Group " " does not exist in the database. Model data will not be translated.	The name of a nonexistent group was specified in the translator control file. No model data will be translated from the OUTPUT2 file.
Needed file specification missing! The full name of the job file must be specified as the first command-line argument to this program.	The translation control file must be specified as the first on-line argument to the translator.
Unable to open the specified database " ". Writing the OUTPUT2 information to the PCL command file " ".	If the translator cannot communicate directly to the specified database. It will write the results and/or model data to a PCL session file.
Unable to open either the specified database " ", or a PCL command file, " ".	The naspat3 translator is unable to open any output file. Check file specification and directory protection.
Unable to open the NASTRAN input file " ".	The translator was unable to open a file to where the input file information will be written.
Unable to open the specified database, " " .	The forward Patran MD Nastran translator was unable to open the specified Patran database.

Correct the search path to include the necessary directory if you want the alter files to be written to the input file.
No property regions are defined in the database. No elements or element properties can be translated.	Elements referenced by an element property region in the Patran database will not get translated by the forward Patran MD Nastran translator. If no element regions are defined, no elements will be translated.
