MSC.Nastran 2004
General Notes
- The plans described here are tentative and subject to change.
- The OS version is the planned build level. Systems can be expected to run on later OS versions where the provider of the OS advertises upward compatibility. 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 2004 CDs also include the FLEXlm V9.2 server software for Compaq Alpha Tru64, HP 9000, HPUX IA64, IBM RS/6000, Linux, Silicon Graphics, and Sun. The identical software is also available on the MSC.Patran CD.
