Mesh importation (NASTRAN, PATRAN, UNV Ideas formats)

Introduction

This section presents mesh data importation in standard formats:

  • NASTRAN neutral
  • PATRAN neutral
  • UNV (UNiVersel Ideas Master Serie)
  • MED (Data Exchange Model)

Context

The importation of a geometry starting from the mesh file is an operation which enables the construction of geometry by using the mesh information of the initial file.

This data importation offers to Flux projects the possibility to consider complex geometries , having complex surfaces ( poly-surfaces ) in a Flux project under the form of "broken surfaces".

These surfaces cannot be directly built with the Flux tools proposed.
