•Input File
•CMS (*.out, op2): This file is the binary file resulted from the CMS analysis. The option supports that the Stress and Strain shape is added when the RFI file is created.
•Modal (*.op2): This file is the binary file resulted from the Modal analysis. The option supports that the Stress and Strain shape is added when the RFI file is created.
•Modal (*.pch): This file is the text file resulted from Modal analysis.
•Units: Changes those units that used in the FE program. This option is used in the current model.
•Output File Name
•RecurDyn/Flex Input File Name: Defines a generated file name with the extension rfi.
Note
*.out file and *.op2 file are files generated by MSC/NASTRAN as the Output2 file format (RecurDyn provides an example that generates an *.out file through the CMS analysis). So, *.out file and *.op2 file can be *.rfi file using by CMS(*.out) and Modal(*.op2) options in the Nastran Interface dialog. However, the results of the CMS analysis cannot add the Stiffness matrix.
