Hi all, I have to import acceleration data (.csv file) from motion solve to MSC Actran (.op2 or .pch file). Please suggest some method for conversion of .csv to .pch or op2. Kindly also let me know if i can import acceleration data in Actran as .dat file?

  • Hello Raj,
     
    Try using the option "Tables - Import Table - TXT or CSV"
     
    To understand the format required, try manually defining a sample table with the options available at "Tables - Add Table" - manually define a few entries - and then export that Table by right-clicking on it.
    In this scenario, importing acceleration data as .dat file would not be applicable. 
     
    Please try as per this and let us know if further clarifications are required.
     
    If you can look at using Adams, and modeling the radiating surface as a flexbody, then there is an automated Adams-Actran workflow called as Adams to Actran Toolkit, which can directly and automatically setup Actran from within Adams, run the model, and post-process acoustics results within the Adams environment - all these can be done fully within the Adams environment, and one need not open Actran at all, it runs in batch mode in the back-end.
    Email me if you would like help in using this.
