Hi, All:

 

May I ask how can I generate .op2 file in my OptiStruct analysis?

 

Thank you very much for your help.

    Hi, Tinh:

     

    Thank you very much for your help. Every time when I got a question, you replied me very quickly. I got a follow up question about moving things in AcuSolve. If I need to move the red block to the place of the grey box, and to make sure the left-bottom points are at the same location after moving. May I ask if there is a way to do it? Just like moving blocks in AutoCAD using reference points.


    Thank you.

    Do you have any solution to export op2 file to an ASCII file ?

     

    Thanks,

    I am not sure but if you can open op2 by hyperview then you could export that data to text format

    I can't open *k.op2 or *m.op2 file with hyperview ? Did you try it before ?

    Can you read op2 by python? HW already integrated python.

    Sample:

    I guess that the setup.py generates the compiled function test_op2. Where I can find it 'setup.py' ?

    Hi

    I think google can find it.

     

    Are you sure hyperview can't open op2? It's strange.

    This thread is 5yrs old!

    I ran your model, with no modifications at all to your set up, and got op2 (attached)
