Import Analysis Result

Function

  • Analysis results of other structural analysis programs can be imported and checked in the post-processing of midas Civil.
  • Prepare the analysis results in the 'fn.sar' file type, which is subsequently imported.
  • The file extension does not have to be 'sar' at this time. As long as the format of preparation is identical, a text file type can be imported as well.

 

Call

From the main menu, select [Analysis] tab > [Perform] group > [Import Analysis Result]

 

Input

Open dialog box

 


How to prepare a 'fn.sar' file

1. * : Command

2. ** : Comments

3. UNITSYS, which defines the unit system, among all the commands must be positioned at the beginning of the file.

4. Among all the commands, ENDDATA must be present at the end of the file.

5. All other commands may be input without any particular order.

6. Commands and input data are separated by commas (,) or separate lines.

7. Member forces of the result data are input based on the element coordinate system.

8. Plane Strain and Axisymmetric elements cannot be used with other types of elements.

9. Only the results related to static loads can be loaded, and the results of response spectrum analysis, time history analysis, and other analyses cannot be loaded.

--- WARNING : ALREADY ALLOCATED RESULTS : OVERWRITE RESULT OF LOADCASE = 2 AT LINE = 4

4

If the results file lacks definitions for the specified load case(s).

--- WARNING : 4 LOADCASES ARE MISSING : LINE = 5

(If there is a single load case missing in the results file.: --- WARNING : 1 LOADCASE IS MISSING : LINE = 5)

5

If the number of properly recognized nodes in the results file is less than the total number of nodes in the model.

(If the results file defines more nodes than the model, unmatched numbers are ignored, and if there are duplicates, they are overwritten.)

--- WARNING : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE NUMBER OF NODES(RESULT = 2, MODEL = 3)

PLEASE CHECK MODEL & *.SAR FILE

6

If the LOADCASE number defined in the results file is not present in the model.

--- WARNING : THE MODEL HAS NO CORRESPONDING LOADCASE = 3 : LINE = 9

7

If the number of load cases does not match or if it does not conform to the format.

ERROR : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE *.SAR FILE FORMAT OR LOADCASE NUMBER AT LINE = 3

PLEASE CHECK MODEL & *.SAR FILE

8

If it does not conform to the format, excluding the aforementioned cases.

ERROR : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE *.SAR FILE FORMAT AT LINE= 10

PLEASE CHECK MODEL & *.SAR FILE

Element results
1

When the element numbers defined in the result file do not exist in the model.

--- WARNING : THE MODEL HAS NO CORRESPONDING ELEMENT ID= 3 : LINE = 4

2

When the results defined in the result file are duplicated for the same node number.

--- WARNING : ALREADY ALLOCATED RESULTS : OVERWRITE RESULT OF ELEMENT = 3 AT LINE = 4

3

When the same load case results are duplicated for a single element in the result file.

--- WARNING : ALREADY ALLOCATED RESULTS : OVERWRITE RESULT OF ELEMENT = 3, LOADCASE = 2 AT LINE = 7

4

When there are insufficiently defined load cases in the result file.

--- WARNING : 4 LOADCASES ARE MISSING : LINE = 5 (--- WARNING : 1 LOADCASE IS MISSING : LINE = 5)

5

When the number of properly recognized elements in the result file is fewer than the number of elements in the model.

(If the result file contains more element definitions, those with non-matching numbers are ignored, and duplicates overwrite each other.)

--- WARNING : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE NUMBER OF ELEMENTS (RESULT = 2, MODEL = 3)

PLEASE CHECK MODEL & *.SAR FILE

6

When the node numbers assigned to elements in the result file do not match those in the model for 2D and 3D elements.

--- WARNING : THE ELEMENT (ID = 7 ) EXPECTED NODE ID = 8 : LINE = 9

7

When the LOAD CASE number defined in the result file does not exist in the model.

--- WARNING : THE MODEL HAS NO CORRESPONDING LOADCASE = 3 : LINE = 9

8

When the number of LOAD CASEs does not match or the format is not compatible.

ERROR : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE *.SAR FILE FORMAT OR LOADCASE NUMBER AT LINE = 3

PLEASE CHECK MODEL & *.SAR FILE

9

When the element TYPEs do not match each other.

ERROR : ELEMENT TYPE IS DIFFERENT. ELEMENT ID=3 IS BEAM ELEMENT : LINE = 7

10

When the number of nodes does not match between 2D and 3D elements.

ERROR : THE ELEMENT (ID = 3 ) HAS 4 NODES. LINE = 8

11

When the FORMAT does not match, excluding the mentioned cases.

ERROR : THERE IS A MISMATCH IN THE *.SAR FILE FORMAT AT LINE= 10
