Running an OpenCourant analysis and looking at the results usually means juggling the solver, a converter and a separate postprocessor. OpenCourantRP (OpenCourant Run and Postprocess) puts all of it in one place: a small Windows desktop app that runs an OpenCourant deck pair with the bundled solver and shows the resulting .vtk files with PyVista, embedded in the same window.
What you get:
- Run a deck pair (or a single combined deck) with a live log, and convert compressed
/ANIM/GZIPresults to.vtk. - Results for displacements, velocities, accelerations, strains, stresses (von Mises, principal values, …), damage, temperature and energies, through the thickness for shells and in global or local axes.
- Parts, probes, min/max markers, deformation scale and an undeformed overlay.
- Snapshots to PNG, JPEG, TIFF or PDF, videos to MP4 or GIF, and presets that store a whole layout.
The installer includes the OpenCourant solver, so no Python and no separate solver install are needed (Windows 64-bit). Download it and learn more on the OpenCourantRP software page:
