Cubit-CalculiX 2024.9

Hi everyone,
we made a update for the CalculiX Component for Cubit.
As always you can find the source and the binaries on Github.

So what’s new:
• reading and converting the results can now be done in parallel, the number of threads can be set in the options.
• added two new tabs in the Job Monitor. The .frd and .dat results can now be queried, ploted and exported as .csv directly in cubit

This is definitely nice to advertise here, there is a lot of room for tooling for CalculiX!

Was the Linux support always there, or is that relatively new?

The Linux support was always there. The windows build is relative new.

You don’t necessarily have to wait for a new project to try it. You can also use the component to convert already existing results.
Here is a example based on the heat exchanger tutorial.

First lets import the mesh and also add new element sets that can be later chosen in paraview.
After that we create a job with the same name as the result file (must be .frd results). After that we change the location for the working directory to the location of the result file.
Then we can load and convert the results. The converted results can then be opened in paraview.

#!cubit
reset
import abaqus "/home/user/precice/tutorials/heat-exchanger/solid-calculix/solid.inp"

#add blocks
set duplicate block elements on
block 2 add tet all with x_coord<0
block 2 name "test1"
block 3 add tet all with x_coord > 0
block 3 name "test2"

#load and convert results
ccx create job name solid
cd "/home/user/precice/tutorials/heat-exchanger/solid-calculix/"
ccx result load job 1
ccx result convert job 1
