Re: Reading displacements from op2 not working as expected

[Steven Doyle]

Op2.displacements is a dictionary where the key is the subcase number and the value is a DisplacmentObject (or ComplexDisplacementObject).  I'm 99% sure if you don't define a subcase section in your BDF/DAT/NAS file, the OP2 will contain a subcase number of 1.

There should be no rounding on any of the results in the OP2.  If there is any loss of precision by the BDF/F06/OP2, it's a bug.  That said, if you use

>>> print op2.displacements[1]

it returns a table that rounds the outputs, which was helpful during development.  Just ignore it.  It's going away in the next version anyways because it's a memory hog for large files.  You can use the __repr__ method to see how it's printing the data though.

I think I figured it out. op2.displacements returns a dictionary with a key 1 and object class 'pyNastran.op2.tables.oug.oug_displacements.DisplacementObject'

I had to pull this object out of the dict and use it's methods.
eg:
----
from pyNastran.op2.op2 import OP2

op2r = OP2('485p1005.op2',make_geom=False,debug=False,log=None)

# read the OP2
op2r.readOP2()

# read the displacement dictionary
disps=op2r.displacements

# take item 1 of the disps dictionary, which seems to be the displacement dict
disps2=disps.get(1)

# copy the translations into a dict xyz, node numbers are keys
xyz=trans.translations

# copy the rotations into a dict xyz, node numbers are keys
rxyz=trans.rotations
