P3/PATRAN(R) is an open-ended 3-D Mechanical Computer Aided Engineering (MCAE) system that offers next-generation technology in linking engineering design, analysis, and results evaluation.
P3/PATRAN(R) uses a Motif(tm)-based interface that is exceptionally easy to use and easy to learn. P3/PATRAN(R) also offers unparalleled integration. Using a concept called the Single Geometric Model (SGM), P3/PATRAN(R) allows a finite element analysis model to be created directly from a CAD system without translating or re-creating the design geometry. P3/PATRAN(R)'s analysis integration allows an engineer to create run-ready decks for solvers such as MSC/NASTRAN using syntax specific to each code. In addition, P3/PATRAN(R) provides unrivaled engineering functionality and customizability.
