GSA 10.2 – GWA Keywords
Introduction
The format of the text data file is a record by record file with fields separated by tabs or commas. There are three variants of the text file: - .gwa - default text file
- .txt - tab separated text file
- .csv - comma separated (or locale specific list separated) text file
The default option (.gwa) reads/writes files in an international format. Data is written in SI units. The decimal point is a dot and the fields are separated by a tab. This is recommended where files have to be transferred between offices in different countries.
The tab separated option (.txt) reads/writes files in a locale specific format where the decimal point can be a dot or comma depending on the locale. The files can either be in SI or model units.
The csv file option (.csv) reads/writes files in a locale specific format where the decimal point can be a dot or comma, and the list separator a comma or semi-colon depending on the locale. The files can either be in SI or model units.
With the default (.gwa) file extension the file is read/written in an international format. The alternative options read/write files using the local settings for decimal points and list separators (see 'Windows Settings') for ease of importing the files into spreadsheets.
Each record consists of a keyword and a number of fields). There may only be one record per line, but a record may be continued on more than one line. To spread a record over several lines a continuation marker (a \) should be placed in the next field position on that line. Comments can be included in the file on any line after a comment marker (an !) character. The \ should precede any comments and anything after the continuation marker will be treated as a comment. Both comments and continuation characters should be separated from the fields by a tab. Blank lines (no space or tab characters) are acceptable. A blank field is interpreted as a null string for string fields and a zero for numeric fields.
The keyword is of the form keyword.version:sid. If no version is specified the latest version is assumed. The sid (string id) is optional but can be used for tagging records for transferring data between programs.
Case fields are integer values for analysis cases or strings in the format Tx.y for task x results for timestep y.
Units
When saving to a text file format you can select to use either model units or SI units.
When exporting user modules .gwa format is used, with SI units.
When importing/reading text files, SI units are assumed (until a UNIT_ record is encountered - after which that unit preference is used for subsequent values)
When copying/pasting GWA data to/from the clipboard, the current model units are used.

GSA 10.2 records
Each record is of the form:
KEY_WORD, value, value, value, value
Version numbers may be associated with GWA keywords. Versions are specified by appending the version number to the keyword, separated by a '.', for example:
NODE.2
When reading GWA records for versioned keywords, where no version is supplied the current version is assumed. GSA does not write the version to GWA records.
A new version number is assigned only when new data is inserted into an existing keyword record. New data appended to an existing keyword record does not warrant a new version number.
Where a table is referred to, this represents the following input
n, x1, y1, ... xn, yn
where n is the number of points, xi is the value of the abscissa and yi is the value of the ordinate.
The format of the specific records is as follows: Index
