To maintain a position at the cutting edge of state of the art engineering mechanics, an engineer must develop a reliable set of powerful working tools. In the Advanced Engineering Technology group at Los Alamos National Laboratory, we have established such a basis. Our projects have run the gamut from eyeballs to submarines and more. We use a variety of finite element codes in our analyses with PATRAN playing a central role, both as a preprocessor and as a postprocessor. This paper will emphasize a few projects that have used PATRAN, will highlight useful and disappointing aspects of PATRAN, and finally, will demonstrate the use of PATRAN as an effective communications tool. 13 figs., 1 tab.
