Answer to thread1234-282031:
I found out a few days ago how to use submodeling technique with Femap and Nastran!
See "Commands" book, Chapter 7.2.3.1 "Data Surface Definition Method", Section "Output Map Data Surface".
I "mapped" the Total Translation vector from the coarse model output into...
Hey,
has anyone experience with the Element DMIG? Especially when there are beam elements add at one side and on the other side it is fixed?
Is this possible? If it is what should be entered in the DMIG for the degrees of freedom at the fixed side?
thanks
Hi all,
I'm currently testing the "skinning" of a 3D-finite elemente model to reduce the amount of data for a fatigue analysis (mentionned at the end of thread727-232206).
I modelled a complex (cast) part with Tet10 (10-nodes tetrahedal) volume elements, then meshed the surfaces with Tria6...
Hi all,
I have a model with a pre-stressed bolt and a contact connection between two solids. In addition there is a traction force on one solid.
I'd like to watch the contact status (if there is contact or not) and possibly the gap between the surfaces when there isn't any contact (similarly to...
Hi all,
I fear this question is not easier than the previous one, for which I didn't become any answers here...
This time I'd like to plot an output (for example max prin stress) along a line: I got high stress on a surface of a part, and I want to analyse the progress of the stress within the...
Hello all,
I'm looking for a method to connect the meshes of two solids through one or more coincident, opposed surfaces. These surfaces aren't simple or mappable surfaces and the solids are with tet elements modelled.
- Merging the solids wouldn't be handy since I need the contact surfaces...
