Requesting certain Modal outputs graphically

[VN1981]

Hi,
Is it possible to request certain modal outputs like Modal Participation Factors, Modal Effective Mass & Modal Effective Mass Fraction graphically via Patran?

I looked around Output Requests and was unable to find any options to request the above. So, it is the usual practice to manually request them on the BDF file before submitting for analysis in Nastran?

Thx

I found answer to my own question.

It seems like Patran currently does not support graphical output selection for the above modal factors.

From

" The METHOD card is already written by Patran and SimXpert for Normal Modes (Sol 103). This card is used to select the eigenvalue extraction card (EIGR or EIGRL) that determines how many modes are to be extracted.

To get the modal effective mass, you only need to add the MEFFMASS(ALL)=YES in a direct text input in the case-control section.

In Patran it can be done either on the main analysis form -> Direct text input or on the direct text input section for a subcase."
