hmnastopt translates Nastran SOL 200 punch files into HyperMesh binary results files. hmnastopt requires the following options in the dat file:

DISPLACEMENT(PUNCH) = ALL

STRESS(PUNCH) = ALL

ANALYSIS = STATICS

ANALYSIS = MODES

PARAM, DESPCH>0

The syntax to run the translator is:

hmnastopt [options] <inputfile> <outputfile>

Note:Use the command hmnastopt -u to obtain information about the options. The –h3d flag outputs file to an H3D file instead of to an hmresults file. The file includes model and results information that was translated. The model must contain geometry for it to be output to an H3D file. If the punch file contains the keywords GRID and DESVAR, the option -bulk <bulkfile>must be provided. To generate HyperMesh compatible x-y plot data (design cycle number vs. thickness), use the option -plot <plotfile>.
