Boundary XY Files (*.bxy)

Boundary XY files are used to store the x,y location of the nodes on all of the nodestrings in a mesh. The idea of this file is to export only the boundary node locations. To do this, make sure nodestrings only exist along the boundary.

Boundary XY files are not opened in SMS but are saved from File | Save As... from the Mesh module.
