    Nodal Forces

    Hi All: I asked for forces and moments at a node from large nastran model. I do not have enough experince with FEA but I think nodal forces in nastran are based on global co-ordinate system,if this is true then I can decide whether the positive force is creating compression or tension based on...

    Sign Convention

    Hi All: I am trying to understand the moment sign convention in the attached picture.In XY plane moment about Z axis is creating compression in upper flange but in the XZ plane moment about Y axis is creating tension in the upper flange. Is it right or am I understanding the right hand rule...

    Fuselage Stringers

    Hi All, I do not have much experience with FEA.But I am trying to output stringer (axial) loads from Boeings in-house FEADMS tool. I observed actual drawing area for Stringer in the crown has lesser area than the FEADMS model area for one of the stringer. With this load and actual drawing area...

    Element Forces

    Hi All, How to output the element forces(CBAR)in F06 file. I requested for element forces in "output request" in PATRAN, but F06 file didn't output element forces.I can see element stresses, forces at SPC but NOT element forces for all the elements. Please some body spread some light on how to...

    Element sign convention

    Hi all, I am new to FEA field.I prefer doing classical hand solution. I extracted force and moment from Cbar/Cbeam element from post processor. But I do not know whether moment I got is creating tension or compression on the top fiber of the beam. plsease help me with this. Thank you all
