Description
Summary
This module reads a bundle from file.
Detailed Description
This module reads a bundle from file. A bundle file has a .bdl extension and can be written with the WriteBundle module. In a .bdl file every component is stored. Hence it can be used to group a lot of different SCIRun objects together and store it in one file.
This module has one input port through which the user can define the name of the file that needs to be read. If this port is connected to a string dataflow object, this name is used instead the one entered in the GUI.
This module has two output ports: the first port contains the bundle that was read and the second port contains a copy of the filename. Hence if one wants to annotate the results, this filename can be displayed using the ShowString module.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does the bundle writer store duplicate objects twice in a file?
- No, the bundle writer will detect whether objects are the same. For instance if two fields use the same mesh, the mesh is only stored once in the file. This way memory and space is conserved.
