RE: Nastran output4 file
Your best bet is to use the HDF5 output file (define MDLPRM,HDF5,1 in the bulk data). Your STRESS output request data will be written to an HDF5 file (.h5 extension). This file is an open source format defined by the hdf5 group (hdf5.org). On their website you can download a utility called hdf5viewer. This tool will allow you to open and view the .h5 file. Locate the stress output and then export it to a text file (use right click on the dataset). You could also write a tool in Python to read the .h5 file (use pytables to do this).
