Reply To: Opening LSDA format file cbisfor

[Tonmoy]

Hi Greg!

I don’t have any experience in opening this kind of files. But, generally I open binary files in LSPP from upper ribbon>>FEM>>Post>>Binary Output.

If the file is in LSDA format, then you can convert it to ASCII to read the contents of the file using l2a: a program devs developed to do specifically the conversion. You can get more info in here: https://ftp.lstc.com/anonymous/outgoing/support/FAQ/ASCII_output_for_MPP_via_binout

For downloading the l2a (which is written to work using unix terminals), you can go to https://ftp.lstc.com/user/lsda/, use “user” as the user and “computer” as the password and then extract it to use it as described in the url above.

Thanks.
