WRITES A GIVEN CURVE TO A LS-DYNA CURVE KEYWORD

Serializes a given XY curve into an LS-DYNA *DEFINE_CURVE keyword block for use in simulation decks. Use this worker whenever a workflow-generated or imported curve needs to be embedded directly into a LS-DYNA input file.

When to use

Classification: data.

Tagged: ", -, ], _, a, c, d, e.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Curve ID curve_i_d scalar   Integer load-curve ID (LCID) to assign in the *DEFINE_CURVE header; leave blank to let LS-DYNA auto-assign or inherit an upstream ID.
LCINT lcin_t scalar   LCINT value controlling the number of equally-spaced interpolation points written to the keyword; leave blank to omit and use the raw curve data points as-is.
Curve curve vector   XY curve data (vector of (x, y) pairs) to be serialized — typically a time-history, load, or material curve produced upstream in the workflow.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
dynakeyword_write_curve_output_1 dynakeyword_write_curve_output_1 text Plain-text LS-DYNA *DEFINE_CURVE keyword block ready to be appended to or included in a simulation input deck.
