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.

    Options 2 and 3 do not include input data for HDF5. This is documented in the system cell area and in the MDLPRM description with the Quick Reference Guide. The CASE CONTROL section with the TITLE, SUBTITLE and LABEL commands are part of the input data held in the CASECC datablock. The DMAP module CRDB_IN writes the CASECC datablock, along with other geometry datablocks. HDF5 options 0 and 1 include a call to CRDB_IN. With the POST option you control geometry in your .op2 file with the parameter OGEOM. OGEOM is set to yes by default. Looking at the output datablocks such as OUG1, which are table format, the subcase ID is present but I see no ASCII text records that would be associated with TITLE, SUBTITLE and LABEL. Further interest on the .op2 or .h5 content I will leave as an exercise to others using DMAP and PARAM settings.
