SIMULATION CONNECTION INFO (PEACOCK)¶
Returns the part-to-part connectivity for an LS-DYNA simulation by running Peacock C++ (keyword_conn) on the simulation’s main input deck. Each connection carries its type (spotweld / beam / spring / nodal-rigid-body / joint / tied-contact / adhesive), the two part ids it joins, end coordinates, length, mass and stiffness. The result is cached per simulation (static per model) and returned on subsequent calls unless force_refresh is set. Backs the Connections tab of the Response Extractor and the connection-to-part load-transfer analysis.
Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | Reference to the LS-DYNA simulation whose main input deck Peacock will parse for connectivity. |
| Force Refresh | force_refresh | string | no | When yes, ignores the cached connections and re-runs Peacock. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Connections | connections | dataset | One row per connection: connection_id, connection_type, from_part_id/to_part_id, from/to coordinates, length, mass, stiffness, stiffness_type. |
| Connection Type Summary | type_summary | dataset | Count of connections per connection_type. |
| Connection Count | count | number | Total number of connections. |
| Distinct Parts | part_count | number | Number of distinct part ids referenced by the connections. |
| From Cache | cached | text | yes when served from the per-simulation cache, no when freshly generated by Peacock. |
| Source | source | text | cache or peacock. |
