FEM_BOM Worker Added to Generate LS-DYNA Bill of Materials
==========================================================

Overview
--------

The ``FEM_BOM`` worker has been added to Workflows to generate a comprehensive **Bill of Materials (BOM)** from an **LS-DYNA** model.

The worker extracts detailed information for each part, including material properties, thickness, mass, connections, features, class, assembly information, and overall summary statistics, providing a complete overview of the model structure.

Key Features
------------

- Added the ``FEM_BOM`` worker to Workflows
- Generates a comprehensive **Bill of Materials (BOM)** from an LS-DYNA model
- Extracts per-part details including material, thickness, mass, connections, features, class, and assembly
- Produces summary statistics for the overall model
- Simplifies model review, reporting, and downstream analysis

FEM_BOM Worker Supports Connections Dataset Output
==================================================

Overview
--------

The ``FEM_BOM`` worker now supports a new **Include Connections Dataset** input, enabling the generation of a dedicated **Connections** dataset.

When enabled, the worker produces per-connection information, including connection type, geometry, area, mass, and stiffness, providing detailed insight into the connections within an LS-DYNA model.

Key Features
------------

- Added the **Include Connections Dataset** input to the ``FEM_BOM`` worker
- Generates a dedicated **Connections** dataset
- Outputs one record for each connection in the model
- Includes connection type, geometry, area, mass, and stiffness details
- Enhances BOM reporting with connection-level information

EM_BOM Worker Supports d3hsp Run Statistics Extraction
=======================================================

Overview
--------

The ``FEM_BOM`` worker now supports a new **Folder of Simulations** input together with an **Include d3hsp Run Stats** option.

When enabled, the worker scans the supplied simulation folders, reads the associated ``d3hsp`` files, and extracts simulation run statistics, including timing information, node, element, and part counts, as well as the elapsed runtime.

Key Features
------------

- Added a **Folder of Simulations** input to the ``FEM_BOM`` worker
- Added an **Include d3hsp Run Stats** option
- Extracts run statistics from ``d3hsp`` files
- Reports node, element, and part counts for each simulation
- Captures simulation timing and elapsed runtime
- Generates run statistics alongside the standard BOM outputs
