By choosing the Analysis toggle located on the main form for MSC Patran, an Analysis form will appear.
Selecting Read Results as the Action on the Analysis form allows the user to read results data into the MSC Patran database from text (jobname.des and jobname.fmt) or binary (jobname.des and jobname.fac) SAMCEF files. Other forms that are accessible from here are used to define translation parameters and select the SAMCEF results file. These forms are described on the following pages.
Read Results Form
After setting the Action on the Analysis form to Read Results, the form is customized to appear as
below. The form is now used to define and select the data to be read from the SAMCEF database into MSC Patran.
Important: | Simply importing a model data from a SAMCEF results file into a empty Patran database does not create a complete, self-consistent Patran model!!! Up to now, there is no way to import a complete Samcef model into Patran |
