WHAT IS THE SSSALTER
LIBRARY?
The sssalter library
contains a collection of dmap alters that were written either in
reponse to client requests or prototypes to demonstrate the
feasibility of proposed new features.
While each DMAP alter was
tested for a number of possible applications, these alters have not
undergone the extensive testing required to be included in
MSC.Nastran. It is possible that your application may use a path
through the DMAP alter that was not tested, so always review your
results carefully. These DMAP alters were developed independently, and
it is likely that a conflict will occur if more than one alter is used
in a run.
A detailed description of
each alter (*.rdm) is delivered with Version 2005 under the sssalter
library subdirectory. The sssalter library is located in
the
install_dir/msc2005/nast/misc/sssalter
subdirectory. A logical
symbol SSSALTERDIR points to this subdirectory. Refer to the
MSC.Nastran Installation and Operations Guide for further
details.
