    Table driven kinematics

    Hi, Does anyone know of a method to drive a kinematic assembly from a lookup table of values instead of with laws. I have a mechanism with 3 commands and I want to simulate about 1000 discrete points. I have the command values already in excel, and it would be a pain to have to draw out a law...

    Importing Marc results into Patran 2005

    Hello, I have the results of a FE analysis from MSC.Marc. The output file (.t16) is huge (8GB) and I can't open it in Marc. I have seen its possible to import results into Patran but it doesn't seem to be able to import the .t16 files. Does anyone know a way around this? Tim

    Borrowing/offline use - MSC Licenses, Adams.Car, Marc, Patran

    I would like to setup our MSC products to run while I'm not connected to our network (like I have seen done with Catia in my last work place) There does not seem to be a lot of information freely available on this and we don't have a support contract any more with MSC so I'm hoping you guys can...

    Symmetry part not showing in drawing

    Hi there, I have a problem of a symmetry part not completely showing up in my drawing. Only the first part body in its tree is shown. Nothing else is coming through. It might be a memory problem because I am getting out of memory warnings from CATIA. Is it possible to create drawings without...

    Step file opens empty

    Hi there, I have a STP file of an assembly which is opening without error but there is no geometry showing. The file is 70Mb so the information must be in there somewhere. The tree opens with all of the part names. When I try to "Activate Node" or "Activate terminal node" (under...
