Printing results in .dat file

(OP)
Hello all,

I am trying to print my results in the .dat file, and it seems that doing this through the input file is the only way (i.e. can not do this through cae).  Can someone please tell me where I am going wrong with my input file to achieve this. Thanks.

RE: Printing results in .dat file

Why don't you use phyton to read in the .odb file? and then write it to a file you want?

Hi Krikke81,


Thanks for you advice, I have never used pyton, is it something your can explain easily or am I going to need to learn this all from the start.

Thanks
