Converting Ansys Model into Patran
Converting Ansys Model into Patran
(OP)
I need to convert an ANSYS model into Patran. What type of files does Patran read? Can geomtry and components transfer or just nodes and elements? Any help is appreciated...

The normal standard elements like brick, wedge, tetra, 4 nodes shell etc can transfer, but some special elements like contacts not. The special features of the elements (some informations for the solver etc.) normaly also is not transfered. So check it!
But after it I also say FEMFAT is the best solution to do this job.

Does anyone have a link to a site that defines the Patran Neutral file format for various elements, material properties, etc.....
