MSC.Software Confidential Super-Model Integration

MSC.Software Confidential Patran 2011 SuperModel Integration into Core Patran Many of SuperModels capabilities have already been incorporated into core Patran. This effort simply completes that effort. Brings useful capabilities into Patran without having to develop them from scratch New core capabilities are preference specific and integrated into standard menus An Icon Ribbon already exists No changes show up if Patran is opened with –ifile init_sm.pcl - synchronize Supported on all platforms
