issuses about .frd results format

calculix .frd format is readable, and I had tried to change my results data to this format. Please find attached following message when Mecway read my.frd data, and I am sure this is in the right format. Thank you. :

  • It's hard to tell because the forum might have removed spaces from your post but the .frd file is fixed format and each number has to be in the correct column. If that doesn't help, could you attach the .frd file or email it to me?
  • Thank you very much for your suggestions, and I had solved this problem following your reply. It is really the fixed format issues, 10 spaces are needed for each node number in each elem topo record, but I used only 9.
  • But new issues occur, please find attached my frd file, and also the SYY results (the displacement results UX, UY, UZ are completely displayed right), obviously, there a small region where the stress display not correctly. In fact, all other stress components have the same issues, here I only show the SYY results for clarity. I am not sure what's wrong. It is noted that the results data for generating my .frd files is also validated to be right. Thank you.

    It appears to be reading it correctly according to the value at one node.

    EDIT: I just noticed there are multiple values for each node, as you can see in the listing below. That must be the problem.


  • It might be relevant that this strip of low stress is also where the lowest numbered nodes are.

  • Thank you so much, Victor. Following your guidence, I solved this problem. This .frd file was special since it is not really generated by ccx, instead, it is generated by me. There are two STRESS field, 1PSTEP 2 and 1PSTEP 3, and I wrongly put both node stress in STEP 2, and also elem guassion stress in STEP 3. This is also the problem you pointed out. Now, I just delete the gaussian stress in STEP 3, and only keep node stress, the results are OK now. Mecway is really helpful.
