NASTRAN-G(1) User Commands NASTRAN-G(1)

nastran-g - NASTRAN Translator (NASTRAN to BRL-CAD)

nastran-g [-xX lvl] [-t tolerance_distance] [-n] [-m] -i nastran_input_file -o database.g

nastran-g converts the specified nastran_input_file to a BRL-CAD database.g file. The tolerance_distance provided is the maximum distance (in mm) between two vertices at which they will be considered to be the same vertex. The -n option requests that the output solids created from NASTRAN CQUAD4 or CTRIA3 elements be stored in the BRL-CAD file as NMG solids rather than as the default BOT solids. The -m option indicates that the units of the NASTRAN file are millimeters, rather than the default inches. The converter currently only handles the CROD, CBAR, CTRIA3, and CQUAD4 elements.

The -x and -X options are for debug levels.

$ nastran-g -i nastran.file -o sample.g

Error messages are intended to be self-explanatory.
