PARAMETERIZE AND INPUT FOR SIMULATION FILE¶
Injects a parameter dataset into a nominated input file belonging to an existing simulation, substituting keyword cards in-place and returning both the original and updated card text. Use this worker when a workflow needs to programmatically parameterize an LS-DYNA or similar deck file before solver submission.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation | simulation_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | Platform ID of the parent simulation whose input file will be parameterized; must reference an existing simulation record (remote lookup, required). |
| Input File | input_file_id | remote_lookup | — | ✓ | Platform file ID of the specific input/deck file attached to the selected simulation that will receive parameter substitutions (remote lookup filtered by simulation_id, required). |
| Parameter Dataset | parameter_dataset | scalar | — | Scalar value or serialized key-value dataset carrying the parameter names and their replacement values to be injected into the deck file; leave blank if only inspecting existing cards. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simulation Id | simulation_id | scalar | Platform ID of the simulation that was processed, passed through for downstream chaining. |
| Attachment | input_file_id | scalar | Platform file ID of the parameterized (updated) attachment as stored on the platform after substitution. |
| Old Parameters | old_cards | textarea | Full text of the original keyword cards extracted from the deck file before any parameter substitution was applied, useful for audit and diff. |
| New Parameters | new_cards | textarea | Full text of the updated keyword cards after parameter substitution has been applied, confirming the values that were written into the deck. |
