Hi,
I would like to run a calculation with element rupture. This will be Advanced Nonlinear static.
The easiest example I could imagine is a flat bar with reduced section in the middle. Looks like this below:

This is a plate model...
Hi,
I need your help to design compression only support.
I need to constrain one surface like below:
T X - free
T Y - free
T -Z - fixed (no penetration is allowed)
T +Z - free (separation is allowed)
R X - fixed
R Y - fixed
R Z - free
I have only one body (no contacts).
Please help...
Hi,
I have large solid model with 7 multiple surface contact points - friction 0,1. Model was calculated with static structural analysis. LGDISP are on.
Now I would like to double check the results with nonliniar static. I can choose between 106 and advanced 601. What I need to change in my...
Hi guys,
Please help. I want all elements with stress higher than 150MPa to be displayed in red.
I go to View Options > PostProcessing > Contur/Criteria Levels.
In Level Mode I go to User Defined.
In Contour Palette I go to User Palette.
#of Levels I like to keep 16.
I want to keep original...

Hi all,
I therad mentioned above the connection 1D beam to 2D plate is done by RBE2 element.
But if end of my beam element is touching my plate element can I force Femap to have coincident node there and no RBE2 connection? Just like when I have 2 beam elements at 90 degrees...
Hi guys,
Once somebody asked me a question: what is the error of your calculation?
How should I answer?
-I know error depends on elements: beam elements are most precise, shell elements are medium and solid elements are giving biggest error in calculation.
-For sure error depends on mesh...
Hi there,
1. I'm using this function as in video here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2Hc7onzk_k&index=3&list=PL1m1vu8_quoB_Eo2aGL2dpYXs2AQG9OXV) to automatically get surface thickness from my solid model.
But of course Femap is not always perfect. Can I correct the result somehow? I can't...
Hi guys,
I'm more Ansys man. But checking Femap for my new project. I did a simple model 2x L-Profile out of surfaces and 2x boxes (solid). L-profile connected by 2 edges to box, box to box, box to second L-profile, all glued, one side fixed, force on second side. Model created in Femap...
