- Figure 1 – ASCII Interface
Purpose:
This interface is used to browse and plot time history data contained in various ASCII databases written by LS-DYNA like nodout, secforc etc…
There are approximately 30 different files that can be processed through this interface. Similar time history data output by LS-DYNA version 970 and beyond in binary files called binout can be processed using the Binout Interface on page 2.
