th_to_csv_win64.exe does not convert contact forces correctly about openradioss

[sebastienVilleneuve]

Hi @wmcnCG

what you are seeing are impulse .
In order to have forces , you need to add /TH/TITLE card in the 1.rad file then rerun the engine .
( cf https://github.com/OpenRadioss/Tools/tree/main/output_converters/th_to_csv )

You will have a _TITLES file in same directory than the T01 , that is used by the th_to_csv converter .

Sébastien

Ah, great. Thank you for the quick response.

Hi,
yes, as mentioned by Sebastien, it is the impulse which is stored.
Please see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPZenaaDDak&t=298s
At time of 4:50 min. I'm explaining it more in detail.

Hope it helps you ?

Thanks and best,
Marian

@sebastienVilleneuve @MarianBulla
Adding /TH/TITLE to the engine file generated the _TITLES file and added the names to the output columns in the CSV (e.g., FNX, FNY, etc.). However, it did not convert the impulses to forces. Do you have a demo simulation where the forces appear correctly in the CSV file? Thanks.

Hi @wmcnCG

Can you share the model ?

Thanks,
Sébastien

[wmcnCG]

I cannot share it, sorry. I will see if I can recreate the issue using the BirdStrike example.
