Change the file extension of your text file to whatever input file type your solver uses (.bdf for NASTRAN) then, in FEMAP, go to file/import/analysis model, choose your solver, hit OK, then point to your data file.

Thank you!
But i´m dificult with the commands of the FEMAP
How to put it in a list, for exemple to crete a rectangle
of length arest one, after create a surface and a mesh.
 
Y on earth would you want to build a model with text instructions ? ... it'd be Way easier to write a NASTRRAN .bdf file and import that into FeMap.

I'm sure FeMap has something similar to PATRAN's session file (which records the partran instructions for building a model), but I've never had to resort to using it (as the GUI is good enough).
 
Hi

Perhaps you are after the program file (pro-file). With that you can record your actions in the gui and also write text commands. I have never used it like that but it should be possible.

Oh my! I think it would be easier to read the FEMAP manual and learn to use that interface...and a lot more powerful in the long run.
