In case no one is aware, there is a bug in the Nastran
exporter that comes with Solid Works 2007.When outputting material
properties, the value of Specific Heat is reported as the Molar
Specific Heat * 10^5. Why it's outputting the molar specific heat
multiplied by that constant is completing unknown to me, but I am
100% certain the value in SI units ( J/ kg*K ) should be returned,
as there's no way to work backwards to determine that value unless
the molar mass is sent in the nastran file, but it is not.For
example, taking aluminum, solid works says the specific heat is 900
and looking at a GEO file confirms this, but looking at the nastran
converted file gives a value of .243*10^7. Because of this error, I
have to manually modify all of the nastran created files from
cosmos.
