Hi experts,

 

I'm using SimLab to export Nastran Solver Input Files.

It's different between Small and Large Field option, when I open it in text format.

 

Anyone could explain me through this?

    Large field format allows 16 characters per field instead of the normal 8, extract here from Optistruct Manual (which uses same syntax as Nastran)
