POINT LOADING IN I-DEAS FEA
POINT LOADING IN I-DEAS FEA
(OP)
Hi ya all,
Please I need someone who is familiar with I-DEAS to assist. I am currently using I-DEAS for my composite FEA analysis, but I am having problem with my simulation.
Firstly, I have problem in assigning a point load unto a surface. I tried using the node point loading technique but I-DEAS doesnt seems to recognize the nodes created in the Boundary condition environment.
Secondly,how do I assign my created laminate material to my FEA Model. when I creat the laminates, do I put-away to Directory or to Back-up. Also do I assign the materials in the meshing environment using the mesh method, or using the materials icon. When I use the mesh method, I can't locate the laminate I created, but when I use the Materials Icon, I could find it stored in the MDS database.
I will be very grateful you your candid assistance.
Many thanks.

First create separate ply properties then build the laminate. I-deas subsequently creates a material with a default name. That is the material you need to use when you apply the fibre orientation.

many thanks.

I think the directory or back-up option has to do with site specific settings. In the standalone version I used to run I could only specify a name for the laminate.
The problem assigning the material sounds familiar. Are you sure the ply properties are correctly defined? The nu values are important and what is defined as null value.
