Hi everyone.
We're building an eight node cluster machine at our company for running large simulations. Currently we use Abaqus and Altair HyperWorks for FEA / CFD. I have contacted our license provider at Altair regarding the use of RADIOSS and Optistruct solvers. Their response is that while...
Hi!
I need some material data to run finite element analysis on a wheel hub. Unfortunately 20MnCrB5 is not common. A lot of google results for 20MnCr5 though, but I'm not sure how close they'd be to 20MnCrB5. The wheel hub has tight tolerances so I'd like to get as accurate results as possible...
Hi everyone.
I am modeling (or trying to) a truck tire inflated at 300 kPa, carrying a load of 1,000 kg (per wheel), on a rigid plane. The request came from design engineers who want to understand the relationship between contact patch vs vehicle weight vs inflation pressure. I figured I should...
Hello FEA world.
Just curious, to see the difference between one FEA group to another. When you perform housekeeping of FEA files, which files do you delete and which ones you keep as record (in case you need to revisit the simulation or reuse some tricks)?
Personally I only save .cae and...
Hi everyone.
I have an explicit job that is running right now on my machine which I estimate will finish running in about 33 hours. I would like to submit a command to my machine to run a variant of the same explicit job a couple of hours after that. But, weekend is approaching...
In my...
G'day everyone!
I have a basic rookie question regarding extracting natural frequencies and mode shapes. So I have 3 different designs of an automotive part for which I have run frequency analysis. The results are in, but how do I use them in the correct way? I have always been told that you...
Good day everyone.
First of all I'd like to note that the "what is the best FEA program" question has been discussed to death in eng-tips and yes I have read the older threads :)
But it would be great if those who answer my survey can include their experience working with different commercial...
Hi everyone.
First of all... DISCLAIMER: I haven't used V5 for years so I will need explicit instructions if you can provide me some, thanks :)
My aim is very basic, I just need to check the COG of a hood assembly of a 4x4. It seems pretty simple. Just apply the right materials and mech...
