Native Support for NASTRAN output file (bdf, op2)

ParaView support to read some NASTRAN files (.csv, .nas, ,f06) but there is no way to currently read .bdf and .op2 file in ParaView.

It may be possibe with Visit though.

The latest version of MSC Nastran outputs an HDF5 format. Should that be supported as well?

It would be better if users export their data to a PATRAN or FEMAP neutral format (which holds the model and results data) and then handle that conversion.
