PATRAN Door
This interface reads the PATRAN database with the model and writes the results onto PATRAN result files.
The modeling is made using custom-made PERMAS preferences. Own solver menus support standard PERMAS solutions from
within PATRAN, which may be adapted by the user himself. The following model parts are translated:
all common elements
all kinds of loads incl. inertia loads
all PERMAS kinematic boundary conditions
sets
specifications of substructures
variant definitions
The interface supports the following analysis types:
linear and nonlinear statics
contact analysis
dynamic mode analysis
thermal analysis
fluid-structure acoustics (basic modeling and post-processing)
Even for other types of degrees of freedom like electric potential the model may be prepared within PATRAN.
