Patran (Windows):
• Start up Patran by choosing
Start/Programs/MSC.Software/Patran 200x.
or
Double-click on the Patran 200x icon on the desktop if installed using this option.
Patran (UNIX):
• Type patran and press <Return> at the operating prompt from any UNIX shell window. This assumes that the command patran is in the user’s path.
If you do not see the Patran window or if Patran does not start correctly after entering the start-up command, report the error to your system administrator or access your Patran Installation and Operations Guide. (You can access the Installation and Operations Guide on the Web at www.mscsoftware.com, under Support, Training, and Documentation.)
The Installation and Operations Guide contains step-by-step directions for tracking down start-up problems and provides a working solution.
To quit, from the Patran File menu, select Quit. Patran automatically saves any changes that you made to the current database when you exit.
