GETTING STARTED
An eta/DYNAFORM session begins with one of the following scenarios:
The user supplies CAD-IGES or VDA or any other geometry data that will be translated and read directly into eta/DYNAFORM.
The user supplies model data (e.g. NASTRAN, LS-DYNA, etc.) that will be read directly into eta/DYNAFORM.
CAD or model data is not supplied. Therefore, the user begins with an empty database and generates or digitizes the line data from a drawing.
A normal simulation includes the following steps.
