i have a skid made of a plate with a certain thickness and modeled with shell elements (no solid element used in the model). The question is do I need to apply the thickness of the washer to the thickness of plate at bolted connections to improve the bearing strength of the skid at bolt holes...
I do have a complex structure modeled using shell element (FEMAP with NX-NASTRAN) under a combination of loads in different directions. it is required to have the stresses be less than 80% of the buckling strength of the structure. The question is how to check the buckling strength of the...
Anyone familiar with FEMAP (using NX Nastran as the solver) knows how to use the software to calculate the weight of structure and use it as the input load. (The material and associated density were specified).
Please someone advise on how to create a printable report from input/output data in FEMAP using NX Nastran solver? this option is as easy as a click in ALGOR.
I do have a large assembly where initially i used solid element to mesh. Recently I end up using shell elements (model has over 100 parts/plates on it) but I get different error messages such as flexibility matrix singular or excessive deflection. Could someone please advise on how to check my...
