PURPOSE

PATRAN is a program package for the pre- and postprocessing of the FEM (in structural analysis). The generation of the FEM mesh is supported by graphical equipment. The solutions can be plotted. The interface to FEM programs is the neutral file.

vempat writes a PATRAN neutral file from the geometrical mesh of the FEM mesh. The elements (except for the nodal element with CLASS=0) must have a unique element id number stored as the first integer vector parameter. The solution is handed over to PATRAN by the nodal result file, which is created by vepa97. Element results (e.g. stresses computed by vemu03) are written to the element result file by vepa99. vempat can be called without a preceding vemdis call.

METHOD

vempat writes to the neutral file on the first process only.

The Nodes

If DIM=3, VEMIDE writes the x-,y- and z-coordinates from the array NOD to the PATRAN neutral file (if DIM=2 or DIM=1, missing coordinates are filled by zeroes).

The Elements

The first integer parameter is the element id number (except for the nodal elements (CLASS=0)). It must be unique, i.e. there must exist no elements with the same element number. The elements with CLASS=0 create the nodal forces in a load set. The real vector parameters are written to the components of the forces. If NRVP is greater than 6, only the first six vector parameters are considered. Missing values are set to zero.

Dirichlet Conditions

The Dirichlet conditions generate the displacements in special constraint sets. If COMP6=0, the Dirichlet conditions create one constraint set. If NK is greater than 6, only the first six components are considered. If COMP6<>0, every component d creates one constraint set with constraint set id d, which contains all Dirichlet conditions of the component d. The first real vector parameter defines the value of the displacements. Missing values are set to zero.
