After creating a separate directory for running Patran, I can find any of the Patran files in that directory?

In the “Open/New Database” form it is possible to move to directories other than from which Patran was invoked/started (using the filter box). If you had not invoked Patran from that directory then the Patran files will not be placed in that directory. For example if you are a first time user you may have a created a separate directory but forgetting to change to that directory before invoking Patran is a common mistake. Go to your HOME directory using cd and then use the following command to search for the patran database. find ./ -name “*.db” The other Patran files will be found in the directory from which you invoked PATRAN. If necessary move these files to the desired directory using the mv command (make sure you are NOT running PATRAN while you are doing this).
