Understanding cmmessage.dat

All the codes used to describe every item in every analysis are described in the 'cmmessage.dat' file located in the data folder of the program installation folder. To help you understand it, the header of the file provides detailed information on the data block structure.

The cmmessage.dat file is found in:C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Simulation Moldflow Synergy 20xx\data\dat\cmmessage.dat

A typical data block inside the English version of the cmmessage.dat file may look like this:

----
MSCD 41910 1 0 0 0 0 0 5
       Wall shear stress - maximum         (at %7.3f) = %11.4G
    s,1,2
    Pa,1,1
----

This data tells you is that it is the content for message 41910.

There is one (1) line displayed

MSCD 41910 1

which is

Wall shear stress - maximum         (at %7.3f) = %11.4G

It is a standard message, as described by the code number 5. 9 would be an error message; 8 would be a warning, etc.

MSCD 41910 1 0 0 0 0 0 5

There are two (2) values that will be provided by the .out file, which are described by the two lines:

s, 1,2
Pa,1,1

The first entry, representing time and shown by SI unit (s), will be the second value in the .out file. The second line, representing pressure and shown by the SI unit (Pa), will be the first value in the .out file.
