Abstract

Transient analyses make much more sense when one is able to see how the results change with time. Most existing post-processors only allow you to draw one image at a time and, while it is possible to assemble a sequence, producing a set of results can be very tedious.

This code allows you to access the Ansys LS-DYNA database directly and to draw line, hidden-line, continuous-tone, line contour, velocity arrow, greyscale and shaded-image plots for any results state in the file. It also allows you to store these images in the display device memory and to redraw them in sequence and so to produce animated graphics.
