In a previous post about a simple Python script that scans a LS-DYNA input file to package all INCLUDED files recursively so the entire model can be compressed and sent to the recipient.
Based on some new suggestions, largely by Brian Wainscott, I have attached a revised script that handles the included files a little more nicely. It works by scanning the main input file and copies all INCLUDED files to a more generic directory (INCLUDES) and also updates the path in the main file.
You can download the script here : Download pack_dyna.py (Python script)
Next planned implementations would include the option to FTP or MAIL the compressed file with an optional message to the end user.
Hi Suri,
Thank you for the script. I have been using your script since v1.0. My problem is that, my include files always two directory away from my header. example:
../BIW/biw.key
../DOOR/door.key.
It will be nice if V1.1a can maintain the header file but only alter the directory line such as:
../BIW/biw.key to BIW/biw.key.

Hi Airfoil,
Thanks for your note. I have made that change among others and the new version will be avaible shortly.
