Description#
This utility is used to dump FORGE or REM3D databases and translate the
results into Z-set format for further post-processing or for initial
state initialization at the beginning of the Finite Element simulation.
The main purpose of this utility is to read and concatenate two or more
FORGE result files stored on the same mesh, to produce a single Z-set
results database. To read single FORGE or REM3D result files, an
alternative method is to use ****post_processing
with
***data_source
option, as described on page .
Syntax#
This utility works as follows:
****forge
***input
input_database_name[.fg3
| .may
| .in3
]
***output
output_name
***prefix
input_database_prefix ]
***mat
zmat_file_name ]
***from
incr_id ]
The execution command is:
Zrun -forge
file .inp
It will store results as output_name.ut
, output_name.node
, output_name.integ
.
***input
specifies the name of the FORGE result database.
***output
specifies the name of the resulting Z-set database.
***prefix
is the filename prefix of the FORGE results files, this keyword is used when multiple FORGE results are to be dumped and concatenated.
***mat
Z-mat material file name for SDV names translation. This option can be used when translating Z-mat/Forge simulation results.
***from
selection of specific maps starting from given FORGE increment.
Example#
The following example translates mesh as well as nodal and elemental results from FORGE computation :
****forge
***input upper_die_0d50.fg3
***output zset_results
****return
The following example will concatenate multiple FORGE results files with prefix upper_die_0d, to produce a single Z-set results database :
****forge
***prefix upper_die_0d
***output z_upper_die
****return
