Geometry information can be exported in Patran (.pat) format, using the studyrlt utility.
This function is equivalent to using the user interface feature 
()
The command line call to export geometry in Patran format is:
studyrlt <study> -exportpatran
where the arguments are described as follows:
| Arguments | Description |
|---|---|
| <study> | Study filename with extension. |
| -exportpatran | Export the geometry information to a Patran (.pat) file based on the specified study file. |
Note: The Patran file name will use the study file name prefix with the .pat extension, and the file will be stored in the same location as the study file.
Example 1
Write out the geometry information (node and element data) associated with the study file cpu_base.sdy in Patran format. The new file will be cpu_base.pat.
Studyrlt cpu_study.sdy –exportpatran
