Overview
TCL Macro to generate plots from pch files. Designed originally to generate plots from PCH file but it was realised converting from PCH to ABF first speeds up operation greatly. The conversion from PCH to ABF happens automatically Now the script displays a dialog box for user to select input NASTRAN pch file, followed by a dialog box to create an ABF file. It then executes the command to convert from pch to abf format internally and plots data from the ABF file in HyperGraph (certain pre-defined components/requests only)
Usage/Installation Instructions
You will need to take the following steps:
1. Open Hypergraph
2. Go to File->Run->Tcl/Tk script
3. Select the TCL script.
Follow instructions as requested by macro. Now, hypergraph should start churning out the plots. Please be aware that the whole operation may take more than 1 hour to complete due to the heavy nature of the data file.
