Get deformation results in report file or PCL function

Get deformation results in report file or PCL function

(OP)
Dear all,

I have calculated the deformation of a beam (2D) in Patran/Nastran 2012. I can plot the deformation in Patran but I want to now the exact deformation along the length direction for further analysis in Matlab. How can I do this? Preferably, I would like to have a polynomial that describes the form of the deformed beam.

Thanks

I have found how to save a result (rpt) file which I opened in Excel and loaded in Matlab.

Thanks
