UNARCHIVE SIMULATION FILE

Extracts a compressed (archived) input file attached to a simulation record, making its contents available for downstream workflow steps. Use this worker whenever a simulation’s input deck or supporting file has been stored as a ZIP/tar archive and needs to be unpacked before processing.

When to use

Tagged: decompress, extract, input_file, simulation, tar, unarchive, zip.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
Simulation simulation_id remote_lookup Platform simulation record to operate on; drives the attachment lookup — required, select from the remote simulation registry.
Choose File input_file remote_lookup   Compressed attachment (ZIP, tar, etc.) belonging to the chosen simulation that should be extracted; leave unset to let the worker infer the default archive attached to the simulation.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Simulation Id simulation_id integer Integer identifier of the simulation record whose archive was extracted, passed downstream so subsequent workers can reference the same simulation context.
