GGU-ELASTIC: "Import ASCII file" menu item
If the coordinates of the FEM mesh nodes are available in ASCII file format, they can be imported into the program. Each row of the file must contain the x- and y-value of a node. Decimal fractions must use a point, not a comma. When importing the ASCII file you must specify the columns containing the x- and the y-values.

The current row of the ASCII file is shown at the top. You can navigate through the file using the arrow buttons on the right. If all the information is correct, the result for the row is shown in the box below the column. Otherwise, an error message appears.
You may need to change the column delimiter.
If the file contains invalid as well as valid rows, these will simply be skipped during the subsequent import. After the "Import data" button has been pressed and the data successfully imported, you will see a message box with the number of points and character strings imported. The imported coordinates can then be processed to form an FEM mesh.
