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 will open a support case for you as well as a Nastran enhancement request and cross reference them together so you are informed when this is resolved.
     
    FYI- I tracked down exactly why this happens. With the hdf5 creation using "2" or "3" the user is explicitly asking for the result data only, and no model data. It turns out that the SUBTITLE is stored with the model data portion of the hdf5 file. I've requested this be investigated, and possibly store the case control data always, even when using the "2" or "3" setting. The possible drawback is when a user has a large SET defined, or MANY subcases, which might increase the file size significantly.
