**Description**



When this keyword is used, Dakota expects results files written
by an analysis driver or output filter to be in the default `standard`
format, which is explained :ref:`here <responses:results:standard>`.
A strength of the `standard` format is that it is flexible and easy
to write. Standard-format results files can be written by the 
:ref:`dakota.interfacing <interfaces:dakota.interfacing>` Python
module.

module.
