Thermal simulation with Sinda in Patran

Hello,

I'm preforming some simulations in Sinda, and when I try to initiate the simulation this stay sucked and don't start. With tutorial works fine, but when I try to do in a simple electronic box doesn't work.

I only have 15 tokens and Patran uses 13. Is related with that? Like Nastran I can generate the SIN file and preform after?

Yes, write out the ".sin" file exit Patran and then run the Sinda dashboard program sgdb (install folder/versionnumber/sgdb.exe ) you can load the sin file and run the solver from that.

I think that is a installation or windows problem. I try models that I already preform and don't work. I try to do that out of patran and still not working, when the pop up with sinda calculations try to open windows force to close.

Can you help me on that?

Hello,

I already solve the windows problem and right now I can calculate. But still with license problem. How can I generate the sin file without start sinda in patran?

Hi Carlos,

Sorry, initially I didn't look too closely at the token count issue I just thought it was an issue with running the analysis and Patran together. I've now looked at the MSCOne token table and the Sinda Patran plugin requires 4 tokens, I mistakenly thought it would be just a couple of tokens but it isn't. Whilst you can shut Patran and run the sinda analysis outside once you have the files, the writing of the "jobname".ini file is done from within Patran by the Sinda Plugin and loading this plugin must be exceeding your token count.

Thank you for you replay. Without some few tokes more I can't use Sinda?

Not exactly, but for what you are trying to do yes. As you know you can run Sinda solvers with your 15 token count but the issue is running the SINDA PATRAN plugin to get the input data out of Patran, This plugin (4 tokens) has to be run inside Patran (13 tokens) so yes you are short of two tokens.

I know that I can calculate in Sinda, but I can't transform my file pre processing in Patran to a .sin file out of patran?

The transform program requires an input file (ini) that is written by the Sinda Plugin from inside Patran.
