No rating yet Subject: Re: [APDL] *vread with mixed character/number array. Author: Dan Bohlen Date: 2002-08-26 11:39:00I'm probably a bit behind the times with *VREAD and this capability might be already there in 6.1. But while we are on the subject would it be possible to have Ansys free a free format file or comma separated file and read in a whole matrix ( ie. 10 x 10) of numbers at one time. Last time I did this *VREAD could only handle fixed format files and you could read only one vector at a time ( 10 vread commands for my 10x10 matrix.
