BFLEX2010POST
Auto-generated mpf files
Q: When bflex2010post is executed with the bfpost command, several *.mpf files are auto-generated. What are the contente of these files?
A: These files are non-docmomented and intended for sharing information between the new bflex2010 and the old bflex formats. You should use bpost with the different options for obtaining results from the old bflex models.
Displacements in the *_BFLEX2010.raf file
Q: My model_bflex2010.raf file has other displacements that the corresponding model.raf file obtained directly from bflex2010?
A: The displacements at the first step of the _bflex2010.raf file will always be reported as zero, and further displacements measured relative to that step. If you apply all loads, such as pressure, tension, etc. after that first result step, yuo will see identical results for the two raf files. Stresses and forces are the same regardless of displacments reported differently.
