Running a simulation with *PZIP and extracting with panzip

Generating a zip-compressed archive with the results at simulation run-time and using the command-line tool to extract the contents of that archive

To run the model, from a command line run:

run-extract.cmd

The contents of run-extract.cmd are:

 REM Run the solver with the *PZIP card to natively export .panzip
results
pan2 -s 24_extract_thermal > 24_extract_thermal.out
pan2 -s 24_extract_mechanical > 24_extract_mechanical.out

REM Extract thermal and mechanical results
panzip x 24_extract_thermal.panzip
panzip x 24_extract_mechanical.panzip

REM Extracted results are here. Import case files in Local sim
dir unzip

This automatically goes through the process of executing the thermal and mechanical simulation results, then immediately extracting those results to the unzip directory. The end of the process shown in the terminal is:

 Mesh file = ./24_extract_mechanical/results/24_extract_mechanical_24.geo

Finished extracting results to "unzip" directory

Zip file size = 2,025,701 bytes (4.51 %)
Case file size = 44,961,711 bytes
VTK file size = 62,159,924 bytes

CPU wall for processing = 00:00:18.72
CPU wall = 00:00:20.02

Finished panzip

Actual CPU times will differ from system to system.

Navigating to the unzip directory and querying the contents shows the extracted files:
