    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi Tuw, Thank you for your 2 last comments! They helped me a lot. Changing the element from Quad8 to Quad4 made the errors and the warnings in the Response simulation analysis disapear. And, like I thought, the frequency of the vibration modes increases with the pressure inside. However I...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi Tuw, During this week I have been working on this project. I couldn't view the NX help, I had a problem in the NX installation and I solved it. With the documentation of the NX, your comments and your videos I managed to have a solution (in response simulation) without fatal errors. However...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi Tuw, Thank you very much for the help! The video is very good. I had some troubles last week so I couldn't work on this project. I will try to do my inflatable structure with your tips and help that you gave me before ;) I will after publish here my feedback and my questions ;) Thank you...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi Tuw, Thanks for your answer and your work in my model. It helped me to understand some things in NX. I liked the way you split the model into its symmetry lines and how you applied the constrains. How did you do that? I think I don't have inertia relief option in SOL106 I don't understand...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi Tuw, Thanks for the information it was very helpful. I already obtain some results with the SOL 103 Response Simulation. But I have some strange warnings. Some of the links you gave to me in the last comment, they speak about SOL 106 and they refer to do a Restart analysis. I can't do this...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi again, I have been searching about the SOL 103 Response simulation, and I think if I can solve the static analysis it can solve my problem. But I have some questions that might you can help me. When I chose the analysis Sol 103-Response simulation it appears 3 subcases (Dynamics, Static...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi, Thank you for your answer. I'm new using the Siemens NX, so I don't know many things about it. How can I use that enforced motion location? I already check my mesh and experience another constrains and I can't solve any solution, it occurs always a fatal error. The only solution which I...

    Pressurized Inflatable structures - Frequency analysis

    Hi everyone, I hope that you can help me. I'm trying to do a simulation of a inflatable cylinder (100mm diameter and 500mm length). I model the cilinder using shell elements (PSHELL). The wall has a thickness of 0.5mm and the material can be PVC or polyurethane. My problem isn't in the...
