Understanding the format of universal files

Understanding the format of universal files

Understanding the format of universal files

(OP)
Hello! I export a results envelope containing the maximum stress component to a universal file. Now I opened the universal file and I am trying to understand its format/meaning. The .unv file looks like the following snippet and my comments are proceeded by #:

-1 #I think this just signifies the start of the file
2414 #What is this?
1 #What is this?
Check #What is this?
2 #What is this?
RESULT_NAME_KEY Test1 #this name shows up in the result tres
NONE #What is this?
NONE #What is this?

I need to know the format because I want to manipulate the results and I want to make sure that I do no mess anything up when I do that.
