About MDOL Translator Limitations

  • The following features cannot be translated:

  • Dynamic MDOL

  • Knowledge rules

  • Quality engineering (other than Monte Carlo Simulation and Six Sigma using the Analysis run mode)

  • Trade-off analysis

  • User-supplied gradients

  • Nastran blocks

  • Tcl scripts, especially iSIGHT Tcl API routines (these can be stubbed as commented text in Isight Script components)

  • Procedures block
