LSDYNA TIME ANALYSIS SEGMENTS (MULTI-BRANCH DECIMATION)¶
Reads BINOUT for an LS-DYNA simulation and returns per-entity per-segment values across eight branches (matsum, glstat, swforc, secforc, rcforc, nodout, deforc, abstat). Uses l2xml’s –reduce extraction so a 10-segment decimation of every entity comes back in a single worker call, ready for the Response Extractor’s Time Analysis tab to render bullet bars, gauges, and segment summaries. Multi-component branches (secforc, rcforc) emit resultant magnitude; glstat returns global energy channels as virtual entities.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | Reference to the LS-DYNA simulation whose binout will be read. | |
| Segments | segments | integer | 10 | Number of equal time segments the simulation is decimated into. Each entity returns a values[] of this length. | |
| Max entities per branch | max_entities_per_branch | integer | 25 | Hard cap on entities returned per branch so the payload stays bounded on large models. Per-branch ranking by peak value picks the top survivors. | |
| Branches | branches | text | matsum,glstat,swforc,secforc,rcforc,nodout,deforc,abstat | Comma-separated list of BINOUT branches to extract. Defaults to the eight branches the Time Analysis tab displays. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Branches | branches | dataset | { items: [{ id, label, unit, icon, accent, tint, entities: [{ id, name, peak, segments: [v0..vN] }] }], segments, skipped, note }. Empty items[] means no branches matched (the binout file may be missing or DATABASE_<branch> not enabled). |
