What is a PCH File Type?

One example is XYPUNCH, which will create an output of data from the X axis and Y axis @ - @, e.g., magnitude vs. frequency. Two types of data would be included in the content of the PCH file created from this map. The first would look like the .F06 file, with mode shapes, static displacements and point constraint grid data, but in alternative format from the F06 file. The second would display the apos; amplitude as a function of frequency, which helps to plot the response curve in a spreadsheet.
