While inspecting the fringe I would like to pick specific elements (or nodes) and have the numerical value for a specified output vector shown/printed.
Is it possible without unposting the result fringe?
Is it correct that the only way to display 1D elements is:
Utilities>Display>Mark 1D Elems…
Isn't there a command created by Hexagon (current Patran developer) that allows to 1D elements to be displayed?
The above-mentioned…
How can I change the coordinate system in which a parasolid geometry is imported? I need the part positioned relative to Coord 3 instead of Coord 0 since the model was exported from a CAD file that uses Coord 3.
In Patran how to define frequency response for a model for which there are different acceleration load in input (defined in different subcases) but always the same constraints (one specific node fixed)?
In particular, how to make so that the…
I'm using Patran 2012 (64-bit), and I would like to set the default mouse Transformation Options using the Settings.pcl file. I've used the following variables on newer versions of Patran but they don't seem to work on version 2012. Can anyone point me…
I do not have the P_SCHEMA environment variable set. I've tried with "Import to Parasolid" checked and unchecked. I get a different error if "Import to Parasolid" is not checked: "Error occurred while importing the STEP AP203 file. The file may not be…

Hi,
I have a query regarding load and boundary conditions syntax using PCL.
Problem definition: I am creating a session file for GFEM to DFEM pressure mapping using PCL commands. My query is, how patran is writing PLOAD cards for…
I am plotting my custom results using elemental format in PATRAN and fringe plots are created. Normally lowest value shall be in Blue color and highest value shall be in red color. Is there any option to reverse the color contour to have red for lowest…
Is there a tool in Patran that allows us to automatically check for overlapping temperature loads, i.e. coincidental (overlaying) temperature loads on nodes?
I am using Patran "Create Results" option to post process my stress results. I have a number of load cases in my results. Basically i intend to get the ratio of minimum min principal to maximum max principal for my whole model.
I have created two…
Hello! I would like Patran to automaticaly adjust FEM viewing (by rotation and view fit) to show max Von Mises. Is there already PCL function which does the job?
I'm attempting to update our .bdf files to make use of .h5 instead of .xdb results files. Within Patran, I've made a new .db that successfully imported the .bdf input file. I had already used Nastran to run the .bdf, after adding in the following line…
Hello!
I am trying to write a script for results derivation and I have a problem with the first argument of function:
res_db_create_subcase_c( 2, "Demo", res_create_demo_scid, res_create_demo_rcid )
How to find the correct value?…
We work with old xdb results files, where one result file corresponds to a single load case. There are over 50 of these, and currently the only way I know to add them to the .db is via Analysis > Access Results > Attach XDB > Select Results File > *select…
I want to do an UNCOUPLED underwater explosion so:
