Results Created in Patran
The following table indicates all the possible result quantities which can be loaded into the Patran database during results translation from Marc. The Primary and Secondary Labels are items selected from the postprocessing menus. The Type indicates whether the results are Scalar, Vector, or Tensor. These types will determine which postprocessing techniques will be available in order to view the results quantity. Postcodes indicates which Marc element postcodes the data comes from. The Description gives a brief discussion about the results quantity. The Output Requests, 315 forms use the actual primary and secondary labels which will appear in the results. For example, if “Strain, Elastic” is selected on the Element Output Requests form, the “Strain, Elastic” is created for postprocessing.
 
Note:  
Import of adaptive meshing results is not supported. You must use the Attach method.
