Technical Product Overview

As a pre- and post-processor, Patran connects model preparation with different FEA solvers.

CAD geometry

Import, repair and simplify geometry before meshing.

Meshing

Create, edit, smooth and locally refine finite element meshes.

Analysis models

Define materials, loads and boundary conditions.

Solver interfaces

Prepare models for solvers including MSC Nastran and Marc.

Results assessment

Visualise analysis results and prepare reports.

Automation

Customise and automate repetitive tasks with Patran Command Language (PCL).

Where is Patran used?

  • Model preparation

    Work with CAD geometry and existing finite element models.

  • Analysis setup

    Prepare structural and thermal analyses for the chosen solver.

  • Model variants

    Organise meshes, loads and result displays for recurring analysis tasks.
