THIS FUNCTION EXTRACTS THE FRINGE VARIABLES FROM D3PLOTS AND RETURNS THEM IN A 3D COMPACT FORM THAT CAN BE VIEWED IN A WEB BROWSER

Extracts fringe variables (e.g. von Mises stress, effective plastic strain, triaxiality, displacement) from LS-DYNA d3plot binary databases and converts them into a compact JS3D file for interactive 3D visualization in a web browser. Use this worker to generate browser-viewable 3D contour/fringe animations directly from d3plot results.

When to use

Classification: process.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
File Name filename string d3plot   Base name of the d3plot file to read (default: ‘d3plot’); used with the File Condition to locate the correct result file on disk.
File Condition file_condition string eq   String-matching rule applied to the file name when searching for d3plot files; options are ‘eq’ (exact match, default), ‘starts_with’, ‘ends_with’, or ‘anywhere’.
Output Filename Name outputfilenamename string output.js3d   Name of the output JS3D file that will be written (default: ‘output.js3d’); must include the .js3d extension.
First State first_state scalar 1   Integer index of the first d3plot state (time step) to include in the extraction (default: 1, i.e. the first available state).
Last State last_state scalar 9999   Integer index of the last d3plot state to include; set to a large sentinel value (default: 9999) to capture all available states.
Increment increment scalar 1   Step increment between extracted states (default: 1); increase to sub-sample states and reduce output file size.
Fringe Variables fringe_variables scalar eps   Fringe quantity to embed in the JS3D file; choose from ‘vm’ (von Mises stress), ‘eps’ (effective plastic strain, default), ‘triaxiality’, or ‘disp’ (resultant displacement).

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
js3d_write_file_output_1 js3d_write_file_output_1 view Browser-renderable JS3D view file containing the extracted 3D fringe contour data for all requested states; open directly in d3VIEW’s web 3D viewer.
