hmpam

Translates information from a PAM-CRASH and PAM-CRASH 2G results file (.DSY file) to a HyperMesh binary results file or to a Hyper3D (.h3d) file.

Syntax

hmpam [-h3d] [arguments] <input file> <output file> [model file] [-options<Filename>]

Application

Translators

Description

hmpam no longer requires a license for ESI DSYLIB.

hmpam can also translate a model from a PAM-CRASH and PAM-CRASH 2G THP file. In this case, only the model is output (no results).

hmpam can also read dsy/thp files from PAM-CRASH 2003 version.

Inputs

[-h3d]
The output file is written in the h3d format and contains model data and results in one file. The selection of the option [model file] is not allowed in this case.
[-options<Filename>]
Specify the timesteps and components, that will be converted to the result file.
This input can be repeated, but it must be used as the last option.
The text file contains two keywords:
  • *time for the selection of the timesteps
  • *comps for the selection of the components.
For timesteps, the index of the timestep is defined, not the time of the timestep itself. After the keyword, a selection list defines the selection. A selection list is composed from several selections. The contents of the selection list depends on the order of the selections, e.g. [5] –[5] is different from –[5] [5].
A selection defines a set of integer values. It must be defined in one of the following two ways: [-] [I,J,K]
For example, [2] for adding 2, -[5] for subtracting 5 from the list, or [3,5] to select from 3 to 5 with increment 1 (3,4,5), or [1,6,2] to select from 1 to 6 with an increment of 2 (1,3,5). [all] defines all existing timesteps respectively, components.
Example: The following components exist in the model: {5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12}*comps [all] -[2,16,3] [8] –[9,10] selects the components 6,7,8, and 12.*time [all] -[10,20,1] [15]

Outputs file to an H3D file instead of to an hmresults file. The file includes model and results information that was translated. The model must contain geometry for it to be output to an H3D file.
The following options can also be used:
-disk
Translation is performed on disk (default off)
-size
