Ok guys, thanks for all the replies and apologies for not responding earlier.
Well I took your sugegstions, and yes the solutions do get closer. But as one question is answered, two others come up. Can we safely say that if the nodal solutions are roughly equal to the element solutions, the...
Hey all,
This question might have been asked before but a search didnt bring it up.
Cutting to the chase...
I am doing a detailed analysis on a 18" pipe that we're using as a strut. Prelminary analysis gave me the forces and moments applied on the top of the beam. Now, I'm working on a detailed...

This may seem straightforward, but I am trying to apply a normal pressure on a plate. When I plot the symbols, it shows pressures applied on the edges of the plate (in plane). I've meshed the area with shell63...
Hi all,
I'm a basic user of FEA....using I-Deas ofr my stuff. I know element selection plays a big part in analyses. So are there any sources, online or in print, I can refer to for element selection? I've noticed massive differences in values when using shell or solid elements for the same...
Hi toothroot,
thanks for replying....err the first suggestion u made , well that couldnt be done, bcos everytime i open the file i had to make a new solution set and then run the solve, so each time i did that i got the same problem. hmm suggestion 2 looked good, i got almost halfway solving...
Hi guys,
I'm using I-Deas for my FEA project at uni....have this problem when i get into model solution and try to solve the meshed model. The s/w bombs out giving me this message "I-DEAS Programming Warning APLUS Internal programming error 15101 in routine MSGQNL MESSAGE ID: 2990 ...
