Node Coordinates, Stress in Output Table

Rahul_P1

Hi,

i want to create an Output Table with Optistruct. It should contain Node Coordinate and Element, Stress, connected Nodes, Component.

Can you give me a hint, how to do this?

Best regards

Kontrollturm,

This is possible through the GUI in HyperView during postprocessing, using the query panel. would that help or

Are you looking for optistruct to output such a table directly (csv file for example) ?

Hello,

yeah I saw that possibilty in HyperView, but I want to create this Output with an Script and HyperView has no Macro function for tcl, unlike HyperMesh. So it is really hard for me, to create a tcl macro to create that table. Thats why i wanted to do it in HyperMesh. Maybe you have an better idea.

Best regards

Kontrollturm,

Here are some ideas,

One is you can output .pch file from the optistruct run with stress and other results data,
see Altair OptiStruct > Reference Guide > Output Data > List of Files Created by OptiStruct (Alphabetical):
.pch file

this should be in a usable tabular format

Secondly It is possible to ouput data from HyperMesh using TCL scripts,

Please see below images

You need to download the script and then run this script from the downloaded location by going to file > run tcl tk from within HyperMesh.
see http://www.altairuniversity.com/support-forum/?mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=87

you will find this and other scripts in the altair script exchange, go to learning > script exchange from the altair university website or here http://www.altairhyperworks.com/Script-Exchange.aspx?%3ftop_nav_str=1
you will need to log in with your university mail id and login credentials you get after registering to the client centre.

search for the script by just entering export or some other relevant keyword in the keyword section.

once you have found the script click on the download button, once you have downloaded the script place it in a convenient location, then you need to do a file > run tcl tk from within HyperMesh. make sure you have a relevant model loaded in HyperMesh when you run the script.
