Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis setup
The default Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis installation (setup_fe.exe) installs Nastran 2008r1. If an older FE Analysis version (Nastran 70.5) is already installed, you need to uninstall this version first or use setup_parallel.exe. The parallel Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis installation (setup_parallel.exe) installs Nastran 2008r1 in addition to Nastran 70.5 (if already installed).
Creo Elements/Direct Modeling supports and uses Nastran 2008r1 if installed. If Nastran 2008r1 is not installed, Creo Elements/Direct Modeling uses Nastran 70.5.
After you install Creo Elements/Direct Finite Element Analysis, you may need to perform additional setup steps for the Analyze function to work properly.
Set the NASTRAN scratch directory. This defaults to C:\TEMP. Reconfigure it by editing your da_customize file. Currently everything is commented out. Uncomment and change if needed. You may have to manually create C:\TEMP.
