Direct Text Input
This subordinate form appears whenever the Direct Text Input button is selected.
This widget is to facilitate the input of the ABAQUS input data that cannot be created using the functionality available in Patran. All data input here will be appended to the ABAQUS model data before the step history block.
 
Note:  
There is no checking available for invalid input.
  
Note:  
The font for the text input may vary from one system to another. A default font is specified in app_defaults/Patran file:
Patran*fixedFont: -misc-fixed-bold-r-normal--13-100-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1
For any problems with the text on a particular system, change the font specifications in the Patran file which should reside in your ~home directory. Use xfontsel, or xlxfonts commands to get the list of available fonts on a given system.
