Patran/Nastran doesn´t generate the .XDB file
Patran/Nastran doesn´t generate the .XDB file
(OP)
Hello,
i´m doing an analysis, but when is time to get the results (.XDB file) there´s not any file in the working directory
checking the .F06 file, it says:
*** SYSTEM FATAL MESSAGE 6357 (SEP1A)
NO GRID POINTS FOUND
Someone know something about this or is having the same issue?
also is giving me other warnings:
*** SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE 6299 (PARCPU)
NO PARALLEL PROCESS CREATED
*** SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE 3001 (SEP1X)
THE INPUT DATA BLOCK NAMED GEOM1QS AT POSITION 2 DOES NOT EXIST.
*** SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE 3001 (SEP1X)
THE INPUT DATA BLOCK NAMED GEOM2QS AT POSITION 3 DOES NOT EXIST.
attached are the .f06 & .f04 that the software is giving me
Thanks!

I copied your *.f06 file and remained only the below part in the *.f06 file and saved it like that. Its size was smt like 1.04KB. So, you definitely have an include file if you have a model of at least 100-200 elements. The size of your total mathematical model (total size of bdf and other INCLUDE *.bdf/*.dat files) should be more than 1KB - probably smt at least of 50-100KB or even more depending on your model's size.
There are 2 possibilities:
- Either you have an "INCLUDE" card somewhere in your *.bdf file and you are missing it in your original *.bdf file that you are analyzing in Nastran, (or you have the "INCLUDE" card already - but the file name mentioned at your INCLUDE card is missing from your folder - you can search for this file name in your workshop folders if you can't see it in your current analysis folder)
- And/Or, (if you already have that "INCLUDE" card in your *.bdf file), you are missing parameters such as "SPC= ", "LOAD= "& others. Refer to an already compiled working *.bdf file in your Nastran folder, you will understand what I mean. You should have Nastran cards like "SPC= ", "LOAD= " & others before "BEGIN BULK" line (at the end of what I copy pasted from your *.f06 file).
- If none of the above 2 works, or confuses you, can you also upload your *.bdf file and any other file that was mentioned in your INCLUDE line of that *.bdf file here. I don't have Nastran, but I can tell what is missing if it is only a matter of Nastran card arrangements. Also some introduction of your load/bcs (force, pressure, spc, displacement etc) would help as well.
