Hello,

I do you read the .out file in Excel? Mine is just a bunch of garbage.

Best Regards,

It says that Excel cannot open the .out file. You must export the data to excel using excelpy. And read the data from the .out file using the dyntools module.

import excelpy
import dyntools

# example getting some info from .out file
outfile = dyntools.CHNF('dynamic-results.out')
short_title, chanid_dict, chandata_dict = outfile.get_data()

# example writing to excel
xl = excelpy.workbook(xlsfile='report-file.xlsx', mode='w')
xl.set_range(1, 'a', [short_title])
xl.save()
xl.close()
