Post process:

Click on the following icon to enter in the post process:

Import punch file:

Import the punch file (***.pch) obtained from NASTRAN.

File -> Import -> Import PUNCH

When the file import process is finished, close the file-find window.

Import FEMAP ASCII neutral file:

Import the FEMAP ASCII file (***.neu) obtained from NE/NASTRAN.

File -> Import -> FEMAP file

When the file import process is finished, close the file-find window.

Note: To obtain a FEMAP ASCII file in NE/NASTRAN go to NASTRAN editor:

         Setup -> Default Analysis Options

Selects RSLTFILETYPE and set to FEMAP ASCII in Output Control Directives

Visualization of results:

Contour Fill.

View results -> Contour Fill

Select one of the results displacements or velocity.

Contour Fill Z-Displacement Step 20Hz

To change step of analysis use this menu sequence:

View results -> Default Analysis/Step -> 1

Select that step you want to see.

Deformation.

View results -> Deformation

Select one of the results displacements or velocity.

Use trackball rotation to rotate the plate and see better the deformation.
