Using SimVT Without Ansys LS-DYNA Results

The SimVT tool can can be run directly from the JavaScript menu in T/HIS (Tools → JavaScript → SimVT). This is useful if you want to use the tool without loading Ansys LS-DYNA results into T/HIS.

Steps in T/HIS

In this example we will correlate CSV data vs. ISO-MME data to demonstrate using both types of data.

1. Open T/HIS
2. Select Tools → JavaScript → SimVT
3. On the Correlation Setup window click Import ISO-MME or CSV… and select an ISO-MME index file (the extension should be ".mme", “.mmi”, “.chn” or “.iso”).
4. On the Correlation Setup window click Import ISO-MME or CSV… and select a CSV data file.
5. On the Correlation Setup window, select T1 as the "Reference test" and select T2 as the simulation.
6. Select the method you want to use for correlating.
7. Add/remove any channel matching rules that you require to match T1 channels to T2.
8. Select the channels you want to correlate in the channel list (or select all of them by clicking on the All).
9. Click Correlate. The setup window will disappear, and it will be replaced by three windows:
   1. Progress window 
   2. Correlation Table 
   3. Plotting Controls
10. Once the progress window has disappeared you can inspect the results on the Correlation Table and plot the correlation graphs by using the buttons on the table.
11. You can also perform corrective operations to the input curves.
