Patran- Features, Application, Working and Career Scope
Patran is used by the world’s leading manufacturing companies as their standard tool for the creation and analysis of simulation models. It helps engineers virtually conceptualize, develop and test product designs. It was exclusively developed for the aerospace industry.
WHAT IS Patran
Patran is a widespread pre/post-processing software for Finite Element Analysis. It provides modeling, meshing, analysis setup, and post-processing for multiple solvers which include MSC Nastran, Marc, Abaqus, LS-DYNA, ANSYS, and Pam-Crash. It provides a rich set of tools that streamline the creation of analysis-ready models for linear, nonlinear, explicit dynamics, thermal, and other finite element solutions. It makes it easy for engineers to deal with gaps and slivers in CAD and enables the creation of models from scratch. Meshes are easily created on surfaces and solids. It is available for Windows and Linux. MSC offers a free student version of MSC Patran. Patran’s comprehensive and industry-tested capabilities ensure virtual prototyping efforts. It provides faster results.
