working on a python parser for the plot file (.xplt) and it is working correctly for non-compressed files. I have a large dataset that contains compressed plot files and I need to be able to read them and extract all state data. Where can I find the documentation for compressed plot formats?

Thanks.

Found a way to decompress data using zlib library. All data can be extracted directly from the plotfile now, I will share my code on github when it is finalized. However, I would suggest adding a documentation regarding the compression method, it took quite some time to find information about it.

Thanks for providing this feedback, we will add documentation the next time we update the manuals.
