# title
# Variables, meaning the names of the coordinates and the physical measures
# one or more zones; each zone can e.g. contain the data of one time step. Zones may refer either to finite differences grids or to finite elements grids. The files used in the BAW-DH refer to FE grids and contain:
#* zone name
#* number of nodes and number of elements,<br />way of sorting (FEPOINT = FE grid, node sorted, meaning in a row all variables of a node) and element types
#* node coordinates and the values of the physical measures at the nodes
#* connectivity table 

Chapter 4 of the Tecplot User Manual (s. $PROGHOME/examples/Tecplot/manuals/tecplot_um.pdf) contains a complete description of the file format including e.g. text strings, geometric elements, labels and auxiliary data.
