III.1.1 “NastranDb” class

A “NastranDb” object can be created by a statement using “new” method like:

    db=NastranDb.new()

Method “initialize” initializes or clears a NastranDb object. This class is a specialization of the FeResPost “DataBase” class.

The model can be defined by reading a Bulk Data File, or an op2 file. (See the corresponding methods below.)
