HyperView Moldflow Results Reader
HyperView supports the Patran neutral format for post-processing Moldflow results.
Moldflow can export Patran format files using a Visual Basic script. To export the results into the Patran format, run the patout.vbs script using the Play macro tool option from the Tools menu in Moldflow. Refer to the Moldflow documentation for complete information on obtaining and using the patout.vbs script.
After you have run the patout.vbs script, you will have several ASCII result files that are prefixed with pat_ and have the file extension .ntr.
