Can I visualize the strains from an LS-Dyna analysis in Paraview?

Export your model file from LS-DYNA into a format that Paraview can load (e.g. Nastran BDF) and then the simplest way to handle the result sets would be to export them into CSV files.

Reading Nastran .nas file and Results with .csv file

Harald, Here is the state file merge_arrays_state.pvsm (251.2 KB) Here’s what I did, I opened the two files then selected the .nas and .csv readers in the pipeline browser and then created the Programmable Filter with the following script: blk0 = output.GetBlock(0) tbl = inputs[1] blk0.GetCellData().PassData(tbl.GetRowData().VTKObject) The result is that all the arrays from the csv are now available on the cells.
