OP2.rdop2record(form=None, N=0)

Read Nastran output2 data record.

Parameters:

• form (string or None; optional) – String specifying format, or None to read in signed integers. One of:

  'int' (same as None)
  'uint'
  'single'
  'double'
  'bytes' -- raw bytes from file
  

• N (integer; optional) – Number of elements in final data record; use 0 if unknown.

Returns:

rec (1d ndarray, bytes string, or None) – Typically returns 1d ndarray or, if form == 'bytes', a bytes string. None is returned if the end-of-data block has been reached.

Notes

This routine will read in a ‘super’ record if the data spans more than one logical record.
