Question about Gap Elements
Hi Sherbrooke, If you want to avoid nonlinear (due to the large model size), I would recommend replacing the gap elements with springs elements (in the NEiModeler you can do this by creating a spring property, and going to Modify-Update Elements-Type, and choose all the gaps, and then pick the... -
Best Harwdare Configuration
Hi Ishmael, I would recommend the following system: Intel Woodcrest (Xeon 5100) 3.0Ghz (dual CPU if you have the $$, for a total of 4 cores). 3-4GB of RAM if you are using XP, 4GB+ if using Windows x64. Nvidia QuadroFX 1300 or higher (depending upon budget) A SCSI RAID0 setup with 2-3 drives...- NoranTech

Contact analyse, NeNastran / Femap
Dear Andy, There haven't been any changes to FEMAP in regards to displaying SSHL results in going from V9.0 to V9.2. We have confirmed that SSHL results are visible in FEMAP V9.2 with NEiNastran V9.0. What I would recommend is opening the .nas example problem 6 from our examples folder... -
Multi-Body Load in Nastran
In NEi nastran you may want to look at the continuation for the GRAV entry. It allows for 3 tables which define how the GRAV load can vary with position. Just let us know if you need more help. TID1, TID2, TID: TABLEDi set identification numbers that define position dependent scale factors in...- NoranTech

Auto generate variable plate thickness
Hi Steve, Yes, you can do this in FEMAP by first meshing the surface with plate elements and then going to Modify-Update Elements-Adjust Plate. Select the elements you want to modify, and then the "Update Plate Element Thickness" window will appear. You can then use the Equation option in there...- NoranTech

The results v9 vs. v8
Dear Beginner77, In NEiNastran V9 the HEXINODE/QUADINODE=AUTO setting will set HEXINODE/QUADINODE=ON for models under 100,000 degrees of freedom (this threshold can be changed by the analyst using the DECOMPAUTOSIZE setting in the .ini file). For models above this size, NEiNastran V9 will still...
