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 Don,
     
    Thanks for that information. Sounds like the short answer is that MSC has decided to eliminate this valuable tool because of some problem with python 2.5. That is a real dissapointment for me. So now instead of getting a nice easy to read html report from each run we are back to only having the wonderful f06 file to look at. I guess that is progress. Maybe version 2020 will go back to requiring punch cards for the bdf file.
