Stress vs Strain relation in Patran
Hi, I have been trying to find the trivial relation between stress and strain when post processing the results in Patran. I use the fringe plot with labels at the gauss points, without averaging and with shape function extrapolation. This gives me labeled values at the four gauss points of...- flambter

Modeling fasteners with CBUSH or CFAST
Hi, I am modeling a simple two plates (offseted so no coincident nodes) with Nastran/Patran, attached with two rows of two fasteners with applied load axially in order to mainly transfer shear load (by default some tension since the plates are offseted.) Theory and hand calculation shows that... -
Stress vs Cauchy Stress MSC SOL600 or Marc
Hi, I am currently performing an analysis using MSC SOL600 on shell elements. The results I am getting are stress and Cauchy stress. From what I understand, Cauchy stress theorem states that knowing the stress vectors on three mutually perpendicular planes, the stress vector on any other plane...- flambter

Using Output(plot) Set Command
Hi, I am trying to print only CBUSH element forces when calling FORCE(SORT1,REAL,BILIN)=200 in the subcase. 200 should refer to a previously appearing SET command. I am trying to find how to define that SET command. In the quick reference guide, they state that SET is a Set Definition under...
