Nastran: how to obtain 1-sigma stresses for SOL 111

Nastran: how to obtain 1-sigma stresses for SOL 111

Nastran: how to obtain 1-sigma stresses for SOL 111

(OP)
How can I obtain from a sol 111, random vibration analysis with input PSD curve, the 1-sigma, 2 sigma and 3-sigma stresses in MSC/Nastran?

Thank you

RE: Nastran: how to obtain 1-sigma stresses for SOL 111

If you have Patran, you can just use the MSC.Random tool.  Run sol 111 with 1G and post process the PSD with MSC.Random.

Thank you mae1778. That helps a bit, however, we dont use Patran, so is there any other way? arethe 1-sigma stresses contained in the fo6 or op2 output?

Thanks

RE: Nastran: how to obtain 1-sigma stresses for SOL 111

I've never done this myself, as I use the MSC.Random tool, but according to nas102_wk10.pdf (not sure about the copy-write rules, otherwise I would post it for you) on the MSC support page, you would add:

Random = n (same number as the RLOAD2 table ID)

to your subcase control and reference the PSD in your RLOAD2 card.  

For RMS Values, you would  add something like:
XYPLOT ACCEL PSDF / NodeID(direction)

Hope this helps.  I might try it out myself.
