Hello,
When I map the pressure results from a transient CFD analysis onto an FE mesh in Femap, the CFD package creates one neutral file (with the pressure results interpolated onto the FE mesh as a load case) for each time step, as opposed to creating one load case for each time step in the...
Hello!
I'm trying to determine the torque required to hold a grille vane in position when wind at a certain velocity is blowing against it.
I obtained the pressure profiles on the vane from a CFD analysis, mapped those results onto an FEA mesh, and solved the analysis. I constrained one end of...
Hello,
I'm trying to compute the force required to pull out a bulb from it's retainer in a bulb-holder assembly.
The retainer has 2 clips, and as the bulb is pushed into it, the clips move outwards as the base of the bulb slides in the space between the clips, and then back inwards to snap...
Hello!
I'm trying to solve a problem comprising of a simple fuselage with pre-stressed tension cables connecting the arms of the fuselage. I'd like to conduct a modal analysis on this setup. Let's assume that the fuselage comprises of an X-shaped structure with 4 tension cables connecting the...
I've been trying to solve the static analysis example of the assembly with the "contact" connection property provided in the femap help system. I have solved this before with success, but below is the list of obscure errors femap throws at me when I try to solve it this time.
NX Nastran started...
Hello,
I've been trying to conduct a Modal Analysis of a simple assembly (the example assembly provided in the help system) in FEMAP. I tried this on a lamp assembly of my own, and since it didn't work the way I'd anticipated, I thought I'd try it on a simpler assembly first.
I just deleted...
I'm trying to setup a simple static non-linear analysis of a polycarbonate (PC) lamp housing, which has a tab that's inserted into a slot, and the tab undergoes a deformation of about 6mm to snap into the slot. I want to investigate the non-linear behavior of the tab "hinge" area as it undergoes...
