caeasciiR

The aim of this package is to read, edit and write CAE input decks into/with R. Currently, the package focus lies in Optistruct and Nastran decks, but the ultimate goal is to cover some more.

For non-R users, the main use today is to manage big text files, since it allows to isolate cards by type into include files. R users may find other features useful, like the possibility to group cards with continuation lines into single lines, for easier regex. These are main functions/features

femtoCaseBulk: reads fem files
bulk2expandedlines: reads bulk string into expanded lines
removeComments: Removes commented lines
linesToDF: reads lines vector into data frame
dfTolines: prints data frame into vector of lines
expandedlines2bulk: collapses lines vector into bulk string.
writeInclude: moves cards of certain types into an include and writes a master.
splitIntoIncludes: splits merged fem into a file with include structure, one include file per card. Can be used to test the processing functions.
