CREATES A SHEAR RESPONSE TEMPLATE FOR DATA EXTRACTION

Creates a reusable Shear Response extraction template that captures force, displacement, and width node references for a shear specimen simulation. Use this worker to register a named response template that can subsequently drive curve-match comparisons between physical test data and LS-DYNA shear coupon results.

Inputs

Label ID Type Default Required Description
UIFTDS import_from_file file   Optional file (UIFTDS format) from which sensor/node definitions are pre-populated into the template; leave empty to configure sensors manually.
Template Name template_name text Generic Shear Tensile Template Human-readable name assigned to the new response template (default: ‘Generic Shear Tensile Template’); must be unique unless delete_existing is set to ‘yes’.
Reference Curve ref_curve vector Reference experimental curve (force-displacement, engineering stress-strain, true stress-strain, or DIC strain vs. displacement) used as the physical-test baseline for curve-match error computation.
Reference Type ref_curve_type select fd Declares the axis convention of the reference curve: ‘fd’ = Force vs. Displacement, ‘eng_ss’ = Engineering Stress vs. Strain, ‘true_ss’ = True Stress vs. Strain, ‘dic_strain’ = DIC Strain vs. Displacement; must match the units and axes of ref_curve.
Elastic Modulus emod text 10 Elastic (Young’s) modulus of the shear specimen material used in stress-strain conversion; typical units are GPa or MPa — must be consistent with the simulation deck (default: 10).
Poisson Ratio pr text 0.3 Poisson’s ratio of the specimen material used for lateral strain calculations; dimensionless, typical range 0.0–0.5 (default: 0.3).
Specimen PID specimen_pid text 1 LS-DYNA Part ID of the shear specimen element set from which stress and strain responses are extracted (default: 1).
Section Force Id force_cross_section_id text 1 LS-DYNA cross-section (SECTION_FORCE) ID used to extract the resultant shear force time-history (default: 1).
N1IOL disp_node1_id text 1 Node 1 ID or label (N1IOL) defining the first point of the displacement gauge length along the loading axis (default: 1).
N2IOL disp_node2_id text 2 Node 2 ID or label (N2IOL) defining the second point of the displacement gauge length along the loading axis (default: 2).
WN1IOL width_node1_id text 1 Width Node 1 ID or label (WN1IOL) defining the first point of the transverse width measurement used for engineering strain computation (default: 1).
WN2IOL width_node2_id text 2 Width Node 2 ID or label (WN2IOL) defining the second point of the transverse width measurement (default: 2).
Delete Existing delete_existing select no Controls collision handling: ‘no’ (default) raises an error if a template with the same name already exists; ‘yes’ silently removes the existing template before creating the new one.

Outputs

Label ID Type Description
Template Id template_id integer Integer primary key of the newly created shear response template object (dataType: responsetemplate) in the d3VIEW platform, used to reference this template in downstream extraction or calibration workers.
