Hello. I am working on some FEA for plates with a radius in the middle. Please see the attachment. I am wondering if anyone has any opinion on whether or not my contraints are correct. I am fixing the model on one face, applying a load to the opposite face and constraining the bottom face in...
Hello. I have run some models in CATIA and I am getting stress values that are slightly lower than expected. I am getting about 3.8 ksi for the stress at an open hole and the value should be about 4.7 ksi based on the geometry and loading conditions. I confirmed this in ABAQUS and Peteron. I...
Hello. I am running some FEA analysis in Catia using the GSA module of a rivet installed through two plates. I believe I am getting the correct stress value from my model for the large plate. But the secondary plate and rivet show 0 stresses. I am wondering if anyone thinks this is correct...

Hello. I have a general question about how to account for fastener/pin loads applied to nut plates. Is it correct to assume that the large hole nut plate fasteners take all of the pin load and that the small hole nut plate rivets do not take any of the pin load? I realize it is conservative...
