BINOUT SUMMARY EXTRACTOR¶
Reads one or more LS-DYNA binout files (from a simulation record or direct upload) and returns a structured dataset summarising the available time-history branches, their IDs, labels, components, and optional min/max final values. Use this worker to quickly inventory what data is stored in a binout before running targeted extraction steps.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | One or more simulation records (remote lookup against the simulations data-type) whose source directory contains the binout files to summarise; required when no direct files are uploaded. |
| Summary Type | summary_type | select | quick_summary | Controls the verbosity of the summary: ‘quick_summary’ (default) lists branches only; ‘full_summary’ appends min/max of final values; ‘quick_summary_with_ids_labels’ adds entity IDs and labels; ‘quick_summary_with_ids_labels_and_components’ further adds component names. | |
| Branch Types | branch_types | text | — | Optional comma-separated list of binout branch/file names (e.g. ‘nodout,elout’) to restrict the output to; leave blank to return all branches found in the binout. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| binout_summary | binout_summary | dataset | Dataset (JSON array of objects) where each row describes one binout branch — including file_name, available IDs/labels/components, and min/max values depending on the chosen summary_type. |
