IMPORT SIMULATION FROM SERVER¶
Creates a new simulation record on the d3VIEW platform by importing one or more files directly from a server path (no upload required). Use this worker when simulation result files already reside on a mounted server volume and need to be registered as a platform simulation without transferring data.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation Name | sim_name | text | — | ✓ | Human-readable name assigned to the new simulation record; must be unique within the target project and is required. |
| Simulation Description | sim_desc | textarea | — | Optional free-text description providing context about the simulation (e.g., load case, model version, analyst notes); leave blank if not needed. | |
| Simulation Tags | input_sim_tags | text | — | Optional comma-separated tags to classify the simulation for search and filtering within the platform (e.g., ‘frontal,barrier,v2.3’). | |
| Files | files | remote_file | — | ✓ | One or more server-side file paths (browsed via /storage2 file explorer) to import; select all relevant result files (e.g., d3plot, binout, .out) for the simulation. |
| Make A Copy | copy_over | string | no | Controls whether the server files are copied into platform-managed storage (‘yes’) or referenced in-place (‘no’, default); choose ‘yes’ if the source files may be moved or deleted. | |
| Solver Type | solver_type | string | LS-DYNA | Solver type associated with the imported files; defaults to ‘LS-DYNA’ — set to ‘Nastran’ when importing Nastran result sets so the platform applies the correct post-processing parsers. | |
| Project ID | input_project_id | remote_lookup | — | Platform Project ID under which the new simulation will be registered; looked up from the user’s project list — leave null to assign to the default project. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation Id | simulation_id | integer | Integer ID of the newly created simulation record on the platform; use this in downstream workers (e.g., post-processing, reporting) to reference the imported simulation. |
