Executing Nastarn *.bdf files

Executing Nastarn *.bdf files

Executing Nastarn *.bdf files

(OP)
Dear all,

Can anybody suggest me as how to execute many nastran input files (*.bdf) with a single command.
For a perticular load case i have created 358 *.bdf files. Usual way is to execute one after another. or create a batch file and execute it.But for a batch file, one needs to key in all the *.bdf file names, any quick way , kindly suggest.

Thanks in adavance

RE: Executing Nastarn *.bdf files

You should put all file in a directory then with the dos command dir >filename.txt you get all the file names in the file named filename.txt.
Open the file with a text editor, copy the file names and paste to a excel column.
In other columns write the nastran commands and export every things to a batch file to run under dos.
Hope isn't too complicate!!
