Adding a list of Noderesults to Patran

Is it possible to add a list of results to Patran?
A textfile in which the node ID is listed plus a certain value, for example can be created as input?
 
Thanks in advance.

  • Yes, this is possible, if you convert your results to the neutral results file format. This is documented in the Patran help, under Basic Functions/File Formats/A.5 PATRAN 2.5 Results Files. In the attached zip file you'll find a pdf of the relevant section. For your application you'll want the node result format. Essentially this has a bit of header data, then for each node you have a line with the node ID, followed by the data for that node. I've attached a sample file with a single column of results data.
     
    Associated with the results file will be a results template file. This basically just tells Patran what label to put on each data set as it's read in - this will be the label that appears in the results form when you want to postprocess. I've attached a sample template file as well. 
     
    To test these sample results, import the attached bdf, then import the results. 
     
    Importing the results is done from File/Import. Change "Object" to "Results" and "Format" to "PATRAN 2 .nod". It should then prompt you for the template file to use. See image below for reference.
