Question MSC Patran creates .bdf file

Hi all,
i´m a new one and have a question about MSC Patran,

i have a model from catia with mesh and i want to use Patran as a tool to create Group for my FEM model then export this mesh with groups later as a .bdf file, i´ve found out that the exporting works not with normal export function but with a Analysis-function (which create an input for Nastran) but the result does not contain the group which i´ve created

can anyone pls tell me what i´ve done wrong and how to fix it
thank you!

This is a CFX forum. Why are you posting questions about Patran/Nastran here? Or are you trying to get Patran/Nastran files into CFX?
