BinaryPositionData

Description - This source reads in the bin.dat files created by SWIFT and SWIFTER. It allows you to read in a data file and specify the format of the file.

Elements - The elements output by this source are as follows

p[0]
particle number
v[0]
time
v[1]
a
v[2]
e
v[3]
i
v[4]
???
v[5]
???

 

Memory - This source does buffering of input that is bigger than what is specified in the options. For this reason, if you have very large files that you are reading, you should put a filter directly after this source that removes many of the elements. Selection and thinning filters are ideal for this.
