About

d3VIEW is a web-based tool that extracts information from LS-DYNA generated “d3hsp” files and presents it in a concise, user-friendly format.

Background
The tool was developed as a hobby project by Suri Bala to ease the review of user provided input and result files in a concise and efficient manner. Suri Bala works full-time at Livermore Software Technology Corporation.

Outlook
D3VIEW is continuing to grow into a more sophisticated tool with the release of Version 2.0 scheduled to be released before the end of year 2007. We are planning to have a hosted application to manage simulation data which will be available at no cost to users worldwide. You can view here for d3View 2.0 features.
