H5 output file does not show any subcase names when I load into Patran.

Right now I must use op2 or xdb format because those formats include the subcase names. For some reason I get no subcase names with h5. I just get the subcase number but no names in Patran. Please let me know what I am doing wrong. Surely someone at MSC knows the value of subcase names instead of just numbers. I would like to use h5 format since it is the latest and greatest. The name is supposed to come from the SUBTITLE command in the nastran input file.

  • I double checked my files. I am using same format you have. I was using mdlprm,hdf5,3 to get the h5 file. Even after I delete all the old scrap subcases in Patran, I still never get any of the subcase names when I attach the new h5 file.
     
    The names do show up just fine if I attach the op2 file or xdb file. But no names with the h5 file.
     
    I wonder what command you are using to save your h5 file. Next I will try mdlprm,hdf5,1 to see if that makes any difference.
