Advanced use of Patran
PAT302
Objective
PAT302 provides an in-depth examination of the advanced features of Patran. Sample topics covered by PAT302 include:advanced Patran features usage for meshing and mesh refinement, use of various Patran Command Language (PCL) files for session customisation, application of advanced geometric construction techniques, definition of fields to represent spatially varying functions for loads and boundary conditions, generation of constraint equations (MPCs) to define physical relationships, and creation of sophisticated multi-effect graphical images.Content
