The stresses distribution when using EndA Max comb stress EndA Min comb stress EndB Max comb stress EndB Min comb stress is the same so this won't change anything.

Hi, I have found myself in a quite confusing situation. My beam model does not behave as I expected. I included 3 photos to show the model. Basicly the only difference between them is the diameter of lateral support (the shortest section in the model, the changes in diameter are visible...

Hi guys, Does someone has experience in modelling a material defect as shown on the photo. My boss asked me if it's possible to model such a defect and check its impact. Do you konow if there is a possibility to model such a thing in femap and how to do it (we have basic license) or if there is...

Hi Guys, Can you tell me how to simulate a behaviour of a rope in Femap? Rope is in red on the attached picture. Which elements shall I use to mesh it? Thankshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=ee118e60-c6f8-4962-a121-d767c87a28fe&file=WP_20141207_002.jpg

Thank you very much I imported my cross section than I used a boundary surface option and it works fine.

Hi Guys, Can you give me some guidance of how to import my own cross section to build a beam model. Thankshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fcfeefeb-2b5d-49d2-af5e-9ff53f39761a&file=corss_section.png

Thank you for your answer! indeed just below the stress spike in solid analysis the stresses are very similar to those from the beam analysis. Is there any option to avoid the stress spike occurence in solid element analysis? I can't find "show shape" visualisation option can you tell how I...

"one "obvious" thing is that your "beam" model looks like a bunch of surface plates, whereas the othe rmodels are solid shafts". The obvious thing for you is a 'thickness,corss section' option in Femap which is switch on only for visualization purporse, shaft is made of linear beam elements...

So one more time, The problem is, I have done some simple calculation as shown on the pictures. I used different mesh sizes and types, so I have different results. Using solid elements the results are the same in terms of displacement, there is small difference in terms of stresses. However...

Hi Guys, Can someone help me to solve this trivial problem :) http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=494813fc-9f5f-41b6-92fc-3f751db34214&file=Hex_coarse.png
