The Patran ANSYS product includes all of the following items:
1. PCL command and library files which add all the Patran ANSYS customization definitions into Patran. These files are named load_lib_ansys.ses and ansys.plb for ANSYS Revision 4.4A and load_lib_ansys5.ses and ansys5.plb for ANSYS Revision 5.
2. The executable programs are PAT3ANS, ANSPAT3, and ANS5PAT3 which perform the forward and results translation of data. Although these programs are separate executables, they run from within Patran, and are transparent to the user.
3. Script files are included to drive the programs in item 2. These script files are started by Patran and control the running of the programs in Patran ANSYS.
4. This Application Preference User’s Manual is included as part of the product. An on-line version is also provided to allow the direct access to this information from within Patran.
ANSYS Input File Reader
It is possible to read an existing ANSYS input file (jobname.inp) into Patran. This is not a fully supported feature and must be invoked by setting a special parameter. This is done by editing the settings.pcl file and adding the following line:
pref_env_set_logical( "shareware_input_file", TRUE )
If this setting is set to TRUE, then an additional Action item appears under the Analysis form called Read Input File. This file can exist in the installation, local or home directories.
