File Name | Description |
*.db | This is the Patran database. During an analyze pass, model data is read from this database. This file typically resides in the current directory. |
jobname.pc | This is the PAMCRASH input file created by the interface. This file typically resides in the current directory. |
pat3pam -j | This is the actual forward translation program, translating between the Patran database and a PAMCRASH input file. It is typically run within Patran, transparent to the user, but can also be run independently. For example: <installation_directory>/bin/exe/pat3pam -j my_job -d my_database.db > my_job.msg & Patran searches its file path for this file, but it typically resides in the <installation_directory>/bin/exe directory. |
pat3pam -i | This is the PAMCRASH input file reader program. It is typically run within Patran, transparent to the user, but can also be run independently with the following command; <installation_directory>/bin/exe/pat3pam -i my_deck.pc -d my_database.db > my_job.msg & Patran searches its file path for this file, but it typically resides in the <installation_directory>/bin/exe directory. |
