Thanh you for your input.
I have tried another simple analysis of sheet solid element (2D) and made it straight good. I've never done anything with 1D element. Please help me with another question as I am evaluating this Femap under a certain timeframe.
There was a windows below the main...
After spending a couple hours practicing over the weekends, I finally made my first analysis on Femap and found out the below rues:
1. Regardsless of what model it is imported into, all INPUT unit MUST be consistent.
2. For SI, input unit must be "N" and output will be "Pa" for stress and "m"...
Thank you for your response.
Yes! I applied 10,000N to the surface of one end. Another end is constrained as fixed.
Also, I copied material both in SI and English from Solidwork to Femap library. The result was the same to both SI and English unit.
I believed that something must be wrong that...
Thank you for your response.
Here is my hand calculation in tension analysis:
Stress = Force/Cross section = (10,000N)/(0.254)*(0.254)
= 15.5E+6 Pa
Strain = Stress/Modulus = (15.5E+6)/(205E+9) = 0.0756E-3
Displacement = Strain*length = (0.0756E-3)*(0.254)
= 1.92E-5 m =...
Hi! I am a newbie in Femap. Please help me understand why there is different displacement betwwen Femap and Solidwork.
For example, I ran statis analysis on a beam that has cross section of 1.0in x 1.0in and length of 10.0in.
The material is AISI 4340 taken from Solidwork.
Yield strength: 470...
