Automated testing of DYNA3D/ParaDyn plot files was added to the DYNA3D/ParaDyn software quality assurance (SQA) test suite. The new capability extracts select data from the plot files generated during each verification run and compares it to the same baseline answers used to verify the problem. Deviations between baseline answers and plot file values are reported in the same manner as solution discrepancies, and differences in precision levels between the baseline answers and plot file results are accounted for. The new testing leverages the existing SQA test suite framework and test problems and the Python Mili reader and minimally increases the overall run time (< 5%) of the SQA test suite. This new capability provides incremental end-toend testing of the most common DYNA3D/ParaDyn simulation workflows.
