input format for scPOST

Dear Christophe,

Thank you for reaching out to the Cradle Community with your question. We're glad to hear that you find scPOST to be a valuable tool for post-processing.

I'm pleased to inform you that scPOST does indeed support a wide variety of formats beyond CFD. You can use it for post-processing results related to structural, multibody or acoustic analysis, among other possibilities. This is in fact interesting to have a clear picture of cases with multiphysics nature, or simply maintaining a workflow within an interface you're familiar with.

For more details on supported formats, please refer to our scPOST reference manual: User's Guide Postprocessor Reference - Menu Guide - [File] - [Open]. Here’s the list:

• Field file (*.fld, *.iFLD, *.fph, *.gph, *.cgns),
• Adams Solver Dataset file (*.adm),
• Marc post files (*.t16, *.t19),
• Nastran files (*.h5, *.nas, *.dat, *.bdf),
• time series file (*.tm),
• status file (*.sta),
• neutral file (*.neu, *.nfb),
• Parasolid file (*.xmt_txt, *.x_t, *.xmt_bin, *.x_b),
• IPC2581 file (*.xml, *.cvg),
• 3D-ROM file (*.3dr),
• initialization file (*.xenv),
• variable list file (*.hen),
• EMT file (*.xemt, *.emt),
• and Max/Min file (*.ot).

I'm also sharing a link to a recent video we posted in our CoSim Community page that might be of interest to you. It showcases scPOST in action within a multiphysics scenario involving fluid, structural, multibody, and acoustics results.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Kind regards,

Dear Oscar,

Thanks for your reply. That is great to see all these connections.

I can see that cgns format is supported. Is the storage data HDF5 supported?

Best regards,

Christophe

Dear Christophe, 

Thank you for your follow-up question. Yes, in the last Cradle version we expanded our support and now CGNS encoded in HDF5 format can be loaded in scPOST, in addition to ADF which was already available.

Best regards,

Oscar Lorenzo

Perfect!
Thanks for this precision.
Best regards,
Christophe
