Hello Greg, Can you please explain, if possible, somewhat about "the frequencies of the bounce pitch and roll modes" so that we can have better understanding about topic,

I got the answer similar to what Greg had said by an Analyst working in an automobile company.

Hello All, I have started learning frequency or modal analysis using FEA. I have one basic question. Will the sequence of first six rigid modes during frequency or modal analysis will always remain same? Also, what is the significance of these rigid body modes? Please bear with me for this...

if the hole is throughout, first create surface mesh and then extrude it either by extrusion or by 3D sweep

Hi SofieneFEA , You can use 3Dsweep for generating hex meshes. Of course, the functinality is not so easy to use and difficult in complex geometry. You may have to vary the tolerance everytime to capture mesh. But the mesh you would get by this functionality is quite good. Also, you can use...

Hi All, I am finding difficulty in modeling of a car parts using 3D and 2D mesh. The problem comes at the interface of solid and shell elements. The reason I think is the degrees of freedom. So can anybody suggest me how to model in such a case?

I think rb1957 has probably not seen the catia version v5r16. It has the capacity to use thousands of loads having multi-load case,combined case,transfer of displacements as well as loads from sub-analysis to main-analysis.For a rough analysis at designer level, it is emerging as a very useful...

Hi friends, I have just started learning fea. I have a basic fea question. My question is why there are 3 degrees of freedom in solid. Why there are no rotational degrees of freedom in 3D elements unlike in 2D elements.
