Questions on FBD using H3D file

Hi,

I typically work with Nastran solver and thus am more familiar with exporting solver deck to Nastran via HM/HW.

 

Anyways, I was just doing a test run for Optistruct and I did not touch any of the control cards section. I just created a load step and selected the SPC & load cards along with required output vectors. One of the outputs I requested is GPForce. I submitted the job to Optistruct & sure enough, the analysis ran without any issues. However, when I open the files in to HV and try to do a FBD analysis, I get an error.

Just clicked on 'Optistruct' button in this panel to submit the job for analysis.

Importing the model & results (?) file in to HV with Advanced Math template.

And the error when invoking FBD option.

 

I could open .out file in a text editor but I was not able to see any results like element/grid based outputs like I usually see in a Nastran F06 file. Not able to make out if the solver actually considered GPForce option even though I have specified the same in HM.

 

I am sure the above is basic but would appreciate help.
