CREATES A PUNCH RESPONSE TEMPLATE FOR DATA EXTRACTION¶
Creates a Punch Response template that configures data-extraction sensors for punch-specimen simulations (force, displacement, diameter, and optional DIC strain). Use this worker to register a named response template before running post-processing or curve-matching workflows on punch test results.

Inputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Default | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| UIFTDS( | import_from_file | file | — | Optional file (UIFTDS format) used to pre-populate sensor definitions in the template; leave blank to define all sensors manually via the other inputs. | |
| Template Name | template_name | text | Generic Punch Tensile Template | ✓ | Human-readable name assigned to the new response template; defaults to ‘Generic Punch Tensile Template’ and must be unique unless delete_existing is set to ‘yes’. |
| Reference Curve | ref_curve | vector | — | ✓ | Reference (physical-test) curve supplied as a 2-column vector (X, Y) used to compute curve-match error against the simulation result. |
| Reference Type | ref_curve_type | select | fd | ✓ | Declares the physical meaning of ref_curve — choose from Force-Displacement (‘fd’), Engineering Stress-Strain (‘eng_ss’), True Stress-Strain (‘true_ss’), or DIC Strain vs Displacement (‘dic_strain’) so the template applies the correct comparison metric. |
| Specimen PID | specimen_pid | text | 1 | ✓ | LS-DYNA part ID (integer) of the punch specimen shell/solid elements used to scope strain and stress extraction. |
| Punch Node | punch_node_id | text | 1 | ✓ | LS-DYNA node ID (integer) of the punch tool node from which displacement is tracked during the simulation. |
| PCFI | punch_contact_id | text | 1 | ✓ | LS-DYNA contact interface ID (integer) whose contact force output is used as the punch force signal (PCFI — Punch Contact Force Id). |
| PNFPDC | punch_nodes | text | 1 | ✓ | Comma-separated list of three LS-DYNA node IDs that define the punch geometry circle used to calculate punch diameter during deformation (PNFPDC). |
| BNFBDC | blank_nodes | text | 1 | ✓ | Comma-separated list of three LS-DYNA node IDs that define the blank geometry circle used to calculate blank diameter during deformation (BNFBDC). |
| Delete Existing | delete_existing | select | no | ✓ | Controls whether a pre-existing template with the same name is deleted before creation; set to ‘yes’ to overwrite, leave at default ‘no’ to abort if a name collision occurs. |
Outputs¶
| Label | ID | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Template Id | template_id | integer | Integer primary key of the newly created Punch Response template (dataType: responsetemplate) in the d3VIEW platform, used as input to downstream post-processing or curve-match workers. |
