The top level architecture of the Analysis forms has drastically changed between Patran release 1.2 and the current release. Despite this change, it should be very simple to convert Patran release 1.1 Analysis forms to this new architecture. Only two steps need be taken.
1. Delete your <analysis_code>_enabler and <analysis_code>_set_options PCL classes.
2. Create an <analysis_code>_load_aom_data class which explicitly calls out each of your subordinate Analysis forms and functions.
There might be slight differences in behavior between the main Analysis form of the 1.1 release and the current main Analysis form. If you dislike these changes, you should be able to convert back to the 1.1 style of behavior by using the functions described in this chapter.
We hope the expanded flexibility and power of our new Analysis forms counterbalances any inconveniences that this change may have created.
