Hello !
I have one question. I'm studying buckling in a composite skin which has a large hole for a system.
I have modeled the skin and a metal piece attached to the skin via fasteners (represented by RBE2).
The metal piece has a grille on it, which I also modeled with 1D elements hoping that it will increase the Buckling Factor, nonetheless its addition reduces the buckling factor (from 1.0418 to 98913) and I can't understand why does this happen.
I leave attached screenshots of the model in CATIA (only the metal piece) and the DFEM (shaded & wireframe).
CATIA : DFEM :
Any ideas/thoughts ?
Thanks in advance !
Sincerely,
EC
