    composite sandwich panel with 2d faces and 3d core

    Have you tried to build the model an alternate way. Create a surface mesh on one side of the panel then copy it to the other. Extrude the mesh from one face to the other to create the core solid mesh.

    composite sandwich panel with 2d faces and 3d core

    From the sounds of it you need to merge coincident nodes in your model. >> Tools >> Check >> Coincident Nodes

    Using older PDM Client addin with SW2014

    I there any way to use an older PDM Client Addin (ie 2011) with a 2014 installation. We keep an archival vault (2011 version) that we would like to have access to from the 2014 installation. Regards

    Legacy Force Balance Interface Load Output Format

    I am trying to export a force balance for a new model that I have run. Problem is that I have a spreadsheet (used to format the information) that used the output from a previous version of FEMAP. Is there anyway to get FEMAP to output the legacy version of the force balance interface loads for...

    Is there a command to see which groups an entity is in?

    Thank you APav, I think this will be just what he is after. Regards Dracos

    Is there a command to see which groups an entity is in?

    A Coworker just asked me if there was a command to determine which groups an entity was a part of. A quick search of the help did not turn up anything relevant that I could see so here I am to ask all of you. Regards Dracos

    Is it possible to recover a crashed model

    Thanks, This worked like a charm.

    Is it possible to recover a crashed model

    I was able to salvage my model by using the old version and importing my analysis models back into it. Still curious if it is possible to recover from the temp folder database.

    Is it possible to recover a crashed model

    Long story short is that I have a very large model that crashed due to a windows error. I have the temp folder for the model that looks like it has the data in it and I have an older version of the model. _DBData is there just wondering if there is any way to recover it?

    Transfering results from Femap to Patran

    This is what we will end up doing. Thanks Blas Would be nice if there were a direct translator. Unlikely since MSC and UGS are on the outs.

    Transfering results from Femap to Patran

    The problem with doing it that way is that our results file is 17 GB for the entire model. I just want to send them the section of the model that they are responsible for, with the results for only that part. They really need to be connected in the model as our assembly plays a major role on the...

    Transfering results from Femap to Patran

    Thanks for the reply, Is there any way to have the results transferred, this is what they need to review, I will only be sending back the section of the mesh that they provided as the rest is just to large to handle. The .Pat file only transfers the mesh, loads and constraints. Unfortunately...

    Transfering results from Femap to Patran

    Hi All, Currently working on a large model with a section modeled and meshed by another company. I have used this section of the model to update our mesh and run the analysis. i would like to send the mesh of their model back to them so that they may review it. Problem is that we are using...

    Catia airfoil design

    typically it is easier to generate a dxf or cad airfoil from a program like profili and import this into catia drafting. Then it is just a matter of cuting and pasting the points into a plane in part design. Typically you will have to use a spline to connect the points. one spline takes up alot...
