Installation Instructions
=========================

** Installing a solver patch for NX:

* Copy the patch to the nxcae_extras directory and extract the solver files

** Installing a solver patch for FEMAP:

* Copy the patch to the FEMAP installation directory and extract the solver
files

** Note: To preserve the original tmg solver files, rename the tmg directory before
installing the patch.
