Remarks

  1. To make fem2onf skip the PARAM,POST,-1 check in Nastran interface you can add the CONFIG-block: 
    $fem2onf_add_call = "--ignore_ppr 1";
    The above setting is NOT recommended.
  2. Changing the default result reading for Abaqus from FIL-file to SIM-file is done adding the following command in the parameter file or generally, adding the command in the tosca_ctrl.cfg: 
    CONFIG
 ...
  $fem_modif_add_call = "--format_matrices sim";

  $res2vtm_add_call = "--format_matrices sim";
  ...
END_
    Using the SIM-file is recommended for Abaqus 6.13 or higher and for sizing and sensitivity-based shape and bead optimization.
