CREATE SIMULATIONS FROM ARCHIVE_FILE¶
Unpacks a compressed archive file (.zip, .7z, .tar, .tgz, .gz) and registers one or more simulations on the d3VIEW platform, optionally grouping them into a named study. Use this worker to bulk-ingest simulation runs distributed as archive packages into the platform’s simulation registry.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Archive File | archive_file | file | — | ✓ | Compressed archive containing the simulation files to import; accepted formats are .zip, .7z, .tar, .tgz, and .gz — this is the only required input. |
| Solver Type | solver_type | string | lsdyna | Solver associated with the imported simulations (e.g. ‘lsdyna’); defaults to ‘lsdyna’ and can be left unchanged for LS-DYNA decks. | |
| Main Input Tokens | main_input_tokens | string | main,Main,master,DynaOpt | Comma-separated filename substrings (e.g. ‘main,Main,master,DynaOpt’) used to identify the primary input file within each simulation directory; leave at default for standard LS-DYNA naming conventions. | |
| Input File Tokens | include_file_tokens | string | key,k,inc,dyn,response,.xy,gif,png,mov,mp4,csv,history,XPoint | Comma-separated filename extensions or substrings (e.g. ‘key,k,inc,dyn,csv,png’) that determine which files inside the archive are attached to each simulation; extend the default list only when non-standard file types must be included. | |
| Study Name | study_name | string | Simulations from Archive | Human-readable label for the study that groups all imported simulations together; defaults to ‘Simulations from Archive’ and can be customized to reflect the campaign or test series name. | |
| Directory Tokens | dir_tokens | string | /([0-9]+).([0-9])+/ | Regex pattern (default ‘/([0-9]+).([0-9])+/’) used to identify subdirectories inside the archive that each correspond to an individual simulation run; adjust when directories follow a non-numeric naming scheme. | |
| Archive Type | archive_type | string | generic | Layout convention of the archive (e.g. ‘generic’); defaults to ‘generic’ and should only be changed when the archive follows a vendor-specific or pre-defined folder structure. | |
| Simulation Name Prefix | sim_prefix | string | — | Optional string prepended to every generated simulation name, useful for distinguishing runs across multiple import batches; leave blank if no prefix is needed. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simulations | simulations | dataset | Dataset of simulation records (dataType: simulation) created on the platform, one entry per detected run directory within the archive. |
| Study | study | integer | Integer ID of the platform study object that groups all newly created simulations under the provided study name. |
