Nastran output

Nastran output

Have an option NOT put up the Nastran output when running a solve.

This would be really useful for demos, where you don't really want the customer to see loads of warnings come up!

 

You could always switch to the output toolbar afterwards if you wanted to.

Dave,

 

I just want to make sure about something.  Did you know you can switch from the Output dialog back to the Model Tree while the analysis is running?

yes I do, but if you did that during a demo, they may think you are trying to hide something...

We can consider having an option as you've outlined, but I think the main workflow would be to see the status of the analysis once it is launched. Most warnings that come during the analysis are based on element quality. If you are doing check runs or demonstrations where element quality is less important, you can suppress the warnings by setting ELEMGEOMCHECKS=OFF. This can be done temporarily in the Parameters node on the tree or permanently by editing the Nastran.ini file in the installation folder under \System\Nastran. It is located under Geometry Processor Parameters. If you do turn it off permanently, be sure to try turning it back on when a solution is failing to make sure it isn't mesh related. I hope this helps. Mitch
