    L structure

    I am trying to analyse a divan and i just want to model a basic outline model to see how the deflection is using honeycomb structure.so i juss want to tie nodes at the interface.

    Honey comb modeling

    how do we go about modeling a complicated honeycomb design using pcomp.suppose there are multiple parts connected to one another . do we have to assign local orientation to see that the face of each part falls on the x-y plane.

    assembly

    i always thought the significance of tying nodes is to force the 2 nodes to behave in the same fashion..isnt there a direct tie option in nastran? thanks for your patience.

    L structure

    Suppose i have a l-shaped honey comb structure. can i juss model the horizontal panel and verticla panel seperately and then tie the nodes at their intersection.or is there any other guidelines i need to follow. i know that i would have to define local orientation for the panels so that their...

    assembly

    actually its a simple assembly.not a complicated one.what i was thinking was to tie the nodes of the different parts.how do i tie the nodes in nastran?

    assembly

    So does it mean that i would have to create the entire assembly in one goup and not part wise and then assemble it?

    assembly

    in ne nastran how do i model different parts and then assemble them. like in abaqus u create different parts and then in assembly module u create an instance and assemble the model. is there a way i can follow this method in nastran?

    Honey comb modeling

    if i have the midsurface can i still use pcomp method to idelaise a sandwich panel or should i use pshell method.and if i have to use pshell method do i have to give only the facing thickness as the Taverage. thanks.

    Deleting property and material

    is it not possible to delete the material and the propert defined in a .NAS file. if yes how do i do it 'cause i am not able to..thanks

    Midsurface modeling

    what is the advantage of juss modeling the top face of a sandwich panel over modeling the midsurface of the panel? any insight. or can a sandiwch panel be idealised by midsurface modeling?

    bolted joint.

    what would happen if all the bolts are rigid in a joint. would all the bolt carry the same load? and what about deflection?

    Honey comb modeling

    i got it to work. i actually had overconstrained the model and i constrained it in the right way later. it matches well wth the theoretical result. Thanks. Is there an example of composite laminate modeling. if there is could u send me the link. Thanks.

    Boundary conditions

    hey greg..yes it matches well with the test data.thanks

    Boundary conditions

    thanks everyone for ur inputs..i had used the bc as stated by airmail aleady and it worked perfectly fine. thanks once again

    Honey comb modeling

    ok, i dnt understand where i could have gone wrong, this is what i have done: i have modeled the top face of the skin and have defined 2 materials. one for the facing and the other for the core. and in property i have used laminate and have defined isotropic for the facings and have...
