Notes:

  1. *CONSTRAINED_NODAL_RIGID_BODY cards are converted to *MPC of BEAM type only.
  2. *ELEMENT_BEAM crads are converted to *ELEMENT with Type B31 only.
  3. Three noded shells are written as *ELEMENT, TYPE=S3R while four noded shells are written as *ELEMENT, TYPE=S4.
  4. Four noded, six noded and eight noded solids are converted to types C3D4, C3D6 and C3D8 respectively.
  5. All *SECTION_BEAM cards with elform =1 are converted to *BEAM SECTION with SECTION=CIRC .
  6. All *SECTION_BEAM cards with elform =12 are converted to *BEAM GENERAL SECTION with SECTION=GENERAL .
