Hello,

since Ansys Version 11 residual vectors can be computed and taken into account when using modal superposition analysis.

I would like to use the residual vectors for external purposes (Matlab).

Now this new capability is not transparent for the user. One cannot read or plot the residual vectors.

The only possibility, that I can imagine, is to read the file jobname.rmode. But how? It is binary...

Anyone any idea???

Regards
Alex
