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

toby.t.norris
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 am glad you noticed the problem.   Also, I did have success when I used mdlprm,hdf5,1.
     
    Maybe someone at MSC should build a PCL script that automatically tests all of your command options prior to releasing to the public.   That would have caught this issue (bug or undocumented feature). 
     
    I have very large database.  So I am trying to do all I can to minimize the size.  That is why I was using the 3 option.  The manual says that option is supposed to give minimum size without model input data and compressed.  However the manual does not say anything about there being no subcase names with the results when you use the 3 option.  Thankfully, I was able to figure this out on my own by experimenting with the various mdlprm,hdf5 options.   
     
    Thanks very much for your help on this issue.  It is definitely resolved and I am very pleased with the attach speed for the h5 file format as compared to the op2.   So far the h5 is working great with minimum file size and fast attach time.
