Changing Nastran .f06 file Format

[S. M. Noor Ul Amin]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how I can make sure that the .f06 file is generated in such a manner that comma delimiter is being used. Since I want to extract values from .f06 file.
Thank You

I don't think that's possible.
But because the F06 file is a plain text file, you can process it with a text editor, and even import it into a spreadsheet. If you know the ins and outs of data import into spreadsheet, you should be able to import it in such a way that you can easily find the data values you want.

you want the op2 or f04 files.

but why are you extracting results from the output, rather than using a post-processor (like FeMap or PATRAN) ?

but you can use the predictability of the f06 to find text strings and count lines to the number of interest (what I did some 30 years ago before pre-post-processors were common).
