Hello, I creating an excel file with some grid points spacing (0.05" interval). I saved the file as csv and converted into dat. Now when I am trying to import it into Patran it is not reading the grid points and given me error. Here is my file for reference. GRID 101 0.55 0 0 GRID 101 0.55 0 0 Here is the error $REJECT (SEMTRN) IGNORE INPUT CARD(S) BEFORE BEGIN BULK $REJECT (SEMTRN) CASE CONTROL CARD(S) AFTER CEND The .dat file does not have any begin bulk or CEND command. Any idea what is going wrong with this? or a way out of this

Importing bdf file

Hello,

I creating an excel file with some grid points spacing (0.05" interval). I saved the file as csv and converted into dat. Now when I am trying to import it into Patran it is not reading the grid points and given me error.

Here is my file for reference.

GRID 101 0.55 0 0

Here is the error

$REJECT (SEMTRN) IGNORE INPUT CARD(S) BEFORE BEGIN BULK

$REJECT (SEMTRN) CASE CONTROL CARD(S) AFTER CEND

The .dat file does not have any begin bulk or CEND command.

Any idea what is going wrong with this? or a way out of this

From what you've posted it looks like your spacings are wrong (although it's possible that's just something that's happened with pasting into the message here.)

In the GRID entries above it looks like you've only got 7 characters per field instead of 8. So the first field is ending up as "GRID 1", etc.
