MSC.Nastran 2005
General Notes
-
The plans described here are tentative and subject to change.
-
Support for the following 32-bit platforms will be dropped: AIX, HPUX, IRIX and Solaris
-
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 have a default BUFFSIZE of 8193 and a MAXIMUM BUFFSIZE of 65537.
-
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 2005 CDs also include the FLEXlm V9.2 server software for HP
Alpha Tru64, HP 9000, HPUX IA64, IBM pSeries, Linux, Silicon Graphics, and Sun.
The identical software is also available on the MSC.Patran CD.
-
SOL600 is not supported on LINUXIA64, CRAY, NEC, or Fujitsu
SOL700 is not supported on CRAY, NEC, or Fujitsu
