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.

  • It sounds like the short answer is that the output datablocks do not (and will not) include the load case names, only the load case numbers. So if I want the load case name to show up on my patran result plots, then I must include the “input” data in my h5 file. No problem. I added a note to my QRG so that in the future I won’t assume that the output data includes the load case names.
