Hello,
I am trying to re-run a NASTRAN FEM in OptiStruct, and hence trying to adjust the script to make it compatible with OptiStruct. Could anyone let me know the command equivalent to PARAM, MPCX, 1 in OptiStruct?
Regards

I think MPCX is not yet available with Optistruct.
Yes, it is not available. I am new to both NASTRAN and Optistruct. Is there any equivalent command for MPCX in Optistruct?
Could you tell me the usage of MPCX command in Nastran?
PARAM,MPCX controls whether the grid point connectivity created by the MPC, MPCADD, and MPCAX entries and/or the rigid element entries (e.g., RBAR) is considered during resequencing
-1 ------> Do not consider the connectivity of the MPC, MPCADD, MPCAX, or rigid element entries. 0 ------> Consider the connectivity of the rigid element entries only. (Default). >0 ------> Consider the connectivity of the rigid element entries and the MPC, MPCADD, and MPCAX entries with the set identification number set to the value of this parameter.
I believe India support team will share more relevant information to you on this topic.
