Support for Multiple FEA Solvers
Tailored to support all solvers developed by MSC, Patran enables the use of common finite element models, including third-party tools, in a single graphical user environment.
Patran
A complete FEA modeling solution
Patran is the world's most widely used pre/post-processing software for finite element analysis (FEA), providing solid modeling, meshing, analysis setup, and post-processing for multiple solvers. Patran provides a rich set of tools that streamline the creation of analysis-ready models for linear, nonlinear, explicit dynamics, thermal.
Why choose Patran?
Direct Access to CAD Geometry
Create finite element models, including loads, boundary conditions, and material properties, with access to geometry from leading CAD systems.
Post-Processing and Reporting
Patran displays results for structural, thermal, fatigue, fluid, and magnetic analyses, or for any application where the values are associated with their respective finite elements or nodes.
Capabilities of Patran
Automate Modeling and Processes
Use feature recognition and automation to edit and adjust models and workflows.
Feature Recognition
Patran’s sophisticated feature recognition capability allows users to delete or edit holes, fillets, and chamfers.
Automatically Reapply Meshes
For 3D solid geometry, existing meshes and loads are automatically reapplied to the model after a change is made to the geometry.
Patran Command Language
Patran Command Language (PCL) provides many features found in traditional programming languages, making it ideal for automating workflows and processes.
