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.

  • Note: An example of a method of supplying or generating data is outlined in sections 2.2~2.4.
  • A normal simulation includes the following steps.
