Request output in different .op2 files

Request output in different .op2 files

Request output in different .op2 files

(OP)
Hi everybody

I have a little problem.
Is it possible to write different output in different .op2 files?
Let me do an example:
I have 100 elements (ID from 1 to 100), and I request the stress.

Is it possibile to have the stress for the elements in the range 1-50 into the file filename1.op2, and for the elements in the range 51-100 into the file filename2.op2?

Perhaps with a DMAP I can do that, but I need some help.

Thx

RE: Request output in different .op2 files

Hello!,
Simply create two groups, and in the NASTRAN OUTPUT REQUEST select one group for the nodal & elemental results, run the analysis, you will have your first *.op2. Select the other group and repeat the analysis and you will have the second *.op2.
Best regards,
Blas.

Thks for the prompt replay, but I can't do that.

More specifically it will be expensive, becuase I have to do some analyses and every one cost at least 90Hours.

For technical reasons I can't do a restart from the previous one so I have to find a different way.
