6 Domain Decomposition Domain decomposition can now be done automatically as part of the analysis process. Output Requests The output request forms can now process numerous new element results and nodal results POST codes. User Subroutines New user subroutines can be activated via the MSC.Marc preference. For details on MSC.Marc Preference updates, see MSC.Marc Preference Enhancements (Ch. 3). MSC.Dytran Preference Enhancement The ACC Output Request, IMMFILE file management and several parameters were added to the Analysis form of the MSC.Dytran Preference in MSC.Patran 2005. For details on MSC.Dytran Preference updates, see MSC.Dytran Preference Enhancements (Ch. 3). ABAQUS Preference Enhancement ABAQUS Gasket Element Support has been improved in MSC.Patran 2005. The link, axisymmetric, two, and three-dimensional gasket element types were added to the Element Properties of the ABAQUS Analysis Preference in MSC.Patran 2005. Damage and Elastic-Plastic gasket behavior models that vary with displacement and temperature may be assigned to these property sets. Traditional elastic, plastic, viscoelastic and creep material models may also be used. The thickness direction is defined from the gasket element's connectivity. A shareware utility was created to allow the connectivity of Hex elements to be easily rotated. For more information on ABAQUS Preference updates, see ABAQUS Product Information (Ch. 1) in the MSC.Patran ABAQUS Preference Guide.
1.2 Additional Features and Upgrades CHAPTER 1 MSC.Patran 2005 at a Glance In addition to the key features for 2005, many more features have been added to MSC.Patran to increase the capabilities, performance, and quality. Important enhancements to MSC.Patran 2005 include: CAD Access Update The InterOp Translators have been upgraded to InterOp R13 and ACIS R13. The I-DEAS to MSC.Patran translator must be run with I-DEAS 10 NX Series. I-DEAS 9 .mf1 files can be processed by the translator. I-DEAS 10 NX Series must be running in Master Modeler Mode prior to running the I-DEAS to MSC.Patran translator xplus_ideasp.exe. When starting up I-DEAS 10 NX in Master Modeler Mode, the following option must be used when running the I-DEAS to MSC.Patran translator: -n OpenBatchDesign (Example: $IDEASROOT/bin/ideas -n OpenBatchDesign) In this release of MSC.Patran, support has been added for Step AP203 and AP209 on the HP-UX Itanium platform Pro/ENGINEER Access Pro/ENGINEER Access has been updated to be compatible with 64-Bit Pro/ENGINEER 2001 and Wildfire versions on SUNS and HP (PA-RISC) platforms. The Pro/Engineer import will now transfer the following material data from a part: Material name (a standard PTC part parameter) Material properties (standard PTC part parameters) Material Reference (a customized extension, using a user defined parameter) Each solid will be associated with the proper material property via an element property record. Access of assemblies with multiple parts and instances is now supported creating all necessary material and element property information. For more information on Pro/ENGINEER Material see File>Import (Ch. 4) in the MSC.Patran Reference Manual, Part 1: Basic Functions. Direct Pro/ENGINEER access/mesh technology has been implemented in MSC.Patran 2005 for all Windows and Unix platforms. This has replaced the GS- Mesher option which has been removed. With this new feature you now have direct access to Pro/ENGINEER Geometry, without the need for a translator. It is no longer necessary to import the geometry model separately. With this new feature it is no longer necessary to clean-up the model data or to heal and stitch the geometry. 7
