META Output

META is a powerful high-performance CAE post-processing software from BETA CAE systems. META provides an interface so you can automatically process the simulation results and export individual response values for optimization applications. With the META output node of optiSLang, the generated output files with the responses can be parsed and used as responses or output slots in optiSLang. This can be done using drag and drop from the list of exported responses after opening the response file in the META output node dialog box.

Expected File Content

The META response file is a machine readable ASCII file, see the following example for reference:

#OptimizerSetup Response & history File created by META post
RESPONSES
    1,max_stress,0.3512007
