Output file
A name and location of the output file must be specified along with the file type. The file type depends on the Output format and the Data type as shown in Table 6.2.
Vectors components and tensors components in a 2D dfsu file are given in the projection coordinate system. In a dfs2 file the vector and tensor components are given in the local coordinate system.
