Hi All- I am looking for basic instructions on how to perform PSD analysis in Patran/Nastran. Does anyone have a document they could share? Thanks, Erik

A little more clarification... The Ports were not the problem. Ansys is 1055 and Patran is 1700. The problem only occurs on machines that have ever had Ansys installed on them. Patran tries to start, says that it has acquired a license, then crashes. If I completely uninstall both Ansys and...

Patran and Ansys go to different servers to get licenses, could the port still be a problem?

I have been using the Patran/Nastran suite. I just installed Ansys on my box and now Partan will not run. I know you're all saying "So??", but I do need to work in both Applications for a while. Patran tries to start up. It says that it acquires a license and then I get the friendly Windows...

I am looking for a unique piece of hardware. It needs to provide controlled resistance to linear motion in one direction and linear motion in the other direction. It needs to be able to resist roughly 500lbs and move 50lbs. It needs to be able to move/resist at about 1 ft/sec. I need to be...

I am evaluating DesignSpace for my company. We use Pro/E and analyze large structures of thin plates. We use a lot of shells with our other FEA software to be able to analyze these large models. I am looking for the best way to create and run a mixed shell/solid assembly in Pro/E and...

OK, is there a way to strip the units off the MathCAD values before entering them in the matrix? I still havn't been able to find the menu that allows me to convert the matrix to table format. I can only find the properties menu that allows me to outline or highlight it. Is there some trick...

I want some of the cells to display MathCAD values, others text, and others left blank. Can I do that in a Matrix? I was not able to get a menu to show by double-clicking on the matrix, any ideas?

Another question on this one... This one should be pretty basic. I just want to display my MathCAD results in table format. It looks like the Excel component may be the only, or at least the best, way to do this. Can someone show me how to do this? I'm quite new to MathCAD so I will need...

This might not be the best way, but this is what I do... Open the picture in my graphics program (Paint Shop Pro), make a window on the region I want to have in MathCAD. Copy (ctrl-c) and then paste (ctrl-v) in MathCAD. My filesizes are generally in the 4MB range as well. I think that is...

I am using MathCAD 2000 Professional on Windows XP. The problem that I am having is that it behaves badly when I am using the copy/paste function, especially copy. Sometimes it works fine; sometimes it reports an error, doesn't copy, but keeps running; sometimes it locks up and I have to use...

It is important for me to show my work along the way. I did find one solution that suits my needs fairly well though: Create a new MathCAD file. At the start of the file insert a reference linking to the primary file, (Insert > Reference). Make the new file into a summary page showing the...

OK, that helps but... every value that I want to define as a global variable won't do that unless all of the variables that drive it are also defined as global variables. At least that how it seems. If this is true, I would have to have nearly every variable in my 12 page analysis defied as a...

I just scanned down through the previous threads and saw that someone had the same question a few weeks ago. I can't get the solution to work for me though... "Can you just define that variable as a global variable at the end where it turns up, and then at the top of the worksheet just...

I would like to have a summary section at the beginning of my analysis document that sumarizes the answers. Since MathCAD works in spacial order, I'm not sure if this is possible. If anyone knows how to do this I would really appreciate the help. thanks, Erik
