But, generally I open binary files in LSPP from upper ribbon&gt;&gt;FEM&gt;&gt;Post&gt;&gt;Binary Output.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;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&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;For downloading the l2a (which is written to work using unix terminals), you can go to https:\/\/ftp.lstc.com\/user\/lsda\/, use &ldquo;user&rdquo; as the user and &ldquo;computer&rdquo; as the password and then extract it to use it as described in the url above.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-Tonmoy.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edit: Fixed broken urls.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-378033","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/378033","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reply"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/replies\/378033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
