Other Analysis Program Interfaces

E.

This appendix defines the entities that the FEMAP interfaces transfer to finite element analysis programs. The interfaces included in this appendix are available in FEMAP, but are no longer maintained. They may not support more current versions of the analysis programs. The first section shows how FEMAP entities are translated to and from the analysis programs. For detailed instructions about using each of the FEMAP interfaces to analysis programs, see the following sections.

Using the Translation Tables The following pages contain tables that show how FEMAP entities are translated to and from the supported analysis programs. The numbered notes in the tables refer to the notes that follow the tables. You will find the notes are numbered from 1-N for each analysis program. Therefore, if you see note 6 in the column for ANSYS Write translator, that refers to Note 6 for ANSYS, not note 6 for one of the other programs. You will see numerous
