Hi all,
is there a way (maybe a hidden command) to export universal files from I-DEAS 9 into the universal format of an earlier version (such as I-DEAS 8 universal format)?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Hi experts,
For a fatigue analysis of a part, I need to compute principal stresses from nodal stress tensors. The fatigue analysis will we done by a self-written programme, input comes from FE-result files. The problem is that I have to take a general 3D stress state into account. Thus, the...
Hi all,
Is it possible to perform a frequency response analysis of a FE-model in I-DEAS? If so what steps need to be performed?
Thanks in advance,

Hi all,
IDEAS 9 offers the possibility to edit the programme layout according to one's preferences and needs. I found this quite helpful and saved my favourite layout as xml-file. However, as soon as I re-start IDEAS, the changes are gone and I have to reload my own layout file. To overcome...
Hi all,
I have to perform a coupled thermal and structural analysis (thermal deformation of a part). The simulation has to be transient.
The problem is that after each time step, the model has to be changed, these changes will include:
* boundary conditions (moving heat sources)
* the mesh...
Hi everybody,
I have performed a transient thermal analysis of a part using the I-DEAS TMG module. After the simulation run, I managed to map the nodal temperature results onto another model (same part, but different FE-mesh). I would like to use the mapped temperature field as an input for a...
Hi all,
I have to conduct a coupled structural and heat transfer analysis. The aim is to calculate displacements in a part subjected to heat sources varying with time. So far, I've never done heat transfer analysises, so I'm looking for some expert input before I calculate rubbish.
My first...
Hi all,
I need some help on the following problem:
For a part with free form design, I would like to create parametric splines. This is, the splines are connected to points (e.g. ends of lines) that are constrained by dimensions. If I change those dimensions, the positions of the points are...
Hi all,
I am using I-DEAS 8 for the optimization of parts, with the aim of the optimization being mostly reduction of maximum stresses or displacements. The FE models I use for these calculations are geometry based, i.e. after every change of the part's design the FE model is automatically...
Hi everybody,
I am a student of Mecanical Engineering. Currently, I'm working on my final year thesis. For the structural analysis of a part, I'm deploying the Optimzation module of I-DEAS 8. As I have to write a report about my work, I'd like to know, what the Optimzation module of I-DEAS...
