2005r3 SAMCEF Preference Patch for Composite RTM capabilities

This patch completes the standard Samcef Preference for the following items:

  • Composite RTM Datas in the P3/Samcef current database are now writing in the Samcef Input Deck
  • Ability to control the precision of the nodal positionning written in the Samcef input deck

These capabilities were partially available with the standard Samcef Preference.
These capablities will be fully available in the next Patran official releases.

Instructions for the WINNT Package:

  • Pre-requisite: The standard Samcef Preference is already installed in the current Patran 2005r3 installation
  • Go to the Patran 2005r3 installation directory and rename the .\bin\exe\pat3sam.exe in .\bin\exe\pat3sam.exe.old
  • Copy the .gz file into the Patran 2005r3 installation directory (default is C:\MSC.Software\MSC.Patran\2005_r3\)
  • Open the file with WinZip, and extract the archived files to that current directory,
  • Move manually the pat3sam.exe from .\v2005r3_Windows_p3samcef\bin\exe\ in .\bin\exe\ and delete after the .\v2005r3_Windows_p3samcef folder
