New file *.post.lst can be read into GiD, postprocess. This file is automatically read when the user works in a GiD project and changes from pre to postprocess.
This file can also be read with File→Open

The file contains a list of the files to be read by the postprocess:

• The first line should contain one of these words:
  • Single: just a single file ( two for ascii files: one for mesh and another for results) is provided to be read ( see Open );
  • Merge: several filenames are provided, one filename per line, which are to be merged inside GiD, for instance when the files come from a domain decomposed simulation ( see Merge... (only Postprocessing) ); Example : Domain partition with a static mesh along time.
  • Multiple: several filenames are provided, one filename per line, which are read in GiD, for instance if they belong to a DEM simulation, or FEM simulation with mesh refinement ( see Open multiple... (only Postprocessing) ); Example : mesh refinement, where each step of the analysis hsa it's own mesh.
• next lines: the mesh and results files to be read, with one filename per line;
• following the postprocess mesh and result files, a list of graphs filenames can be provided so that GiD reads them too; fraphs files have the extension .grf;
• comment lines begin with the # character and blank lines are also admited;
• file names may have absolute path names or relative to the list file location;
