Hello Femap / Nastran users,
When using contact in an Advanced Nonlinear analysis (SOL601), I often have trouble to get convergence. At the moment I have a model of a circular ring that is seated in a shallow groove. The ring is pre-tensioned, so want to stay in the groove. Now I'm trying to...
When performing a static analysis with use of inertia relief, one will get translations and stresses as results. Is it also possible to read out the acceleration that was used during the analysis?
I would like to view how a RBE3 element distributes a force. I've made a simple model with 1 central node, and at a radius 5 other nodes. All 5 nodes have Tx,Ty,Tz constaint. Now I apply a force on the central node. In the results I'm looking for the forces on the dependant nodes. I can only get...
cross-section of a revolved structure, modelled with 2D axisymmetric parabolic elements.
There is a gap between the two parts. Model is in global XZ plane, gap between parts is oriented in vertical direction so contact should be found in x direction.
I've tried slide lines and gap elements...
