DM.plot2bc
Generation of *BOUNDARY_PRESCRIBED_MOTION cards or *INTERFACE_LINKING_NODE_SET binary file out of d3plot for a given node set.
Plot2bc reads nodal time history data from a LS-DYNA d3plot file and writes it into a LS-DYNA input format file with load curves and prescribed boundary condition cards or into an *INTERFACE_LINKING_NODE style file.
| usage: | plot2bc [options] |
options:
| -i nodelist-file | file with list of nodes (default: nodelist) format: one node per line; "*" is comment or *NODE keyword format (incl *NODE) |
| -all | all nodes from plot (only for -infmak) |
| -free | try to read node-list file in free format |
| -sort | sort node IDs in output in ascending order |
| -mult | check and prevent multiple node IDs (turns sorting on) |
| -g plotfile | LS-DYNA binary plot data file (default: d3plot) |
| -o result-file | name for resulting LS-DYNA input section (default: load_bc, plot.infmak or plot.csv) |
| -l offset | offset value for load curve IDs (default: 0) |
| -coor | read and write nodal coordinates |
| -dis |-vel |-acc | read and write nodal displacement, velocity or acceleration values (default: displacements) |
| -lt |-mt |-ut | read and write lower/middle/upper temperature (only choose ONE position) |
| -par | load curve scaling and offset as *PARAMETER |
| -csv | output fileformat is CSV |
| -infmak | output binary *INTERFACE_LINKING file |
| -lsda | binary output fileformat is LSDA (default) |
| -nolsda | binary output fileformat is old style (not recommended) |
| -x scl | file size scale factor for *INTERFACE file (~ x100Mbytes) (default: 70 for old style; 3000 for LSDA) |
| -ifid ID | interface ID (LSDA style INTERFACE file) (default: 1) |
| -iftit title | interface title (LSDA style INTERFACE file) |
| -v | version info |
| -h | help and usage |
