Patran 2024.1 full cracked release

$ 150.00

Patran stands as the leading pre/post-processing software for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) globally, offering robust features for solid modeling, meshing, analysis configuration, and post-processing across various solvers such as MSC Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, and Pam-Crash.

The software is equipped with an extensive array of tools designed to facilitate the development of models ready for analysis in linear, nonlinear, explicit dynamics, thermal, and other finite element applications. Engineers benefit from geometry cleanup functionalities that address issues like gaps and slivers in CAD files, alongside solid modeling capabilities that allow for the creation of models from the ground up. Patran simplifies the meshing process, enabling users to generate meshes on both surfaces and solids through fully automated routines, manual techniques for greater precision, or a combination of both. Additionally, it incorporates built-in features for applying loads, boundary conditions, and setting up analyses for the most widely used FE solvers, significantly reducing the need for manual input adjustments.

With its comprehensive and industry-validated features, Patran ensures that virtual prototyping is efficient, delivering rapid results that allow for thorough evaluation of product performance against specified requirements and facilitating design optimization…

Description

Patran, a leading software for pre- and post-processing in Finite Element Analysis (FEA), has unveiled new features in its 2024.1 version. This update enhances Patran’s rotor dynamics functionalities, incorporates support for HDF5 and MSC Nastran Cards, integrates with the advanced high-performance solver in SOL400, and improves the graphical interface.

Patran 2024.1 Release Highlights

  • Rotordynamics 

The new  Rotor dynamics capabilities offer faster, more user-friendly solutions. The updated graphical interface eases the flow of analysis and adds additional functionality.

A completely new user interface facilitates job setup for rotordynamics. The interface guides the user through multiple steps, allowing them to specify all relevant parameters, including rotation speed and rotor ID, which makes identifying the rotor in the post-processing phase easier.

Multiple rotors can now be included in the same analysis. Different rotors can also be modelled using different techniques, mixing 1D, 2D, and 3D models. The reference rotor can be easily identified, and different rotational speeds can be assigned to the rotors in the model. The correct critical frequency can also be assigned to each rotor.

Patran also completely supports nonlinear harmonic response for MSC Nastran SOL 128. In Patran 2024.1, harmonic elements (CQUADX/TRIAX/PAXSYMN) and rigid connections via RBAX3D connectors are now supported. Users can now specify loads and boundary conditions in a variety of formats (tabular, product, power, radial gap, squeeze film damper, and 3D bush loadings).

  • Model Import via HDF5:
Users now have several options for handling model and results data from HDF5 files.  Users can import the model and attach the results from the HDF5 file in a single step (method: “Both”), attach only results (method: “Result Entities”), or only import model data (method: “Model Data”)

  • Composites enveloping: 

Patran is now able to visually identify which elements (in each ply) have the maximum or minimum values of stress, strain, or any other available result.

  • New Nastran Card Support: NLMOPTS,NLSSEL options for NLPERF:
The high-performance nonlinear solver (NLPERF), introduced in the current MSC Nastran 2024.1 release, is based on a revamped SOL400 architecture optimised for efficiency and speed. Patran 2024.1 introduces support for MSC Nastran NLPERF using the existing NLMOPTS parameter. The NLSSEL (select “nonlinear solver”) parameter has been added to the NLMOPTS card in the implicit preference (SOL400). The NLSSEL  parameter allows users to select their preferred nonlinear solver.
  • New Nastran Card Support:  ACCEL and ACCEL1 Support:
Patran 2024.1 introduces import and export support for static acceleration (ACCEL/ACCEL1) in both structural and implicit preferences. ACCEL/ACCEL1 represent static acceleration loads, that remain constant over time. They are applicable in both static and dynamic analyses.
  • ACCEL1: This load type is applied at specified nodes, offering localized control over the analysis.
  • ACCEL: ACCEL is uniformly applied across the entire model without specifying any application region.
  • New Nastran Card Support: MDLPRM OFFDEF:
Patran 2024.1 introduces import and export support for MDLPRM OFFDEF for both structural and implicit preferences. The MDLPRM offset option is available under the analysis/translation parameters in the user interface. It has two main options:
  • Standard Nastran offsets (ELMOFF)
  • Large Rotation offsets (LROFF)
  • Graphical enhancements: Supports property and material-based rendering:
Patran now supports property and material-based rendering in addition to entity type and group rendering. The render/display option provides more than 16 colours through new rendering methods. This version also includes model browser tree improvements and improved performance.

  • Graphical enhancements- The streamlined ribbon menu corresponds with legacy Patran:
The “Classic Mode” of Patran guides the user through the modelling workflow, with options conveniently arranged in sequential steps flowing from left to right. The new ribbon menu mimics this behaviour and corresponds to the familiar “Classic Mode” view of Patran.
  • Removal of legacy support for importing BDF and attaching OP2:
MSC Nastran deprecated the i4 format, making Patran 2023.4 the last version which used the i4 toolkit to import MSC Nastran files and attach OP2 files. These capabilities are now removed from Patran 2024.1.
