(OP)
Hi,
i'm working now on a program to extract results from .f06 such as EIGENVALUES, OLOADS and other informations.
my program is made to extract result by isolating information delimited with what i call Marker_Map(example :A P P L I E D L O A D) and the line marking 'PAGE'.

example :

0 *** T3 *** A P P L I E D L O A D M A X / M I N V A L U E S U M M A R Y RESULTS FOR SUBCASE 10126
MAXMIN OPTIONS: SET=ALL, CID=BASIC, MAX=1, MIN=1, COMP=T3
POINT ID. TYPE CID T1 T2 *** T3 *** R1 R2 R3
1 G BASIC 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00
36 G BASIC 5.000000E+02 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00 0.000000E+00

Except that if the block of information is too long there's 'PAGE' lines before the end of the block.
i need to know how make Nastran print .f06 without limiting long blocks with PAGE lines.

Thanks.

RE: Pages in .f06

You can use the case control command LINE=xxxx to set the number of lines per page. Set this to a large number to eliminate the page breaks.
You can also do the same thing on the NASTRAN card with LINES=xxxxx

Good luck,

Joe

thank you Joe,
indeed the LINE command does so, BUT...:
if i set it to a large number it raises a FATAL ERROR and i think it's because of this : in the Quick Ref. of nastran, the command MAXLINES (limiting the total lines in f06 file) works like this: citation from the QUICK:

"The code actually counts the number of pages and assumes that the number
of lines output is the number of lines allowed per page, specified by the
“LINES” command, times the number of pages."


actually even if a data block contains 1 line NASTRAN considers the number of line (in this bloxk) as specified in LINE command.
And this doesn't help.
i'm looking for how to make NASTRAN print f06 the way i want with no risks even in the extreme cases.
