Using pydpf to postprocess LS-DYNA results

[mhoeijm]

Do we already have the option to read, visualize, and post-process LS-DYNA d3plot results with pydpf? And if so, are there any examples available?

Hi @ansmhoeij , AFAIK postprocessing of LS-Dyna files is available from 2022R2. It supports d3plot, binout and moddynout files. I don't think there are examples exposed yet but the syntax is very similar to the one used for postprocessing of MAPDL result files. See screenshot from a demo below.

@pmaroneh thank you for the quick reply. I will have a look and let you know if I run into any problems.

Make sure to try out LS-Reader too, it has been developed by the LS-Prepost team:
https://pypi.org/project/lsreader/
It has many capabilities and is very fast.
