Oh citizens of Abaqus, I come in peace from the kingdom of Ansys, seeking knowledge of your kingdom's great code.
Seriously, though, I have a question about Abaqus hourglass control. I'm not an Abaqus user, but I've been given a *.inp file and asked to interpret some things. From the research...
I have occasion to be involved in some work with a code used by another firm. They referred to the C3D8R element, but in the context of discussing their use of Solidworks Simulation. As I understand it, though, the C3D8R element is an ABAQUS reduced-integration element. Is SS just running an...
Can anyone help me find the DoD/NASA Advanced Composites Design Guide? It is a four volume set originally prepared by Rockwell International for one of the US Air Force; I believe the most recent set (or one of the more recent sets) was published in 1983. I've googled with no luck at all. The...
Can anyone recommend texts/papers/websites/etc that provide guidelines for finite element modeling of aerostructures, preferably with regard to NASTRAN? I've been doing FEA for a long time, but very little of my experience is with aerostructures/boxbeam modeling, analysis, and (especially)the...
Does anyone know how I can get the copy of this paper (Analytical Design Methods for Aircraft Structural Joints) by W. McCombs (Bruhn co-author), with his "corrections and added comments"? I can get the paper itself easily enough from DTIC, but I'd prefer the one with McCombs' aforementioned...
Does anyone know how I can get errata sheets for this textbook? I've uncovered some mistakes/typos myself, but I'm told there are many more. In fact, a reviewer on Amazon claims that he was given 81 pages of sheets when he took the class with the author.
(My first post of this - from yesterday - has disappeared. I don't know if it is something I did, or if the a moderator deleted it for a legitimate reason. If the latter, please let me know where I went wrong. Anyway, here's my post again.)
I'm a structural analyst who has to work with welds...
