Post processor

User interface for extracting data

Simplify your workflow

PostProcessor is a new user interface to ease users into using ppreduce and ppfilter.

ppreduce

The program ppreduce allows users to easily generate text or CSV files from data found in AVZ files. Most stress values, along with position of nodes, and agreggated stress values on components are available. With the UI of postprocessor the task of using ppreduce is made accessible to the user.

ppfilter

If your AVZ files are too large to visualize ppfilter can help reduce the file sizes.

  • Split files into smaller segments by timesteps
  • Reduce the amount of timesteps by skipping a number of steps
  • Filter out stresses that are not needed

Note that not all stresses are available in every files

Integrate into your custom workflow

The advanced options of ppreduce are exposed, allowing user to access the full functionality of program.

Automate and improve your workflow by building queries in postprocessor and reuse them in other files or automated them with custom batch scripts. Any command created by postprocessor can be ran on a command line, or in a batch file.

Check our post processing tools manual for instructions in creating more advanced reporting and extracting.
