I know this is an old question but I just want to make sure I have the most current information on it. I'd like to be able to post process fringe plot the SRCOMPS that I'm having Nastran calculate just like I can the Failure Indices (i.e. Tsai-Wu). The only advice that I have found thus far is that Patran cannot plot SRCOMPS like it can FI and so I have to note an offending element number and then dig into the F06 to find its correlating SR. I'm a fan of things "old school" but this is a bit much for me in 2018 and FEMAP (which I don't have) does plot SRCOMPS if requested.
So, can we now plot SRCOMPS in Patran just like FI's or not? Is there a workaround or alter that can get this done?
Are you still using HDF5 in your model? It turns out that SRCOMPS output is not yet supported properly for HDF5, so you'll have to stick to New OP2 (as in Sanjay's example file) or MASTER/DBALL. Sorry for the confusion.
