Perhaps just too quick since links mostly refers to keenserts (for which we have all the informations needed), while the question was for metric potted inserts. In any case thanks for the answer.

Hi and happy new year, for a structural test campaign on a "thick" ( > 12 mm ) CFRP panel we are going to compare mechanical behaviour ( pull / push / shear / bending) on different types of inserts (keensert, kobserts and classic potted insert). "Classic" potted inserts are the ones normally...

Hi all, I'd like to write an API script in order to automate the generation of renderings on a part/assembly of solidworks. The flow should be someting like this: - open file - generate all the view necessary - run the script The script should take all the views previously generated in the...

See Chapter 16 of NASTRAN Quick Reference Guide. The one for the PBARL property.

You have to create groups with the portions of the model (nodes, elements etc) needed, and in the "Analysis Set Manager", in the tab "NASTRAN Bulk Data Options" under "Portion of Model to Write" chose the group consequently.

Yes that's it. Thanks a lot jgKRI. I fear that it was the only possible way... thanks again

Hi all, which is the right way to create a filet (or a chamfer) on the blue highlighted edge only (with no propagation on the near edges)? The normal fillet command has the "tangent propagation" function on, but if I remove it the program return me an error. I attach the images. Thanks in...

Insert the parameter PARAM,BAILOUT,-1

In the "Selector Mode" change from "Normal" to "Front", and then you should be able to select, with a rectangle, the external faces only

1) You have to plot the result and check the results from the shape of the deformation 2) I suppose your beam, in the model, is made by 20 elements. Right? The reason is due to the shape of beam, and the model used by the solutor (Tymoshenko) that is different from what the theory use...

Thanks mrfemap for the reply

Hi all, is there a way, using FEMAP with NX NAstran solver, to write in the .dat file the SOL tag in number rather than in characters? SOL 103 instead of SOL SEMODES etc. Thanks crostolo

Hi cmcbain, create a group with all the elements and a group without the beam elements and in the NASTRAN Bulk Data Options (when you set up the analysis) pick the right group in the menu "Portion of Model to Write"

Hi acga, nodes of solid elements have "only" 3 d.o.f. rather nodes of shell elements have 5. You should connect the RBE2 with at least 2 solid elements, in order to transfer the bending moments of the plate elements.
