Abstract:

The concept of an ASCII, 80 character per record, data base format, referred to as a Universal File, is presented to serve as the basis for data exchange between different hardware and software environments. Since the data involved is concerned with the structural dynamics testing and analysis areas, the Universal File formats include initialization files, geometry files, measurement files, and analysis data files. The Universal File format that is utilized originated with the Structural Dynamics Research Corporation. Keywords Computer files Vibration testing.
