Locating keyword deck in T/HIS

T/HIS can automatically locate an associated Ansys LS-DYNA keyword file to load in a linked PRIMER session. Model name is written to the ztf file and if this model exists then it is auto-loaded in PRIMER. If the .ztf file is missing, the approach depends on filename convention:

If you use the Ansys / LST results filename convention (d3thdt, xtfile):

• T/HIS looks to see if there is a single Ansys LS-DYNA keyword file (.key/.k/.kby or a .gz/.zip variant thereof) in the working directory and auto-loads it in PRIMER.

If you use the ARUP results filename convention (.thf, .xtf):

• T/HIS looks to see if a [job].thf has been loaded. If yes, T/HIS looks for a matching [job].key/.k/.kby or a .gz/.zip variant thereof.
• If a [job].thf is not found, T/HIS tries a similar logic with a potential [job].xtf file.
• Failing all of that, T/HIS looks to see if there is a single Ansys LS-DYNA keyword file in the working directory.
• The final fall-back, as always, is for you to manually select an input deck to load in PRIMER.
