importing Nastran mesh

October 17, 2002, 06:42

Hallo guys,

I do not succeed importing a mesh in Nastran format. Prostar does not read any node or element.

Can you help me?

Thank Marco

Just a few thoughts:

1. Do you read in the same format it was written (coded/binary)?

2. Do you get any error messages before Prostar decides not to import anything?

3. Does the mesh contain pyramids? I have had problems importing those since pyramids are rarely supported in NASTRAN format.

I've imported the file in .bdf format. The .nas format is wrong!!!
