D3PLOT 22.1
The Extra Time History (.xtf) File
The Extra Time History (.XTF) file
Defining output parameters in Ansys LS-DYNA
The following Ansys LS-DYNA control cards control output of this file:
| *DATABASE_BINARY_XTFILE |
Is mandatory. It controls output frequency and if you don't have this card you won't have an .XTF file. |
The contents of this file are determined by Ansys LS-DYNA, and you have no control over them.
It is intended primarily for time-history processing, but D3PLOT uses it to obtain the geometry and topology of springs, seat-belt types, joints, stonewalls and lumped masses. D3PLOT ignores the state information in it (use T/HIS to process that).
Generic contents of the .XTF file.
