Files which can be divided into the following three groups depending on the type of the information they contain are saved in the working directory (SWORK by default) in the process of performing the calculation:
The first two groups contain the files in the binary format, and the third one — in the text format.
All files in the working directory are identified by the name of the problem file and a three-character extension, where the first letter f (see Table 2) is used for binary files, and p — for text files (see Table 3).
It is necessary to know the file names in order to transfer the problem together with the working files to another computer or to remove the unnecessary results from the working directory. Obviously, you can always delete the print files. If there is not enough disk space, you can also delete the file with the stiffness matrix (extension .f01), which usually has the largest size. The graphical analysis of the results of the calculation will remain accessible, but mode of continuing the calculation will not work.
When outputting the graphic files generated by the Save the screen image or Save the video with the animation operations, and also when creating documents for MS Word or MS Excel, the file names are specified by the user. Their extensions depend on the type of the information (.wmf, .emf — when saving the screen image, .avi — video file, .rtf — when exporting to MS Word, .xls — when exporting to MS Excel).
