NASA Ames Data Format: FFI 3010


Symbols used

Xs sth independent variable (s = 1, 2 or 3). Its values are real.
X1 and X2 are the bounded independent variables, X3 is the unbounded independent variable.
Only X3 is recorded in the data section of the file. X1 and X2 are recorded in the file header (see Metadata Format 3010).
NXs Number of values of Xs for s = 1 or 2
NV Number of primary dependent variables
NAUXV Number of auxiliary dependent variables
Vn nth primary variable
Aa ath auxiliary variable (depends on X3 only — independent of X1 and X2). Its values are real.

Condensed notation

[ X3(m) ( Aa(m), a=1,NAUXV ) ]
