Keymapping PCL Fuctions
maps PCL commands into a selected key, and use session file to create a PCL function.Loads Two categories are made for this selection: Property and Graphic Use Interface (GUI). Propertywrites a function to apply the loads and element properties to the finite element mesh of the lug. GUI introduces Graphic Use Interface for MSC/PATRAN.
Building Parameterized Models Two categories are made for this selection: Geometry and Meshing. Geometrycreates composite surfaces to fix disjointed surfaces of an imported drawing, and construct a single, fluid, consistent mesh which can be used for purposes of analysis. Meshing creates the required 2-D geometry for a 3-D model.
