1. Introduction

NaxToView is a post-processing and visualization tool for finite element analysis (FEA) models and results. It enables engineers to load, inspect, and visualize simulation data from multiple solvers, create custom plots and reports, and export results for documentation and further analysis.

1.1. Supported file formats

NaxToView supports input and output files from the following solvers:

Solver	Input formats	Output formats
Abaqus	.inp	.odb
Ansys	—	.rst
Nastran	.bdf, .dat	.op2, .hdf5, .xdb
Optistruct	.bdf, .fem	.op2, .h3d

Note

NaxToView can read Nastran-format input files (.bdf, .dat) from both MSC Nastran and NX Nastran solvers.
