I have each one using CIS "as is", and the results are very close, but there are some very small differences. Nothing that would cause concern, I'm just trying to understand the reason why they are different.
I did a quick test and the only difference I got was with the significant digits accuracy. Patran was giving numbers with 6 digits after the decimal point and explore was using E format with 5 digits after the decimal point. So there is a rounding effect. I mention this in the off chance it might be the reason.
e.g.: Patran gave 36.169384 and explore 3.61694E+01
PS the f06 output format has: 3.616938E+01 which falls in between the digits of accuracy of the other two. All three are in agreement with two being increasingly truncated.
