Hi all many thanks for your help. I have solved the problem. It was my calculation error, as the axial modulus came out just fine and shear modulus was not working, so I went back and checked my calculation. I took the applied torque for calculating shear stresses.
I did try, it is giving me shear modulus of 4.49 GPa which I entered in material model as shear modulus of matrix. The predicted shear modulus was 26 GPa. I dont understand where I am goimg wrong.
Hey, thanks for your reply. I am using the applied torque obtained from the end under rotation and using that value of torque obtaining the shear stresses. My analytical predictions are obtained from FEMAP itself, which is obtained when feeding in the layup, and clicking on compute which used...
Hi All
I am new to FEMAP, after using Abaqus and Ansys for many years. I am modelling a fibre reinforced composite cylinder, and applied Torque to one end of the model and fixed the other end, mimicking the a torsion test. I have listed my steps here in image below.
The in- plane shear...
Hi, I am new to FEMAP, and have been using Ansys and Abaqus for years so hence this post. I am modelling a fibre reinforced tube with lay up [0, 45, -45] and the axial modulus is I am getting from the model is not matching with my analytically solved value (which is correct). I am mimicking the...
Hi all
I am modelling a composite tube under tensile deformation. My material coordinates, and element coordinates are right. I have applied a tensile load of 5kN at one end of the specimen while fixing the other end.
I am not sure how to extrapolate the reaction forces. I am using the...
Hi, I am using FEMAP 2020 version. I set the laminate property in the element stage, but the analysis produces errors such as
I even checked the material orientations but it still shows me the same errors. I dont have the bondshr values,
Could you advice ?
thanks in advance
Hi
Many thanks. I have been able to get the outputs comfortably now.
I meant by my last line that abaqus was easier to use in terms of exporting the results but NASTRAN with FEMAP is much more advanced.
I am trying to model the composite laminate, I can get the stiffness's fine but when I...

Many thanks, I am now getting my hands on it quite well than what I did before posting this thread. I just have 2 questions:
1. When I apply a load of 50 N, the output load only goes upto 2 N, maybe the model is finding is hard to converge.
2. In order to apply incremental loads...
Hi Both, Many thanks
@Blas Molero
I am looking to plot a load versus displacement curve from the group set I have created, and trying to get output from that (apparently struggling with it). The group comprises of node set of a region on the part subjected to tensile load. Should I just see...
Hi Everyone,
I have just started using FEMAP after many years of using Abaqus (which is way more friendlier). Just like in Abaqus one can create a set and request a specific output for that set once analysis is finished, Can we do that in FEMAP too ? I am modelling a basic composite shell...
I am modelling a simple transversely isoptropic rod under 3 point bend load. I have assigned the material orientation correctly and my assembly also looks fine. I am am trying to retrieve the Flexural load versus displacement plot through a reference point that I have coupled with loading pin...
