PCH to BDF

Step 1 - Select PCH File

1. Select files

Inspecting: {{AppU.percentOfFilesRead}}%

Error! The selected files could not be read. An error with the web app has been detected.

Take a screenshot of the entire web browser window. Ensure all the text in the red box is visible.
Collect copies of the BDF/DAT files used.
Refer to the Technical Support section in the User's Guide.
Contact technical support and provide a screenshot from step 1 and the BDF files from step 2.

Step 2 - Select BDF Files

1. Select files

The selected files are too large. A max file total size of {{AppU.maxFileSize}} is allowed. This operation requires reading and updating 2D elements but is limited to {{AppU.maxFileSize}}.

Inspecting: {{AppU.percentOfFilesRead}}%

Caution! PCOMP entries from a Topometry optimization have been detected in the PCH file. This app will add these new PCOMP entries and will automatically update the 2D elements to use the new PCOMP IDs.

Before:

PCOMP    1                ...
         70               ...
CQUAD4   1       1        ...
CQUAD4   2       1        ...

After:

PCOMP   10000001          ...
              70          ...
PCOMP   10000002          ...
              70          ...
CQUAD4   1       10000001 ...
CQUAD4   2       10000002 ...

The file containing the TOMVAR entries, e.g. design_model.bdf, must be selected for this operation to work properly. If this message remains visible, the update is unsucessful.

Procedures to correct issues

If the issue is "File was moved," then restore the files to their original location and try to download again.
If the issue is "File was edited by a separate application," to avoid file corruption on download, it is best to restart at the beginning, i.e reupload the BDF files.
