Does a user manual exist for BPOPT?
Version: 5.8-04
Introduction
No user manual exists for Bpopt (Band and Profile Optimiser). Bpopt is considered to be an obsolete program, meaning that we are not planning any further development on it. However, some information regarding Bpopt that may be useful to users that are using Bpopt, or considering to use it, can be found below.
Application
For direct analysis using the SOLM card (Multifront solver), the optimization using Bpopt is not necessary (and can even make matters worse). For superelement analysis it can still be relevant, but we are working on other tools that will avoid this process for jackets as well. We will therefore not spend more time on new efforts regarding Bpopt, for which my apologies.
Further information
sFurther information on the use of Bpopt can be found in the Sestra user manual section 3.1.4 and the Presel user manual section 3.10. Both manuals can be downloaded on the Content section of the Customer Portal.
