Quick Reference Guide
This Quick Reference Guide documents CoFE input file entries. CoFE uses Nastran-format input data, so commercial preprocessing tools (e.g. Femap or PATRAN) can be used to create CoFE input files. Not all commercial-Nastran features are supported (e.g., shell offsets); limitations are documented in this guide.
CoFE ignores unrecognized executive control and case control entries. Unrecognized bulk data entries result in a fatal error at runtime.
Executive Control Entries
Case Control Entries
Abbreviated case control entries will be unrecognized and ignored. For example, entering DISP rather than DISPLACEMENT, or SPCFORCE rather than SPCFORCES will result in the request being ignored.
