Importing analysis reference solution

When performing analysis-analysis correlation, use the Analysis Reference command to import the results of your reference analysis solution into your Simulation file instead of using an existing structural analysis solution.

You can import the results from the files with the following extensions:

  • OP2 (Nastran results file)

  • RST (ANSYS structural results file)

  • FIL (Abaqus results file)

When performing analysis-analysis correlation, both models must have same orientation as alignment is only available for test-analysis correlation.

For general information on importing results into a Simulation file, see Importing results.
