Zlsdyna#

Description#

This command serves a launching script for the Z-mat/LS-Dyna coupled simulations. The LS-Dyna interface requires compilation of a custom executable by the user before running. This executable is installed into the PUBLIC directory of the Z-mat distribution, which is where this script looks for it.

This command pipes all the console messages to a log file in the current working directory for reference.

Syntax#
