4.4 SAVTYP

This variable holds entries, for each memory manager record, which hold data relating to the variables marked for saving to the result file(s). This array has two entries which are accessed by the index variables WRTTYP and VLOCAT. The description of these entries is as follows:

WRTTYP Flag which indicates what values of a saved variable are to be written to the result files. This variable can have values WRITE_ALL, to signify that all values are to be written, or WRITE_NON_0, to signify the only none zero values are to be written. The use of WRITE_NON_0 for variables such as patch data can considerably reduce the size of the result file.
VLOCAT Flag to indicate at what geometric location a variable is stored. This entry can have values VALUE_AT_VTX, VALUE_AT_FACE, VALUE_AT_ELE and VALUE_AT_NA to signify that the variable is vertex, face, element or other based respectively.
