IDEAS has a universal file, does ANSYS have one?
(OP)
IDEAS has a universal file in which much of the node, element, displacement data can be stored. Does ANSYS have anything of this sort. I have tried to find it, but it seems that node files are stored separately from element files and displacement files.
Has anyone looked into this before?

RE: IDEAS has a universal file, does ANSYS have one?
ansys does have a provision to write archive files. you can use it to store all the node, element and load data in a single ascii file. in the GUI the path is :
Main Menu>Preprocessor>Archive Model>Write (for writing)
Main Menu>Preprocessor>Archive Model>Read (for reading)
in command mode CDWRITE and CDREAD can be used. please check your ansys manual for details on how to use these.
hope this serves your purpose

IDEAS has this universal file that is a real mess to look at, but will ultimately be workable. I'm going to look to see if the ANSYS file is cleaner.
