BDF file

[Panzerwolf]

Hello,
I'd like to know if it is possible using the same BDF file in different PATRAN versions. For example, could I use a BDF file created by Patran 2007 r2 and then imported in a db created by Patran 2005 r2?

Thanks

Yes you can.
You could have problem only if you use some nastran functionality not present in older version. But also in this case Patran will reject unknown cards and will read all others.
