INCLUDE NASTRAN FILES 1

[pptrcq]

Hi,
if you have a Nastran .bdf file with include files in it, sometimes it is very helpful to have all these include files displayed ("exploted") in the .bdf. Do you know if there is a tool to include these "Include" files in the .bdf?
thanks

Read the top level .bdf into patran, and then export an analysis deck from patran.

Open all the included files with a text editor and substitute in place of the 'Include' in the main file the file called.

Ok, that is what I want but in an automatic way, not copying/pasting by hand.

thanks

Hi pptcrq,
if you have access to NASTRAN (MSC or NX) solver just run sol 101 (linear static), or whatever solution, asking in the case control section ECHO=UNSORT. You could even send the bdf to another file ECHO=FILE, or have the bdf "sorted" ECHO=SORT. Furthermore you can have just portion of the bdf inserting any number of ECHOON followed by ECHOOFF. Consult the QRG in the Case Controls Commands section for a complete description.

Hope this helps
regards
Francesco
