Patran files
The following results files can be read by Patran (MSC Software); these files are written when the optional *ADDP card is enabled in the thermal and mechanical input files.
File name | Result type |
aa_bbbbb.tmp | Nodal temperature for Patran post-processing |
aa_bbbbb.flu | Nodal flux for Patran post-processing |
aa_bbbbb.dis | Nodal displacement for Patran post-processing |
aa_bbbbb.str | Element stress for Patran post-processing |
aa_bbbbb.sig | Nodal stress for Patran post-processing |
_bbbbb.out | Mesh Patran neutral file for adaptive analysis |
aa is the sensitivity variable number. If aa=00, file contains analysis results.
bbbbb is the time increment number.
