Publisher's Description: |
WARP3D uses a file-based input and output system. Other (graphical) programs are used to generate models and to post-process the results. The MSC.Software Patran, for example, is used extensively by our group for these tasks - WARP3D has built-in features to interface with Patran for model construction and post-processing through standard Patran (2.5-style) neutral files and formatted/binary files of nodal and element results.
The company Quest Integrity Group offers the commerical software FEACrack which provides fully-integrated mesh generation and post-processing capabilities for complex fatigue and fracture analyses on Windows computers. FEACrack incorporates extensive, direct support for WARP3D to generate complete models containing cracks, to drive the execution of WARP3D for nonlinear analyses and to post-process results including specialized features for fracture parameters. The FEACrack software includes the latest release of the standard WARP3D distribution for Windows. The FEACrack developers collaborate with our group to provide users with fully updated access to WARP3D capabilities and have contributed source code contained in the open-source distribution.
In addition, we have recently developed a tool (pat2exII) which converts a Patran neutral file and associated formatted/binary nodal/element result files into an EXODUS II file compatible with Paraview (developed by Kitware, Inc., Sandia National Laboratories, and others). As EXODUS II files are also compatible with other meshing/visualization software originated at Sandia (i.e. CUBIT) we anticipate in the future it will be possible to forgo the use of Patran and use the Sandia tools instead. However, for now the tool is only useful for post-processing and visualization and is still in testing. It is available in the Downloads section and in included in the full distribution files.
Note: our research group does not have a business relationship with either MSC.Software, Quest Reliability, or Kitware.
