How to import a Nastran Superelement in Ansys Workbench

      Hello everyone, 

      Im traying to import a Nastran superelement in Ansys but the files extensions are not compatible. The filles that I have are the following:

      • .asm -- Geometry file; this one is valid for ansys
      • .op4
      • .pch

      It is my understanding that a .pch file can be converted in a .sub file, but i don't know how to do it.

      So, how can I import this Nastran superelement in Ansys?

      Thanks!!

      Hi

      Search for this in the help manual (supported format is dmig).

      (Super Element Matrix (.dmig): This file format is for superelements generated in NASTRAN.

      5.15.14.5. Imported Condensed Parts
