Actran Solver Interface

HyperMesh includes an Actran user profile and template for specifying Actran properties on a HyperMesh model and outputting an Actran input deck.

An Actran model is defined in HyperMesh by the following steps:

1.	Create materials

2.	Create components

3.	Create mesh on the appropriate components

4.	Define boundary conditions, both node-related and element face-related

5.	Define the control card properties

6.	Create the Actran input deck file

Four types of materials can be defined: fluid, visco-elastic, porous, and viscothermal fluid.
