Solver plugins
Most modern FEA codes allow user-programmable features so advanced
users can develop personalized capabilities for their complex problems.
In fact, we find that almost every really difficult non-linear analysis
jobs require some degree of customization, no matter which solver is being
used.
A pervasive quality in all the Z-set products is an extremely high
degree of extensibility for the end user. Now
- Database tool A utility set of programs for modifying
and reducing the results files.
- Results transfer utilities A set of interfaces for
transferring results between problems in a general way, including
sub-modeling, re-meshing, and 2D/AXI->3D modeling.
- Zprogram The Zprogram plug-in (standard
in 8.2) allows user-level interpreted scripting of meshing,
Zmaster control, boundary conditions, and post computations.
This scripting language is based on C++ syntax, and is fully
object-oriented. The advantage of the scripting interface is
that compile-ready C++ code can be output from the scripts!
Thus one can develop new capabilities in a friendly
interpreted scripting environment (with debugger), and when
the script is completed a highly efficient compiled plug in
can be generated from it.
