BINOUT EXTRACTOR¶
Extracts time-history response vectors from LS-DYNA binout files associated with a simulation or uploaded file set. The user selects the binout branch, entity IDs, and components; the worker runs binout2xml parsing and returns the extracted vector plus a structured response record. Optionally auto-saves the extracted response back to the parent simulation.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Response Name | response_name | text | — | ✓ | User-defined label assigned to the extracted response vector; used as the output name and, when auto-save is enabled, as the stored response name on the simulation. |
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | Reference to an existing d3VIEW simulation record whose on-disk directory is used as the source for binout files; mutually exclusive with direct file upload — at least one of the two must be provided. |
| Select Branch,ID, and Components | binout_info | custom | — | ✓ | Structured selector (rendered by d3VIEW.BinoutInfoSelector) that captures the ASCII index file path, the binout branch/component list, and the entity ID list; all three sub-fields are required for extraction to proceed. |
| Auto Save to Simulation | auto_save | select | no | Controls whether the extracted response is persisted back to the parent simulation record; set to ‘yes’ to save, default ‘no’ leaves the simulation unchanged. | |
| Force Reextract | force_extract | select | no | When set to ‘yes’, forces re-extraction even if a cached result already exists on disk; default ‘no’ reuses any previously extracted data. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binout Output | binout_output | vector | The extracted time-history as a numeric vector (type: vector), labelled with the user-supplied response name; contains the raw time–value array from the binout component. |
| Binout Logs | binout_logs | dataset | Dataset containing extraction log/diagnostic messages produced by the Simlyzer pipeline; useful for debugging failed or partial extractions. |
| Responses | responses | dataset | Dataset record describing the extracted response in d3VIEW’s response schema — includes name, type, data_source (‘dyna_binout’), binout options, and the serialised vector value; suitable for downstream response-template or KPI workers. |
