BINOUT EXTRACT FROM PATHS¶
Extracts time-history responses from LS-DYNA binout files by resolving a user-supplied list of binout paths (binout://file/id:legend/component format) against one or more simulations. Optionally applies scale, clip, filter, and transformation operations to each extracted curve before saving results as a response dataset and/or a named response template.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | One or more LS-DYNA simulation IDs (remote lookup, repeatable) whose binout files will be read; required — select the target simulation(s) from the platform registry. |
| Paths | paths | dataset | — | Dataset whose rows each contain a binout path in the form binout://file/id:legend/component; populated from the simulation’s binout menu API or supplied manually. | |
| Path Column Name | path_column | scalar | path | Name of the column in the paths dataset that holds the binout path strings; defaults to ‘path’ — change only if your dataset uses a different column name. | |
| Name Column Name | name_column | scalar | name | Name of the column in the paths dataset that provides the human-readable response name for each extracted curve; defaults to ‘name’ — change only if your dataset uses a different column name. | |
| Scale factors | scale_def | textarea | — | Comma-separated scale-factor overrides in the format name/xsf/ysf (e.g. accel/1.0/9810.0) applied to named curves before clipping and filtering; leave blank if no scaling is needed. | |
| Filter Definitions | filter_def | textarea | — | Comma-separated filter definitions in the format name/filter_type/filter_freq/time_sf/acc_sf (e.g. accel/SAE/60/1e-3/1.0); leave blank if no filtering is needed. | |
| Clip Definitions | clip_def | textarea | — | Comma-separated clip window definitions in the format name/xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax; leave blank if full time-range data should be kept. | |
| Transformations Definitions | transform_def | dataset | — | Dataset-style transformation table (columns: name, xsf, ysf, xoffset, yoffset, xmin, ymin, filter_type, filter_freq) applied in SCALE → CLIP → FILTER order; preferred over the text inputs when multiple transforms are needed. | |
| Layout Definitions | layout_def | dataset | — | Optional dataset defining plot layout for the extracted responses (columns: name, page, layout, window); leave empty if no custom plot layout is required. | |
| Template Name | template_id | — | String name for the response template to be created from the extracted responses; leave blank if saving a named template is not required. | ||
| Expressions | expressions | dataset | — | Optional dataset of derived-channel expressions to append (columns: name, type, expression) using platform composite-expression syntax; leave empty if no derived channels are needed. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Responses | responses | dataset | Dataset containing all extracted (and optionally transformed) time-history response curves from the binout files, one row per response channel. |
| Responsetemplate | template_id | integer | Integer ID of the newly created response template in the platform’s responsetemplates registry; populated only when a template_name was provided as input. |
