Hello all,

 

Do you have any idea about how to open 'MSC Fatigue' analysis results in hyperview?

 

(MSC Fatigue creates .fef file which contains damage, life etc. results for each node)

    Do  you have option to extract this output in other format?

    For example Op2 or h3d file.

    Unfortunately no! 

     

    MSC fatigue only generates .fef and .fer files. .fef file contains damage values for each node.

     

    One possible solution may be that using fef file content(nodal Damage values) to generate a new file that compatible with hyperview.

     

    Is this possible?

    Can you share any of these files? Are they binary or ascii based?

    We can try converting or processing thru HWASCII reader.

     

    This supports as well appending of CSV file – assuming the MSC tool could as well support such export format.
