IV.2.11 Superelements

One discusses in this section the example provided in directory “TESTSAT/RUBY/EX27” and that illustrate the management of Results when model contains superelements. (See section III.1.1.3 for the presentation of the theory.)

All the examples presented here are based on the reading of models in directory “TESTSAT/OTHER_EXECS/msc_seug_chapter2_Jet" and of associated results in OP2, XDB or HDF files. The Nastran BDF files have been obtained modifying MSC Nastran example
“doc/seug/chapter2/jet101.dat” in Nastran installation directory. This example is discussed in [Hex22]. Modifications have been done to obtain the OP2, XDB or HDF output files with results associated to the different superelements of the model. The following subsections IV.2.11.1 to IV.2.11.4 explain how the model and corresponding results can be manipulated. The examples presented here have been tested with Python, COM and .NET assembly.

  IV.2.11.2 Superelements and OP2 files
  IV.2.11.3 Getting superelement Results from XDB files
