Detailed Description
Properties are defined generically and can be assigned to any type of entity. Property groups are created under groups of other types (meshes, elements, nodes, grids, cells, etc). Properties can be integers, floats (single or double precision), bit on/off (stored as unsigned characters), or strings. The length of the array in the property variable can be the number of cells or elements in the group (one value per cell or element), the number of nodes in the group (one value per node), or a single value (one value for the group or the same value for all objects in the group). Properties must be in the same order in the array as the data objects in the group.
Only one property with a given name may exist in a property folder (for a particular group). The name is case sensitive so be careful. String properties are passed as character arrays along with their length.
