NASTRAN Superelements
NASTRAN Superelements
(OP)
Hi pals, any of you can suggest me where one can find documentation on the use of Superelements in NASTRAN? I have no possibility of attending the pertaining seminar, so any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

P.S.: I posted the question also on the MSC NASTRAN Software Forum: at the moment it is rather new and rather diserted; let's start it up, I guess a lot of good can come of it!

Superelements can dramatically reduce degrees of freedom in a structure when properly employed. Oftentimes, there is little degradation to the answers when compared with the full-dof systems.

Goodmorning to all,
A customer sent to me two external superelement in *.op4 format with *.asm and *.pch files included, and I have to perfom a Nastran analysis whit a residual structure.
I would like to know how to include the *.op4, *.asm and *.pch file in the main bulk data of the *.bdf file with the residual structure.
On the web I did't find naything about this argument.
Thank You very much, I really don't know how to proceed.

Hi Spirit,
MSC still has a specific manual available on using superelements. The last update of this manual was in 2006, if I'm not mistaken. If your company is a Nastran user then you should be able to access the manuals on the Net.
