    Creating a field that varies through space and time

    If anyone stumbles on this with the same question, I figured out a way around this problem. It's not prefect, but it's a workable solution. . . . If you can use Nastran as a processor and use a transient load case, it lets you use two different functions to represent space and time, and it...

    Creating a field that varies through space and time

    Hi, everyone, I am a little new to Patran, so I am not too sure of myself; hope this isn't too basic. I am trying to apply a heat flux to a surface, and I want the heat flux to vary by position in space (X, Y, Z) and time. I have found ways to vary it by just position and just time, but I...

    Meshing a hemisphere surface

    I've only been using Patran for a few weeks, so if this recommendation is too simplistic, then sorry! I've had similar trouble using extrusions. There is an option called "solid type" when you extrude or revolve where you can select "TetMeshable" or "IsoMeshable". That might help. Another...
