Plot SRCOMPS in Patran?

blaeiouk
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?

    Thanks Sanjay. I still must have something not right on my model. I took your Patran .db file, opened it, ran it, then attached the results and I do see the SRs available, in addition to the FIs. But, my own model does not show post-able SRs, only FIs. I've even got the "PARAM SRCOMPS YES" in my bdf and the resulting f06 has both FIs and SRs. Any thoughts?
     
    Can I send the model to you to investigate and tell me what's wrong? Or, should I create a support case and go that route? Or is there a portion of my bdf that I could screenshot that you could look at? The model I have is a client model so I want to be careful where and to whom I send it.
     
    (fyi, I have not tried the alter because I shouldn't need it given the versions that I'm using)
