PAT301B provides an in-depth examination of the advanced features of Patran. Sample topics covered by PAT301B include: advanced Patran features usage for meshing and mesh refinement, use of various Patran Command Language (PCL) files for session customization, application of advanced geometric construction techniques, and definition of fields to represent spatially varying functions for loads and boundary conditions. (This course can be presented with PAT301A to make a 5-day class).
