    Symmetric boundary conditions

    Hello everyone, I have started a new project in patran consisting in studying the behaviour of a plate drilled in the middle, but this work is led on a quater of the plate in order to reduce the time of calculation and so on. The plate is constraint in one direction on its left side and loaded...

    homogeneous stress for a tensile test

    Ok, i give you the dimensions of the solid i m stuying (rectangular section, width=20 mm, height=40 mm and length=100 mm). I'm a beginner in Patran so considering the profile of the part I have chosen to work with an hexahedral mesh (solid mesh i suppose). What is a shell mesh ?, what is the...

    homogeneous stress for a tensile test

    Ok, interesting, then it means that i need anyway to fix completely one side, but i don't get the point when you say that i can use the symmetry of my model. what are you refering to ? thanks for your answer

    homogeneous stress for a tensile test

    Hello everyone, In these last days I try to study the stress in a simple tensile test, the main goal of the exercise is to display at the end an homogeneous stress along the part. To do so, I have begun to completly constraint one side of the part (Tx=Ty=Tz=0) but the results don't suit me as...
