Structured Grid (IJK) : Definition Data Records

 A Structured Grid (IJK) Definition Data Set is denoted by a `KEY' of 60 in the data set header record. The grid definition data comprises a header record of the form:

KEY, NUMBLK, IDIMEN
To be written with the format:

FORMAT (1X, I2, 2I10)

Where:


KEY = -1 for the data header record
-3 for the data set delimiter record which is an otherwise
blank record inserted at the end of the data set.
NUMBLK = Number of blocks in the model.
IDIMEN = If the grid is 2D or 3D.
1 = 3D
2 = 2D in the IJ plane.
(Note other 2D planes not yet supported)

Then, for each block, followed by a data continuation record of the form:

KEY, I, J, K
To be written with the format:

FORMAT (1X, I2, 3I10)

Where:


KEY = -2 for a data continuation record.
I = Number of cells in the I direction.
J = Number of cells in the J direction.
K = Number of cells in the K direction.
