how to read op2 files into excel

how to read op2 files into excel
Parents
  • HI Guillermo,
     
    OP2 file has nastran specific data structure. There are sample programs delivered with Nastran for the purpose of reading the op2 file. This programs will have to be modified to extract needed data in the ascii column format which then can be imported into excel. Sample programs can be found in the nastran installation under
    C:\MSC.Software\MSC_Nastran\20170\msc20170\util\tabtst.F
     
    MSC is moving toward using HDF5 format for outputting model and results data. This may be a better approach.
     
    Thanks,
    Sanjay Patel.
