PARSES LS-DYNA KEYWORD INPUT TO GET HOLE SPECIMEN INFORMATION

Parses an LS-DYNA keyword input file to extract geometric and nodal information for a hole-type material specimen. Given a specimen part ID and reference node IDs for the punch, blank, die, and hole components, it returns a structured key-value summary of the specimen configuration. Use this worker when setting up or auditing hole-specimen simulations in a material characterization workflow.

Punch Node 2 punch_node_2 scalar 2 Node ID of the second reference node on the punch tool; default 2.
Punch Node 3 punch_node_3 scalar 3 Node ID of the third reference node on the punch tool; default 3.
Blank Node 1 blank_node_1 scalar 4 Node ID of the first reference node on the sheet blank used to track blank deformation; default 4.
Blank Node 2 blank_node_2 scalar 5 Node ID of the second reference node on the sheet blank; default 5.
Blank Node 3 blank_node_3 scalar 6 Node ID of the third reference node on the sheet blank; default 6.
Die Node 1 die_node_1 scalar 4 Node ID of the first reference node on the die tool used to define its position/orientation; default 4.
Die Node 2 die_node_2 scalar 5 Node ID of the second reference node on the die tool; default 5.
Die Node 3 die_node_3 scalar 6 Node ID of the third reference node on the die tool; default 6.
Hole Node 1 hole_node_1 scalar 7 Node ID of the first reference node located at or around the pre-punched hole edge; default 7.
Hole Node 2 hole_node_2 scalar 8 Node ID of the second reference node at the hole edge; default 8.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Hole Specimen Info hole_specimen_info keyvalue Key-value map containing parsed specimen metadata — including part ID, initial nodal coordinates for punch, blank, die, and hole reference nodes — ready for downstream characterization or calibration workers.
