GETTING STARTED

An eta/DYNAFORM session begins with one of the following scenarios:

 

1.        The user supplies CAD-IGES or VDA or any other geometry data that will be translated and read directly into eta/DYNAFORM.

 

2.        The user supplies model data (e.g. NASTRAN, LS-DYNA, etc.) that will be read directly into eta/DYNAFORM.

 

3.        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.
