Hi. I have applied a temperature of 35 °C (through the panel Analysis-->Temperatures) on some of the nodes of my model. When I open the file .fem the id of the node is right next to the value of the temperature. How could one understand what the value of the temperature is just by looking at the file .fem? He or she could say, in my opinion, that the temperature is 5, or 35, or 335...

 

TEMP                   3             237335.0

TEMP                   3             237835.0

    Follow format...

    It seems to me short field format,so count 8 characters for each

    After 24 characters length(include spaces as well), temperature value starts

    8 characters         8 characters          8 characters             8 characters

    TEMP                       ID                          NODE ID           Temperature value 

     

    If you see 16 characters space,then it should be long field format ,count 16 instead of 8

     

    Usually,first and last 8 characters are left justified,in between can be any thing left/right/middle justified..depends on the solver

    Hi Chait. Actually after 24 characters the temperature value starts. How did you know that (about the 24 characters)? Because I have not been able to find it.

    There are three formats followed for solver input deck.Short field,long field and free format.I found this on Hyperworks help files.
