# #
# The translation inputs are categorized into different sections. #
# #
# Section lines start with "* " #
# Data lines start with "- ". #
# #
#############################################################################
# #
# FILES Section #
# ------------- #
# #
# This section specifies all the files that needs to be read into #
# VMoveCAE. This is a mandatory section. #
# #
# Usage Example: #
# ------------- #
# #
# * FILES, FOLDER="/home/vcollab/models" #
# - "viewer_tutorial.odb", TYPE=ODB #
# #
# File names are specified in the data lines. File names can be #
# enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces or any special characters. #
# #
# Section Options: #
# --------------- #
# #
# FOLDER: Base folder. When a base folder is specified, all the relative #
# paths are considered to be relative to the base folder. #
# #
# Data Options: #
# ------------- #
# #
# TYPE: File type. Supported values are: #
# - ABAQUS_ODB #
# - ABAQUS_INP #
# - FEMFAT_UFF #
# - NCODE #
# If not specified, VMoveCAE tries to auto-detect the file type. #
# CONTENT: Tells VMoveCAE what to read from specific file. If not #
# specified, VMoveCAE handles it automaticaly. #
# Supported values are: #
# - MODEL #
# - ENTITY_SETS #
# - RESULTS #
# #

* FILES, FOLDER="/home/vcollab/models"
- viewer_tutorial.inp, TYPE=ABAQUS_INP, CONTENT=ENTITY_SETS
- viewer_tutorial.odb, TYPE=ABAQUS_ODB, CONTENT="MODEL, RESULTS"
- viewer_tutorial.cax, TYPE=VCOLLAB

# #
# PARTS Section #
# ------------- #
# #
# This section tells VMoveCAE how to group elements into parts, what #
# parts to translate and what parts to filter. This is an optional #
# section. If not specified, VMoveCAE uses default part grouping #
# element sets for Abaqus models) and exports all parts into the #
# CAX file. #
# #
# Usage Example: #
# ------------- #
# #
# * PARTS, GROUPING=element-set #
# - STD*, FILTER #
# - HB* #
# #
# Part names are specified in the data lines. Part names can be #
# enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces or any special characters. #
# #
# Section Options: #
# --------------- #
# #
# GROUPING: Part grouping to be used. Supported values: #
# - property-id #
# - material-id #
# - element-set #
# - element-and-face-sets #
# #
# Data Options: #
# ------------- #
# #
# FILTER: Filters the part from Cax output. #
# #
#############################################################################
* PARTS, GROUPING=element-and-face-sets
- STD*, FILTER
- _Whole*, FILTER
- *TETRA_MESH*, FILTER
- "_ALL ELEMENTS", FILTER
- *WarnElem*, FILTER
#- Part*
#############################################################################
# #
# RESULTS Section #
# --------------- #
# #
# This section tells VMoveCAE what results to translate and what results #
# to filter. This is an optional section. If not specified, VMoveCAE #
# exports all results into the CAX file. #
# #
# Usage Example: #
# ------------- #
# #
# * RESULTS #
# - Displacement, SOURCE=U #
# - NT #
# - Stress, SOURCE=S, THRESHOLD=75 #
# - Elemental Stress, SOURCE=S, POSITION=E #
# #
# Result names are specified in the data lines. Result names can be #
# enclosed in quotes if they contain spaces or any special characters. #
# Alternately, users can specify the source result name in the native #
# CAE solver instead of using VCollab result name. #
# #
# Data Options: #
# ------------- #
# #
# FILTER: Filters the result from Cax output. #
# SOURCE: Name of the variable as specified by CAE solver #
# POSITION: Whether the Cax file should provide nodal (N) or #
# elemental (E) values. #
# DERIVED: Name of the derived component that needs to be extracted #
# THRESHOLD: Percentage of averaging threshold to be used (similar to #
# Abaqus viewer) #
# #
#############################################################################
* RESULTS
#- U
#- S, DERIVED=VON_MISES, THRESHOLD=75
#- S, DERIVED=MAX_PRINCIPAL, THRESHOLD=75
#- S, DERIVED=MIN_PRINCIPAL
#- S, DERIVED=XX, POSITION=E

# #
# STEPS Section #
# ------------- #
# #
# This section tells VMoveCAE what instances to translate and what #
# instances to filter. This is an optional section. If not specified, #
# VMoveCAE exports all instances into the CAX file. #
# #
# Usage Example: #
# ------------- #
# #
# * STEPS #
# - STEP=1:100:10, INCREMENT=-1 #
# #
# Step numbers are specified in the data lines. A range can be be #
# specified using ":" as a separator. "-1" can be used to refer to the #
# last step. "ALL" refers to all the available steps. #
# #
# Data Options: #
# ------------- #
# #
# STEP: Step numbers are specified in the data lines. A range can be be #
# specified using ":" as a separator. "-1" can be used to refer to #
# the last step. "ALL" refers to all the available steps. #
# INCREMENT: Increment number of the step to translate. A range can be #
# be specified using ":" as a separator. "-1" can be used to #
# refer to the last increment. #
# TIME: Time of the step/frame that needs to be translated. #
# FREQUENCY: Frequency of the step/frame that needs to be translated. #
# #
