The filename convention preference determines how LS-DYNA filenames are referred to by REPORTER in library scripts etc. If you are using Oasys SHELL then you should use Arup naming.
The program executable options would only be useful if you want to use an older version of D3PLOT , PRIMER and/or T/HIS for some reason.
If REPORTER is started in batch mode with the -batch command line argument then on Windows D3PLOT , PRIMER and T/HIS will be run without any windows being shown. Setting the checkbox will set this option when running REPORTER interactively.
It may occasionally be necessary to pass extra arguments to D3PLOT , PRIMER or T/HIS when generating a report. Extra arguments to pass can be given in the D3PLOT , PRIMER and T/HIS textboxes.
The
options allow you to change how properties
files are reloaded in
D3PLOT
.
By default when D3PLOT reads a properties file it only alters the blanking status of parts and elements that are in the file. Any parts that are not in the file will not be affected. The default for parts that are not in the file is to leave them unblanked. This means that if you record a properties file for one model and replay it on another model which has extra parts, the extra parts will not be blanked. With the
option set D3PLOT will blank the model before reading the properties file so any extra parts not in the file will be blanked.
Older versions of D3PLOT always wrote the blanking status of elements as well as parts to the properties file, even if all of the elements in the part were blanked or unblanked and just writing the part status would be sufficient. If a properties fie recorded for one model was used for another model which had some remeshed parts then the elements in the properties file would not match the actual elements in the model for the remeshed parts. This could result in some of the elements not being blanked or unblanked correctly. With the option set D3PLOT will ignore any elements when reading the properties file and only consider parts.
