Latest version of the gui scripts, this is a combination of earlier iterations of the tools by github OpenRadioss contributors: hotaosa and PaulAltair

...

In order to facilitate easier working with OpenRadioss, some simple python/tk based guis (.exe version of older mk3 tools available for windows) have been created for running jobs, queuing jobs and converting anim files to vtk or d3plot and converting T01 files to csv. The gui job submission tool sets all required environment variables, so it makes getting started with OpenRadioss much easier!

The zip files linked below contain scripts for windows and for linux (for linux, if using the zip download, the files/folders will need to be set writable/executable after extraction, the tar.gz does not require this)

Installation and Launch

Expand
title Windows Installation and Launch
Windows Installation and Launch The script folder (win_scripts_mk3 or mk5) should be extracted to the installation folder of OpenRadioss (at the same level as exec, hm_cfg_files etc), the scripts work only from this directory level currently The initial contents of the folder appear as below, the mk5 gui requires python installation due to the interaction with vortex radioss d3plot converter module and does not include an exe version. The main gui tool is the the 'openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.py’ file. The mk5 version also includes a d3convert.py script to call the Vortex-Radioss d3plot python libraries. For the mk3 windows version, there is also an .exe version of the gui for which python is not a pre-requisite, it may be used directly, 'openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.exe’ can be launched from windows explorer on double click. If the tools for anim-vtk or th-csv conversion are required, they should be located in the exec folder with the radioss executables Windows Desktop Shortcut (Optional) It is possible to create shortcut Links for the exe or python tools with the form e.g.: Target for exe (mk3 version only): full_path_to\win_scripts_mk3\openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.exe Target for Python: C:\Windows\pyw.exe “full_path_to\win_scripts_mk5\openradioss_run_script_for_windows_mpi_ps.py" Start In Folder full_path_to\win_scripts_mk5\ You may also ‘change icon’ to the one in the included icon folder

title Linux Installation and Launch
Linux Installation and Launch The script folder (linux_scripts_mk5) should be extracted to the installation folder of OpenRadioss (same level as exec, hm_cfg_files etc), the scripts work only from this directory level currently. If the tools for anim-vtk, th-csv conversion are required, they should be located in the exec folder with the radioss executables bash shell, and python with tk is a pre-requisite in linux not all linux distros necessarily include python/tk by default, e.g. lubuntu has it, but for ubuntu-mate following is needed Code Block sudo apt-get install python3-tk In linux, the content of the linux_scripts_mk5 folder is as below, the ‘openradioss_run_script_for_linux_mpi_ps.py’ file is the main gui, the d3convert.py file is included in the gui directory if mk5 version is installed. in order to launch it, enter the linux_scripts_mk5 folder in a terminal window open it with python3, e.g. : Code Block language bash python3 openradioss_run_script_for_linux_mpi_ps.py Linux Desktop Shortcut (Optional) It is possible to create a clickable desktop/menu icon for linux: add/create a file: ./local/share/applications/openradioss.desktop (make executable) content of form e.g.: Code Block [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=OpenRadioss Exec=bash -c "cd /home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk5 && /usr/bin/python3 /home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk5/openradioss_run_script_for_linux_mpi_ps.py" Icon=/home/user/OpenRadioss/linux_scripts_mk5/icon/ross.png This will add a shortcut to desktop, menus: then can be pinned to desktop also:

Script Usage (windows/linux)

The gui usage is the same in both linux and windows, the gui takes input file and a number of OMP/MPI processors (-nt, -np) as arguments, there are also options for running single precision version, and having Anim-vtk, Anim-d3plot and TH-csv conversion performed at end of the run.

Submission gui

...

Job Input file can be Radioss format Starter (_0000.rad) Radioss format Engine (_0001.rad, _0002.rad etc.) or Dyna format .k or .key file

...

If -np is 1 then the SMP (OMP) version of OpenRadioss is run, if -np is > 1 then the SPMD (MPI) version of OpenRadioss is run

If ‘sp’ box is checked, the extended single precision version of OpenRadioss will be run (if self compiling, this version is not compiled by default, see compilation guides)

...

...

Run Window

The job runs in a window titled with the run name, with some option buttons at the bottom:

...

Queue Window

it is possible to submit further jobs from the submission gui after the first and they will be queued for running when the currently running job completes, the queue can be checked and edited, by clicking the ‘Show Queue’ button in the submission gui.
