PUNCH FILE: how to plot displacement results in a convenient way (MATLAB?)

[emanuello]

Hello,

I would like to have some suggestion about a fast way to plot results listed in the PUNCH file. Excel is not really convenient, and I am not able to handle a PUNCH file in Matlab. Any opinion and personal experience about this kind of problem would be extremely welcome. Thank you very much!

Where I work we use the Altair Hyperworks software package. It includes an application called Hypergraph that is able to read out Nastran punch files and plot the data.
