FEMAP Model Regenerate
FEMAP Model Regenerate
(OP)
I am new to FEMAP. I have what I hope is a simple FEMAP question.
Say I have a square plate with all four edges constrained. I run a modal analysis and get an answer. For kicks, I deleted the contraints and used model/analysis/analyze to re-run the model. It runs but the results are the same ie the model did not update with the deleted contraints. I looked for a regenerate model buttton did not see anything of use in the help menu. The cntl-G button did not help. Certaintly I must be missing something easy.

The results are appended to the end of the previous set so if you are requesting 10 modes, the 2nd run should be modes 11-21.
I looked and this is the case. FEMAP is nothing like Solidworks Simulation!

Thanks for the reply.

The FEMAP "Commands" manual and the User's Guide are very helpful (I found the Commands manual moreso). The vendor your company purchased the software from should offer courses on the software at a resonable price. If they don't, several companies do.
The more you use FEMAP, the more you will like it. I had used MSC PATRAN for pre and post processing for a number of years before moving to a company that preferred FEMAP. Though I was initially a little hesitant to embrace the software, now I can't think of any reason short of a command from on-high that would make me go back to PATRAN.

have you selected the right output set ? if you deleted the constraints i wonder how it ran ? maybe it didn't produce any results (so you have only one output set) ??

a simpel way is to define constraint sets; use different sets to define different supports for the model. make the desired set active in the analysis ...
