How to read a result file such as *.rst, *.rth, *.rmg and *.rfl? This question seems naïve. I have posted one on reading result file issue with binlib.dll subroutines called “Using gfortran compiler to compile demo-files such as ResRdDemo.F against binlib.dll failed”. I ask a question on reading result file with GUI here. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I used command “ansys.exe -b -dir directory -i inputfile.txt -o ansys.txt” and ansys completed analysis. I believe that result in “ansys.txt” is correct.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1. When I use command “list->files->binary files->other->header only” to read “file.rst”, but result is as following:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 DUMP OF FILE= .DesktopbaoworkProject_1methodssetuprun_1m_1file.rst

<\/p>\n

The header format of this result is different from  The Standard Header for ANSYS Binary Files. I want to know why? as a user, how to read useful results from binary result files if the header format is various or random. In addition, I can not find any useful results in this file.rst.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

2. When I use command “list->files->binary files->other->all records” to read “file.rst”, it shows warning:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“Result file written in parallel -AUX2 DUMP may abort. Use PTR,LOC,BASE to view the records in that case”. I do not know how PTR,LOC,BASE to view the records because I cannot find how on any manual.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Any help or comments will be appreciated.<\/p>\n
