Hi All, I was provided some load files (like LSWRIT command) from a customer. When I try to read it in an get an error when it gets to the pressures. The header of his file looks like this. /COM,ANSYS RELEASE Release 17.2 BUILD 17.2 UP20160718 15:43:34 And The pressure commands look like this. SFE, 41001, 1, PRES, 1, R5.0 230.7846665 230.7846665 0 0 I wrote out some from another Ansys .db and got this. SFE, 29589, 3,PRES,2,R5.0 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 0.00000000 Looks the same to me other than the customer provided spacing is different and in the text file the "spaces" are tabs versus an actual lswrit file they are spaces. Are the LS load case files fixed format?
