June 2025 monthly summary for ansys/pydpf-core focusing on feature cleanup, documentation clarity, and repository hygiene. Removed deprecated stress-tensor demonstration from the examples, preparing for a newer approach to stress-tensor workflows. This change reduces user confusion and support overhead while paving the way for a modern demonstration kit. Documentation was updated to surface mathematical operations examples to improve discoverability and align with user expectations (refs #2368). The work emphasizes long-term maintainability, clearer guidance for contributors, and a smoother onboarding experience for users exploring stress-tensor and matrix-operations examples.

May 2025 monthly summary focusing on the LS-DYNA beam results example script in ansys/pydpf-core. The work established a practical end-to-end demonstration for extracting, visualizing, and analyzing beam result types (axial force and stresses) across time steps, with a focus on identifying elements with maximum stress values and plotting their evolution over time. This enables faster validation workflows and more actionable insights from LS-DYNA data within the DPF framework.
