plotcprs

Compress and manipulates d3plot files

The program allows to write new d3plot files from existing ones. E.g. the new database can be written without the stress tensors or velocities even some parts can be removed. A common compression rate is 93%. The usage is recommended for: reduce the data base to have fast transfer via Internet, reduce the data base for final backup, facilitate exchange with other parties, by removing proprietary parts, create d3plot-files in local coordinate systems, for e.g. fringe plots of intrusion velocities.

usage: plotcprs [options]

options:

-g plotfile LS-DYNA binary plot geometry data file
(default: d3plot)
-o prefix prefix name for resulting plotfile
(default: "cpr_")
-t title title/heading on resulting plotfile
(default: no change to title text)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-m part-file file name for list of parts to be in/excluded
(default: all parts are included)
syntax of part-file:
-id excludes part with id
id includes part with id
id1-id2 includes parts from id1-id2
-excl parts in part-file are excluded (option -m)
(default: parts are included)
-box boxfile file name for min/max coordinate range (box)
(default: all elements are included)
syntax of box-file:
xmin=value, ... , zmax=value
(format and order are arbitrary)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-rel ref-file file with three nodes that define ref.-system
dis/vel/acc are transformed into ref-system
-iv transform velocities as intrusion velocities
relativ to the reference system defined above
-troff <node> translational offset by coordinates of <node>
-troff <file> translational offset defined in <file>
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-velo write nodal velocities
-acc write nodal accelerations
-temp write nodal temperatures
-stress write stress tensor (shell)
-vmises write v.Mises stress as extra history variable
(overrides "-stress" option)
-triax write ratio p/vMises as extra history variable
-plast write plastic strain (shell)
-shist write extra shell history variables (shell)
-max write max. value of all int-points (shell)
(for "-stress","-vmises", "-plast","-shist")
(default: all int-points are written)
-thick write thickness and internal energy (shell)
-beam write all beam element results
-solid write all solid element results
-shell write all shell element results
-sph write all sph element results
-cpm write all corpuscular particle results
-elem write all element data ("-beam -solid -shell")
-full write all result data (useful for -m option)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-uc ## unit conversion type on nodal results
(1) m-s-kg; (2) mm-s-t; (3) mm-ms-kg
eg: "-uc 21" converts from (2) to (1)
-mirr x|y|z mirror nodal data in x|y|z-direction in origin
eg: "-mirr xy"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-merge merge resulting states into ONE plotfile
-split split resulting states on seperate plotfiles
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-info gives information about compression factor
-check check plotfiles and compression factor
-list list content of plotfile
-v gives version number
-h give this help on screen
