CAESES Input

This node is used for autoparametrization of CAESES batch mode script (*.fsc). After selecting this file, the node provides all supported inputs as a tree containing names, values, and coordinates. Each row can be added as a parameter or input slot using drag and drop.

Expected File Content

The input file content is shown in the following example:

openProject("turbineblade.fdb")
