OP2 Introduction

The Jupyter notebook for this demo can be found in: - docs/quick_start/demo/op2_demo.ipynb - https://github.com/SteveDoyle2/pyNastran/tree/main/docs/quick_start/demo/op2_demo.ipynb

Why use the OP2? Why not use the F06/PCH file?

Most people are comfortable with the F06. However, it’s: - Ironically, a lot harder to parse. The OP2 is very structured. - Much, much, much slower. We can read entire blocks of arrays with a single call. The data is already typed. - Much, much more memory inefficient because we aren’t appending strings onto lists and turning that into a numpy array.

F06 parsers get ridiculously hard when you start do complicated results, like: - single subcase buckling - superelements - SOL 200 optimization with sub-optimization - SPOINTs

The pyNastran OP2 Reader is fast, highly validated, and it supports most result types. The data in the OP2 is also more accurate because there is no rounding.

Validating an OP2

The test_op2 script is created when you run python setup.py develop or python setup.py install on pyNastran. Assuming it’s on your path (it’ll be in Python27:raw-latex:`Scripts `or something similar), you can run:

>>> test_op2 -f solid_bending.op2

The -f tells us to print out solid_bending.test_op2.f06, which can be compared to your F06 for a small file to build confidence in the reader. It’s also useful when you want an F06 of your model without rerunning Nastran just to see what’s in it.

If you have a large model, you can make test_op2 run much, much faster. The -c flag disables double-reading of the OP2. By default, test_op2 uses two different read methods (the old method and new method) to ensure that results are read in properly. When running the code, this is turned off, but is turned on for test_op2.

>>> test_op2 -fc solid_bending.op2

Import the packages

import os
import copy
import numpy as np
np.set_printoptions(precision=2, threshold=20, suppress=True)

import pyNastran
pkg_path = pyNastran.__path__[0]

from pyNastran.utils import print_bad_path
from pyNastran.op2.op2 import read_op2
from pyNastran.utils import object_methods, object_attributes

import pandas as pd

Sets default precision of real numbers for pandas output

pd.set_option('precision', 3)
np.set_printoptions(precision=3, threshold=20)

As with the BDF, we can use the long form and the short form. However, the long form for the OP2 doesn’t really add anything. So, let’s just use the short form.

In addition to the default numpy support, there is also ``pandas`` dataframe support.

#op2_filename = r'D:\work\pynastran_0.8.0\models\iSat\ISat_Launch_Sm_Rgd.op2'
#op2_filename = r'D:\work\pynastran_0.8.0\models\iSat\ISat_Launch_Sm_4pt.op2'
op2_filename = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(pkg_path, '..', 'models', 'iSat', 'ISat_Launch_Sm_4pt.op2'))
assert os.path.exists(op2_filename), print_bad_path(op2_filename)

# define the input file with a file path
op2 = read_op2(op2_filename, build_dataframe=True, debug=False)
INFO: op2_scalar.py:1469 op2_filename = 'c:\\nasa\\m4\\formats\\git\\pynastran_1.2\\models\\iSat\\ISat_Launch_Sm_4pt.op2' 
c:nasam4formatsgitpynastran_1.2pyNastranop2op2.py:752: FutureWarning:
Panel is deprecated and will be removed in a future version.
The recommended way to represent these types of 3-dimensional data are with a MultiIndex on a DataFrame, via the Panel.to_frame() method
Alternatively, you can use the xarray package http://xarray.pydata.org/en/stable/.
Pandas provides a .to_xarray() method to help automate this conversion.

OP2 Introspection

The get_op2_stats() function lets you quickly understand what in an op2.

Acccessing the Eigenvectors object

Eigenvectors are the simplest object. They use the same class as for displacements, velocity, acceleration, SPC Forces, MPC Forces, Applied Loads, etc. These are all node-based tables with TX, TY, TZ, RX, RY, RZ. Results are in the analysis coordinate frame (CD), which is defined by the GRID card.

Numpy-based Approach

We’ll first show off the standard numpy based results on a transient case. Static results are the same, except that you’ll always use the 0th index for the “time” index.

The tutorial is intetionally just accessing the objects in a very clear, though inefficient way. The OP2 objects can take full advantage of the numpy operations.

# what modes did we analyze:  1 to 167
print("loadcases = %s" % op2.eigenvectors.keys())

# get subcase 1
eig1 = op2.eigenvectors[1]

modes = eig1.modes
times = eig1._times #  the generic version of modes
print("modes = %s\n" % modes)
print("times = %s\n" % times)

imode2 = 1 # corresponds to mode 2
mode2 = eig1.data[imode2, :, :]

print('first 10 nodes and grid types\nNid Gridtype\n%s' % eig1.node_gridtype[:10, :])
node_ids = eig1.node_gridtype[:, 0]

index_node10 = np.where(node_ids == 10)[0]  # we add the [0] because it's 1d
mode2_node10 = mode2[index_node10]
print("translation mode2_node10 = %s" % eig1.data[imode2, index_node10, :3].ravel())
print("rotations mode2_node10 = %s" % eig1.data[imode2, index_node10, 3:].ravel())

loadcases = dict_keys([1])
modes = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119, 120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126, 127, 128, 129, 130, 131, 132, 133, 134, 135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156, 157, 158, 159, 160, 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167]

Pandas-based Approach

If you like pandas, you can access all the OP2 objects, which is very useful within the Jupyter Notebook. Different objects will look differently, but you can change the layout.

If you’re trying to learn pandas, there are many tutorials online, such as: http://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/10min.html

Accessing the plate stress/strain

Results are stored on a per element type basis.

The OP2 is the same as an F06, so CQUAD4 elements have centroidal-based results or centroidal-based as well as the results at the 4 corner nodes.

Be careful about what you’re accessing.

# element forces/stresses/strains are by element type consistent with the F06, so...
plate_stress = op2.cquad4_stress[1]
print("plate_stress_obj = %s" % type(plate_stress))

# the set of variables in the RealPlateStressArray
print("plate_stress = %s\n" % plate_stress.__dict__.keys())

# list of parameters that define the object (e.g. what is the nonlinear variable name
print("data_code_keys = %s\n" % plate_stress.data_code.keys())

# nonlinear variable name
name = plate_stress.data_code['name']
print("name = %r" % plate_stress.data_code['name'])

print("list-type variables = %s" % plate_stress.data_code['data_names'])

# the special loop parameter
# for modal analysis, it's "modes"
# for transient, it's "times"
# or be lazy and use "_times"
print("modes = %s" % plate_stress.modes) # name + 's'

Number of Nodes on a CQUAD4

  • For CENT, there is 1 centroidal stress at two locations

  • For BILIN, there are 5 stresses at two locations (4 nodes + centroidal)

  • node_id=0 indicates a centroidal quantity

  • CTRIA3s are always centroidal

What sets this?

STRESS(real, sort1, BILIN) = ALL   # centroid + 4 corner nodes
STRESS(real, sort1, CENT) = ALL    # centroid

STRAIN(real, sort1, BILIN) = ALL   # centroid + 4 corner nodes
STRAIN(real, sort1, CENT) = ALL    # centroid

How do we know if we’re bilinear?

print("is_bilinear = %s\n" % plate_stress.is_bilinear())

What locations are chosen?

That depends on fiber distance/fiber curvature… - fiber_curvature - mean stress (\(\sigma_{alt}\)) & slope (\(\sigma_{mean}\))

$$ \sigma_{top} = \sigma_{alt} + \frac{t}{2} \sigma_{mean}$$

$$ \sigma_{btm} = \sigma_{alt} + \frac{t}{2} \sigma_{mean}$$

  • fiber_distance - upper and lower surface stress (o_top; o_btm)

  • If you have stress, fiber_distance is always returned regardless of your option.

What sets this?

STRAIN(real, sort1, FIBER) = ALL   # fiber distance/default
STRAIN(real, sort1, STRCUR) = ALL  # strain curvature

How do we know if we’re using fiber_distance?

print("is_fiber_distance = %s" % plate_stress.is_fiber_distance())

Let’s print out the actual mass properties from the OP2 and get the same result as the F06

We need PARAM,POSTEXT,YES in out BDF to get the Grid Point Weight Table

gpw = op2.grid_point_weight
#print(gpw.object_attributes())

print(gpw)
gpw.object_methods()
#gpw.write_f06?
print(gpw.get_stats())

We can also write the full F06

import getpass
name = getpass.getuser()
os.chdir(os.path.join(r'C:\Users', name, 'Desktop'))

# write the F06 with Real/Imaginary or Magnitude/Phase
# only matters for complex results
op2.write_f06('isat.f06', is_mag_phase=False)

The mass results are different as pyNastran’s mass assumes point masses

\[m_{plates} = A (\rho t + nsm)\]
\[m_{solid} = V \rho\]
\[m_{bars} = L (\rho A + nsm)\]
\[I = m r^2\]

The larger your model is and the further from the origin, the more accurate the result. For some applications (e.g. a weight breakdown), this is probably be fine.

print('cg =\n%s' % gpw.cg)
print('cg = %s' % cg)

cg =
None
cg = [ -0.034  -2.531 -18.468]

It’s not like Nastran is perfect either.

Limitations

  1. You cannot do weight statements in Nastran by component/property/material.

  2. Everything is always summmed up (e.g. you can have different geometry in Subcase 2 and MPCs connecting physical geomtry, with other parts flying off into space).

These are things that pyNastran can do.

from pyNastran.bdf.bdf import read_bdf
bdf_filename = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(pkg_path, '..', 'models', 'iSat', 'ISat_Launch_Sm_4pt.dat'))
model = read_bdf(bdf_filename, debug=False)

Weight Statement
