.res file

The .res file is a HyperMesh binary results file.

File Creation

The .res file is created when either no format statement is given or when the HM, HYPER, or BOTH formats are chosen. (See I/O Option OUTPUT).

Comments

  1. If an optimization is terminated abruptly due to an error such as a full disk or power failure, the HyperMesh binary results file (*.res) may become corrupted. In this event, run the program "recover," included with OptiStruct, to clean up the results file.
  2. The I/O Option Previously Supported Results controls the frequency of output for analytical results during an optimization.
  3. Grid point stresses are output for the entire model and for each individual component. This allows grid point stresses to be accurately obtained at the interface of two components referencing different material definitions.
  4. For dynamic analyses, like frequency response, transient response, and multibody dynamics, it is recommended that sets be used to reduce the amount of model and results output data. The output file can become very large since results are output for each frequency or time step.
