Is the Exo-6 report utility broken with Nastran 2018?

toby.t.norris
I have found the MSC Exo-6 report utility to be very helpful over the last several years since it came out in 2012. It still seems to work fine with all versions up to and including 2017. But it crashes when I try to open an f06 file from version 2018. I wonder what in the 2018 f06 file could have broken this very valuable tool.
 
Also, I have been using your other report writer called F06_Reader that is distributed with the 2017 version. That tool works fine for the 2017 version but always seems to crash with the 2018 version.
 
Do you have any reporting tool that works with version 2018?

    Hi Toby,
     
    I came across this with a customer not too long ago... there is an article on it here:
     
     
    This is what it says:
     
    -----------------------------------
    The f06 reader was dropped from 2019.0 but was available until v2018.1. Here is the path for it:
     
    C:\MSC.Software\MSC_Nastran\20180\msc20180\win64i8\F06Reader.exe
     
    C:\MSC.Software\MSC_Nastran\20181\msc20181\win64i8\F06Reader.exe
     
    This version will work with Nastran v2018.0, 2018.1 and v2019.0, but will NOT work with v2018.2.
     
    We had to remove F06reader from standard Nastran installation because of some vulnerabilities associated with the Python 2.5 version that the F06reader is based on. Moving forward we may be able to make it available as a standalone installer but we haven’t made that decision yet.
    -----------------------------------

    Don
