patran converter

[nico68]

Hi all .
I m actually working on patran 2001 r2a, and I got a .db file, made with patran 2000; but I can't manage to open it.
The file has been zipped and sent to me : can this cause a problem ???
I just wonder if some convertors are available...
thanks for replying

Ask to the person that sent you that zipped file for the neutral file.
The nuetral file is a ascii file independent of the patran version.

yep; that's effectively a solution, but do you know if the groups will be lost or not by using this technique ????
thanks again for replying.
