Star-CD uses a so-called 'cell table' to organize properties.
The ccm and star4 converters preserve this information as a dictionary of
dictionaries under "constant/cellTable" and as cell data under "0/cellTableId".
The combination of both files allows subsequent creating of cellSets
and cellZones for any combination of properties (eg, porosities and solids).
Additionally, the reverse converters can use this information when
converting foam meshes back to the Star-CD formats.
The names choosen for the dictionary elements (eg, Label, MaterialType, etc)
match those used by the ccm-format.
Currently, the keywords used in the main dictionary are irrelevant, provided
that they are unique and start with a character in the set [A-Za-z].
Here is a sample sub-dictionary:
<word> // arbitrary tag - must be unique
{
Id <int>; // mandatory - must be unique
Label <word>; // optional
MaterialType <word>; // optional (fluid|solid)
MaterialId <int>; // optional
PorosityId <int>; // optional
GroupId <int>; // optional
SpinId <int>; // optional
}
