Questions on FBD using H3D file

Burner2k

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.

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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.

Hi Burner2k

 

Please change the format GPFORCE to output2 as shown below.

 

Then in HyperView load .fem and .op2 file as shown below. Set Result-Math template to Advanced.

Thank you
