MSC/PATRAN

MSC/PATRAN is an open-ended 3-D Mechanical Computer-Aided Engineering (MCAE) system that offers next-generation technology in linking engineering design, analysis, and results evaluation. MSC/PATRAN uses a Motif(TM)-based interface that is exceptionally easy to use and easy to learn. MSC/PATRAN also offers unparalleled integration. Using a concept called the Single Geometric Model (SGM), MSC/PATRAN allows a finite element analysis model to be created directly from a CAD system without translating or re-creating the design geometry. MSC/PATRAN's analysis integration allows an engineer to create run-ready decks for solvers such as MSC/NASTRAN using syntax specific to each code. In addition, MSC/PATRAN provides unrivaled engineering functionality and customizability.
