Hi,
I'm shell coating solid finite element geometry (parabolic tetrahedron elements)to do some correlation work with strain gage test data. Is there a good rule of thumb for what thickness the thin-shell element should be when you're trying to simulate a strain gage? What experiences have you...
I got a model from another department and they used Hypermesh to model their system. They also used metric units. When I bring this into I-DEAS with English units everything is out of scale. Is there anything I can do on the I-DEAS end to convert this to English? Thanks.
Hello,
I am trying to model the rider and passanger on a full-vehicle motorcycle FE model. I am representing them as lumped masses at their appropriate c.g.'s and want to hook them up to the vehicle so that during acceleration loading (braking), their masses will load the vehicle appropriatly...
