CONVERT,<ConSel>,<model>,<filename>,…

This command gives the user access to the file converters (see section) without using the menu command and without need of the interactive GUI. The ANSYS® and the GTSTRUDL converters have more arguments after the file name.

• ConSel
  • SSI - for *.hou to model conversion
  • ANSYS - for *.cdb to model conversion
  • STRUDL - for GTSTRUL to model conversion
• model - destination model number
• filename - Full path name for the file to be converted.

CONVERT,ANSYS,…,<gravity>

• gravity - gavity value for the model being converted

CONVERT,STRUDL,…,<group>,<member>,<fematrib>,<prop>,<const>,<input>,<tie>

This converter has had very limited testing and should not be used for NQA applications. The joint file form the database should be placed in the filename name with its full path. the other files from the GTSTRUDL® database should have the file names listed without the path. The converter will append the path to the rest of the files. All of the database files should reside in the same directory.

• group - group database file
• member - member database file
• fematrib - FEM attribute file
• prop - properties file
• const - constraints file
• input- mass input file
• tie - spring properties
