I'm running a random frequency response analysis in NASTRAN with a PSD input. I'm asking for the PSD of element stresses as output. My problem is that no matter what is the output medium that I define ( STRESS(SORT1,PLOT,REAL,PSDF) or STRESS(SORT1,PRINT,REAL,PSDF) ) I always get the output in the .f06 file.

For a small model then I get a huge .f06 file and my intension is to run a huge model...

Is there any way to get my PSD output only in the .op2 file?

Thanks
