Extraction of Element forces from OP2

prasad.guduguntla.external over 6 years ago

Hello,

I would like to know, if there is a way to extract the element forces from OP2 file with out using Patran or printing in f06.

I got OP2 files of more than 7GB, it's taking several minutes to load the files in patran and to extract the data.

Thanks,

Prasad.

If you have Op2 already generated then other than using Post-processor, like Patran there is no easy way…however, if rerun is possible option available then you can use SET command asking output for limited element output to reduce the size of your result file. Better option is, try asking for HDF5 output instead of op2, then size of the file will be less compared with op2, and you can post-process easily with Patran.
