Structural Parametric Modeling and Analysis of a Ship Stiffened Deck Plate Based on the Patran Command Language

Abstract:

As a numerical calculation method in math, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) has been imported into the structural analysis field for more than 30 years. MSC. Patran was launched by the MSC Corporation into the field as a pre-processing and post-processing module of FEA, its strong potential of secondary development has played an important role in the structural parametric modeling analysis. Patran Command Language (PCL) is the built-in language of MSC. Patran. In this paper, in order to introduce PCL’s theory and using method, the author created a GUI by PCL which contains a lot of response functions in a ship stiffened deck plate project.
