VisualNastran was developed by MSC Software Corporation as an engineering simulation and visualization application. Its WM3 files contain movies generated from simulations, such as recorded views of simulated motion.
WM3 is an application-specific format rather than a general-purpose video format. It is intended to be used with VisualNastran, and support outside that Microsoft Windows software is limited.
Open the .wm3 file in VisualNastran on Microsoft Windows. Use the application's movie or animation commands to load and play the file.
General-purpose media players may not recognize this application-specific format.
To create a more widely supported video, open the file in VisualNastran and use its movie export tools, if the installed version provides them.
