The tables in this section summarize the results output by OptiStruct. They show the formats available for each result and the I/O option entry that controls the output of the result.

The columns in the tables represent the major output streams supported by OptiStruct:

H3D	– Hyper3D format (.h3d file)
HM	– HyperMesh format (.res file)
OP2	– Nastran Output2 format (.op2 file)
PCH	– Nastran Punch format (.pch file)
OPT	– OptiStruct ASCII format (multiple files) – will not be developed in future versions.
PAT	– Patran and Alternative-Patran formats (multiple files)
H3D (MBD)	– Hyper3D format for body results (_mbd.h3d)
MRF	– Multi-body results file (_mbd.mrf)
