Transfering results from Femap to Patran
Transfering results from Femap to Patran
(OP)
Hi All,
Currently working on a large model with a section modeled and meshed by another company. I have used this section of the model to update our mesh and run the analysis. i would like to send the mesh of their model back to them so that they may review it.
Problem is that we are using Femap v10 and they are using Patran 2009r1. Is there anyway that I export the model with results included. The Femap Neutral is not working as it is causing errors when they go to import the file.
Regards,
Jeffrey

In patran they can import the *.bdf to load the model and then import the .op2 for the results.

I am definitely getting the feeling that it is not possible to transfer the results to them.

I have an idea that may work. Will post it, if it does work

In this way your .op2 file will be much smaller.
from Nastran QRG:
"SET 1 consists of elements 1, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 20, 22, 24, and 26.
SET 1=INCLUDE 1, 5, 10 THRU 15 EXCEPT 12, INCLUDE 20 THRU 26 BY 2"
and ask Stress or whatever only for defined SET:
STRESS=1
Be aware that You can't in the same run ask also for the full solution !
