Post processing Linux generated results using Bladed Windows (or vice versa)
Category: Post Processing

Problem
Bladed errors when a user attempts to post process a Linux simulation using Bladed Windows GUI.
Solution

The cause of the issue is the difference between Linux and Windows line ends. Text files created on DOS/Windows machines have different line endings than files created on Unix/Linux. DOS uses carriage return and line feed ("\r\n") as a line ending, which Unix uses just line feed ("\n"). You need to be careful about transferring files between Windows machines and Unix machines to make sure the line endings are translated properly.

There are two ways to resolve this:

1) Use a utility such as unix2dos, notepad++ or similar to convert the files (or do a string replace), i.e. Linux to DOS would require replacing "\n" with "\r\n"

2) Set up the post processing configuration (folder structure etc) in Bladed Windows and then copy in the results files
