Can also be used if it is required to restart reading the static items.

If the item-timestep exists already, data is updated. If it does not exist, the item number and timestep index must match exactly the next item-timestep after the last one in the file.

The size of the data must match the data size of the item that is to be written.

The time value is only relevant for files with non-equidistant time axis. For files with an equidistant time axis, the time value is ignored, and a zero can be used.

Writes the next dynamic item-timestep.

If the file pointer points to the end of the file, this will append a new item-timestep to the file. If the file pointer points to an existing item-timestep, the data of that item-timestep is updated.

Remember that the file pointer position depends on the mode that the file was opened: In edit mode the file pointer points at the first item-timestep. In append mode the file pointer points initially at the end of file.

It iterates over the item-timesteps as the ReadItemTimeStepNext, see there for more details.

This is the most efficient way to iterate through and update/append the items and timesteps in a file, since it iterates exactly as the data is stored on the disk.

The size of the data must match the data size of the item that is to be written.

The time value is only relevant for files with non-equidistant time axis. For files with an equidistant time axis, the time value is ignored, and a zero can be used.
