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.  That log file change looked hopeful.  Unfortunately it does not work for me .  When I removed the last line in the log file I still get a crash of the F06 reader program with the ​attached error message.  I also attached my f06 and log file in case you can find the problem.  
     
    Also, I really prefer the exo-6 program that used to work great.  It is much faster and can easily be setup to run automatically after each run with the post option in the *.rcf file.  Also, it makes convergence plots and worked well for my SOL 400 runs.  Is the exo-6 program dead at MSC, and if so can you please release the source code some that someone like me can fix it and get it working with Version 2018?     Thanks.
