MSC.Nastran 2001 Platform Support
General Notes
- The plans described here are tentative and subject to change.
- The OS version is the planned build level. Systems run on later OS versions unless specifically stated otherwise. In some instances, later versions are also cited if they warrant special mention.
- In all cases, the Max Open Core is limited by the user's resource limits and the available swap space.
- In all cases, the Max File Size is limited by the user's resource limits and the available disk space.
- All platforms, except Cray and NEC, limit the number of users on a single computer using nodelock authorization.
- DMP versions are expected for all MPI-capable systems.
- The UNIX 2001 CD also includes the FLEXlm V7.2h server software for Compaq Alpha UNIX, HP 9000, IBM RS/6000, Silicon Graphics, and Sun. The identical software is also available on the MSC.Patran CD.
