Chapter III.0
Introduction

In this Part of the document, the preferences for the different solvers supported by FeResPost are described. Most preferences are defined as methods and member data of the classes specializing the “DataBase” class defined in Chapter I.1. Presently, two solvers are supported: Nastran and Samcef. The corresponding classes specializing the “DataBase” class are “NastranDb” and “SamcefDb” classes. The corresponding preferences are described in Chapters III.1 and III.2 respectively. The diagram of Figure I.1.1 representing the “DataBase” hierarchy can be more precisely represented as in Figure 1.
