    Rutman Fastener Modelling in Patran

    I work at Hexagon. I do FEA but I don't have much experience with Patran. I asked someone knowledgeable who is pretty sure that Fastener Maker should work for this task; they suggest that the issue may be tolerances. They also mentioned that you need not just the corner nodes—but your drawing...

    Modelling a cable system

    Hi! This is a cool project! 1. Are you using Adams Machinery to model the cable? Are you using the Simplified model? 2. I'm not sure what you mean. In general, there are a few ways to set angles for links in a linkage in Adams. How are you doing it? 3. I think I see a slider on the green part...

    ADAMS Cosimulation crash

    This is a good question. Because what you’re doing is pretty advanced, I suggest you ask for help at our official support forum: https://simcompanion.hexagon.com/

    Bimetallic model issue

    Yeah, the issue is that your simple support has 3 nodes. If you had this setup in real life, you'd get compression on the left end of that support but the right end would bend up and not be in contact. Look at what kind of contact you're modeling—it seems that separation is not occurring.

    NASTRAN Float Formatting

    Nastran-95 looks like Fortran 77 to me. The codebase for Nastran actually goes back to the 60's, predating quite a lot of changes to Fortran. Backward compatibility is very prized so Nastran is probably representing numbers in its own way. Nastran number formats are quirky, e.g., 7 could be...

    MSC Adams: Weird measurement axis fonts

    What you're describing is unusual. 2020 is pretty old. Are you able to upgrade? We have free student editions here: https://studentedition.mscsoftware.com/ including for Adams View. If you needed Adams Car and were on a competition team, you could get a free license for that through another...

    MSC. Software: ADAMS CAR

    It looks like you're set to have the part deactivated. You can reactivate it by checking the checkboxes in the dialog shown in the screenshot. Does that answer your question? Are you working on a particular tutorial?

    MSC Adams: Weird measurement axis fonts

    Also, we have a forum here: https://gateway.mscsoftware.com/Login.aspx?refer=https://gateway.mscsoftware.com/Users/SfdcSSO.aspx?startUrl=%2Fcustomers%2Fs%2F&type=com If you report your issue there, it is more likely to get in front of people who could confirm if this is a bug.

    MSC Adams: Weird measurement axis fonts

    Hi! I work at Hexagon and focus on helping students and teachers. Which version of Adams are you using? Is it the latest student edition or is it a commercial release like 2023.4? What are your language settings? Please give me more information on how to reproduce your problem; if you can...

    MSC Dytran & Stress Question

    To me, this looks like a typo in the manual—everything makes sense if you change "first" to "second". If you search the manual for invariant, it seems that they are using the usual definitions (with the first invariant being the trace), e.g...
