How to read a *.dat file from the function "Export Mesh" in "Advanced Meshing Tools&q

[Sacaq]

thread560-320686

Hi~

I export a .dat file from a surface.
I thought that maybe they are coordinate of nodes.
However, I don't know how to read it.
Can anyone kindly help?
Thank you!

The data in the file was like this:
