3.7 Subcases
This form appears when the Subcases... button is selected on the Analysis form. The subcase is the MD Nastran mechanism for associating loads and boundary conditions, output requests, and various other parameters to be used during part of a complete run.
The Patran MD Nastran interface automatically associates default parameters and output requests with each Patran load case to create a subcase with the same name as the load case. You can access the Subcase Parameters... and Output Requests... forms to view or modify these defaults.
