Hi,

we are trying to read field variable (FV) calculated by USDFLD and saved into .fil file in another analysis.

Unfortunately we got this message in the .dat file:

SEARCHING FOR FIELD VARIABLE  1: THE PROGRAM HAS FOUND STEP    1  INCREMENT    1  ON FILE Job-1

***WARNING: FIELD VARIABLE 1 WAS NOT FOUND FOR STEP 1 INCREMENT 1 ON THE              RESULTS FILE. CHECK *NODEFILE REQUESTS IN THE ANALYSIS WHICH              CREATED Job-0.fil. FIELD VARIABLE 1 WILL NOT BE READ              FOR THIS STEP.

We have opened .fil file and checked that FVs are written there. The reason probably lies in the fact that FV is written using *EL FILE (according to Users manual it is possible to write it only as EL) but reading by *FIELD requires NODE. We have tried all POSITION possibilities in *EL FILE with no change.

Could you please give us your suggestions what are we doing wrong and how to read predefined field variables from results file?

Thank you.

Martin
