    Does Nastran have p/h element feature?

    Hi all, I have come across some article saying that hp element bring a lot of advantage in capturing stress concentration area. However I cannot find any tutorial or article teaching how to use these elements. Could anyone give me a clue please? Thank you Jason

    Strain measurement system

    Hi all, I am an CAE engineer and my company wants to purchase a strain measurement system for validation of the simulation result. We are planning to compare static load and natural frequency of a part with FEA result. Since I have no experience in strain measurement system, I am a bit confuse...

    How to obtain stress result by combining symmetry and anti symmetry result

    Hi all, I have read the user guide about how to use the combination of symmetry and anti symmetry result to simulate load on only half of a structure. Please read article from the link below http://simulatemore.mscsoftware.com/taking-advantage-of-symmetry-in-fea-msc-nastran/ However it only...

    How to model a battery box enclosed in a cage with concentrated mass

    Hi all, I am modelling battery box enclosed in a cage made with steel bars and steel plates. The battery is sandwiched between two steel plates and the plates are connected with steel bars with pre-tension. I want to solve the problem under static acceleration in 3 directions. I have solved the...

    Optimize in Assembly FEM

    I am analyzing a steel space frame structure in NX Nastran. I have built the structure as assembly FEM. However I have found out that the optimization modules do not support AFem. Is there an alternative way to optimize the space frame structure? Thank you

    How to model weld T-joint in Nastran

    Hi, I am using the NX Nastran to model a spot weld T-joint between two steel sheets. I was trying to use the CWELD function before finding out that the it does not work with free edge. The Glue connection gives a continuous connection between the sheets, so it may underestimate the strength of...

    NX Nastran or LS-DYNA for crashworthiness simulation

    Dear all, I am using NX Nastran Basic for linear static simulation on vehicle. My company is now looking for a software to do crashworthiness simulation. We now have two options, NX Nastran Non-linear Explicit solver SOL701 and LS-DYNA. LS-DYNA is about 20% more expensive than NX. I have tried...

    Defining and using Superelement

    I am working in an automotive company and I am new to NX. I find that the superelement method would be very useful simplified large assembly. However I find it very hard to understand the NX help documetation and I still do not understand the procedure of defining superelement and how to connect...
