21、ty gives the ability to make documents such as presentations or technical papers available to users from the Utilities menu.New in v2005r2.FILE* Print ScreendumpPCL to customize bv_print, which is able to convert for instance .xwd files into several formats like PostScript, GIF, etc. This tool also

22、allows to directly print a file. Note that some file formats can be created directly in core Patran (File/Images).* Auto Capture ScreendumpPCL which allows to automatically capture screendumps, convert these and store them such that they can be used to create animations. This tool also allows to dir

23、ectly print a file. Note that some file formats can be created directly in core Patran (File/Images).* VRML TranslatorPCL to translate nodes and elements to VRML V2.0 format. Obsolete; functionality now supported in core Patran (File/Images).* Hardcopy Bitmap/PolygonThis utility can be used to selec

24、t whether a hardcopy file will be created in bitmap or polygon format. With bitmap, file is small but uneditable, with bad element edges. With polygon, file is larger, but editable and higher quality. Note: has no effect in the Windows versions of Patran.* Export/Import STL FilesUsed to import or ex

25、port ASCII-format STL files. Import functionality now supported in core Patran (File/Import); export still only available here.GROUP* Create Multiple Groups.PCL to create single or multiple groups based on element shapes (Bar, Tria, Quad, etc.), topology (Quad4, Quad8, etc.), type (Shell, Membrane,

26、etc.), property association, material association, MPC type (Explicit, RBE2, etc.), LBC set, and LBC type (Displacement, Pressure, etc.) WARNING! All MSC.Patran Lists (lista, listb, listc) may be overwritten by this PCL! This capability was migrated into core patran functionality in v2001r2a.* Group

27、s From Properties.Creates groups of elements based on the elements property association. Uses the property set name in the group name for easy identification. Groups from property set names like PSET.12 will have a name like: prop_pset.00012 based on the highest number in token 2. Also puts all elem

28、ents which do not have properties assigned to them in a group. This capability was superceded by core Patran functionality in v2001r2a.* Group Elements with No Properties Puts all elements that do not have properties assigned to them in a single group (prop_NO_PROPERTIES).* Supergroups Allows groups

29、 to be created from groups of groups or groups to be posted/saved in sets. These sets (or Supergroups) are simply a list of groups and other Supergroups associated to a name (75 characters) and optional 80 character description. They are saved as Client Data in the database.v2005r2 update: bugfixes*

30、 Group Reorganize.Reorganizes groups based on associativity, i.e., adds all nodes associated with elements in a group to that group. Other entity associations include points associated with geometry and elements associated with geometry.v2006 update: reduced size of listbox such that Apply/Cancel button are visible on low resolution devices too.* Group Extend + MPCs.Quickly adds all e
