Hello, I am meshing a CAD model with CTETRA 10 elements with Midnode method Linear to avoid Failed elements. Afterwards I use 2D Mesh in certain areas for refinement with Midnode method Mixed. Then I still have Failed elements especially regarding Edge Point Included Angle. I would like to ask...

My model is meshed using 3D solid elements Hex8 (Option: Laminate).

Hello, I have results of FE analysis of laminated structure done using Nastran SOL 400. Material is linear elastic with failure criterion Tsai-Wu. Could anyone advice how to determine margin of safety and reserve factors using Patran? Thanks for help.

Hello, I want to perform harmonic analysis of car interior. Could anybody advice me how to write frequency dependant absorption coefficients in Patran? Thanks for help.

Hello, could anyone advice me how to show stress in different layer for example in layer 3 instead of layer 1 of laminate modelled like shell? Thanks for help.

Hello, I have 2 questions: 1. I changed Preferences --> Mouse --> Transformation Options and I want to save it forever but I don't know how to do it, because when I quit Patran and run it again, mouse settings are default. I don't know how to load my custom mouse settings when Patran's...

Hello, I want to use Femap with Abaqus solver, but I don't know how to set enviroment variable. I've written for Variable Name ABAQUS_EXE and for Value C:\SIMULIA\Abaqus\6.14-3\code\bin\standard.exe but it doesn't work. Could you help me? Thanks. Michael

Hello, I've changed Preferences --> Mouse --> Transformation Options and I want to save it forever, but I don't know how to do it. Also I want to save minimized Ribbon. Can anybody advise me? Thanks for help.

Hello, I need help with bolt preload (bolt meshed by using 3D hexa elements) in Patran. Could anyone help me how to apply bolt preload in Patran? Thanks for help and have a nice day.

Hello, I like ANSYS mechanical APDL (Classic) and I'm looking for a book with advanced tutorials. Could you recommend me the book? Thanks for help.

Hello, How to save custom spectrum in Abaqus CAE or how to set it as default spectrum? Thanks for help.

Hello, I am trying to model a layered composite in Ansys Classic, for Ls-dyna explicit analysis. I can't find any layered solid elements under (LS-Dyna Explicit). How to solve this problem? Thanks for help.

Hello, I would like to perform DCB simulation of two composite structures using cohesive elements using ANSYS Mechanical APDL and LS-DYNA Explicit solver. How to set contact using cohesive elements in ANSYS? Thanks for help.

Hello, I have a problem with font color of coord system in Patran as shown in figure below. The font is white, so I can see it. How to change font color? Thanks for help.

Hello, hezhj2000, thanks for help. I set enviroment variable NASTRAN_VERSION as is shown below and now it is OK. Please ensure your P3_TRANS.INI or site_setup file correctly points to the solver executable

I ran SOL 700 using CPU with only two cores and dytran-lsdyna.exe used only 50 % of the CPU (I tried commands parallel=2, smp=2 and nproc=2). There must be some command or something which forces to use all cores but unfortunately I don't know it. In the picture is shown usage of the CPU during...

Hello, I want to use all cores of my CPU during running SOL 700. SMP command doesn't work. How? Thanks for help.

Thank you. Nastran solves it, there's no problem, but how to submit SOL 700 analysis from Patran?

Hello, I run Nastran SOL700 analysis - bottle.bdf. Link But I still get this warning: Error executing subprogram. Reason (errno) = 2. No such file or directory Please ensure your P3_TRANS.INI or site_setup file correctly points to the solver executable or that you have correctly set the...
