PARSE PARAMETERS IN A FILE¶
Parses a solver input file (LS-DYNA, Madymo, or Nastran) and extracts its named parameters together with their current values into a tabular dataset. Use this worker to inspect or inventory all parameters defined in a deck before substituting new values in a downstream authoring step.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| File | file | file | — | ✓ | The solver input deck file to parse (e.g. a .k / .key LS-DYNA keyword file, a Madymo .xml/.mmf file, or a Nastran .bdf/.dat file); must be a valid text-based solver input format. |
| Solver Type | solver_type | select | lsdyna | ✓ | Solver dialect used to interpret parameter syntax: ‘lsdyna’ for LS-DYNA *PARAMETER keywords, ‘Madymo’ for Madymo parameter blocks, or ‘nastran’ for Nastran PARAM/DMAP entries; defaults to ‘lsdyna’. |
| Format | format | select | short | ✓ | Field-width format of the solver deck — ‘short’ (8-character fields, LS-DYNA default) or ‘long’ (16-character fields); leave at default ‘short’ unless the deck was authored in long format. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Parameters | parameters | dataset | Tabular dataset (rows = parameters) containing each parameter name and its parsed value as found in the input deck; suitable for direct inspection or as feed-in to a parameter-substitution worker. |
