This section describes how to configure the PDMS interface in Smart Materials. There are several steps required to work with the PDMS interface.
The PDMS interface contains two different types of transfers: ident transfer and specification transfer. Some steps are the same for both kind of transfers, and some are only for one type of transfer.
The transfer generates a set of ASCII files that can be separated into one file for the specifications (SPECON) and a set of files for the ident transfer. For more information about the purpose of each individual file, see Ident Transfer.
These files are loaded into PDMS.
