*PARSES A LS-PREPOST EXPORTED FILE TO IMPORT DATA RELATED TO NODES AND NODAL OR ELEMENT RESULTSR*
=================================================================================================

Parses an LS-Prepost exported file to extract nodal and element results, then archives and attaches the parsed output to the parent simulation. Use this worker to ingest LS-Prepost ASCII result exports and make structured nodal/element data available for downstream processing.
