Chapter III.1
Nastran Preferences

Most methods peculiar to the post-processing of Nastran finite element Results and models are defined in class “NastranDb” that inherits the “DataBase” class. This class is described in section III.1.1. A list of the methods defined in “NastranDb” class is given in Table III.1.1.

Table III.1.1The different methods that have been defined in “NastranDb” class. See also the methods defined in generic DataBase class (Table I.1.1). Methods marked with “(s)” are singleton methods.



(FeResPost list of classes is given in Table 1 page 27.)



(See also methods in generic DataBase class.)
