    FEMAP Geometry Edit Questions

    I have been posting in the FEA section by mistake. OK folks by now you have figured out that I a brand new to FEMAP. This software is making me feel like a total idiot. I have been thru all of the examples and I still can not get off of the ground. I am trying to build a very simple model, a...

    FEMAP Material Assignment in Assembly

    How do you assign different material properties in an assembly? Example, part 1 is 6061-T6 and part 2 is Alloy Steel. I tried using mesh/geometry/solid, pick the geometry and then Load the material and select the material. Nice and easy. I used the same approach to assign a different material...

    FEMAP Training Material

    I am new to FEMAP and have been looking for training material. I found the Examples, User's Guide and Commands and they are helpful. Has anyone found additional training material? I am still reading but so far I have not found how to handle mixed mesh modeling ie shell and solid elements. I...

    FEMAP Model of Circuit Card Assy Help

    Has anyone used FEMAP to analyze a circuit card assembly with its components? I am trying to determine the change in the natural frequency of a loaded PWB. PRO/E (boo hiss) will be used to generate the geometry. Once imported into FEMAP, I changed the PWB to a midsurface (ie shell elements)...

    FEMAP Model Regenerate

    I am new to FEMAP. I have what I hope is a simple FEMAP question. Say I have a square plate with all four edges constrained. I run a modal analysis and get an answer. For kicks, I deleted the contraints and used model/analysis/analyze to re-run the model. It runs but the results are the same...

    How to Change Model Type in Pro/Mechanica

    I am trying to access the Model Type Menu in Pro/Mechanica in an existing Structure Model. My goal is to access the FEM mode check box. Model Type lets you choose Structure or Thermal. If it were a new analysis, the Model Type come up automatically but once done the choice is not longer...

    How to add mass to Pro/Mechanica Model

    I am a Solidworks Simulation user that must migrate to Pro/Mechanica with the new job. I am trying to add a 1 lb mass to a model. That is, I want to "smear" 1 lb over the face of the part. Solidworks considers this a distributed mass. I can not find the equivalent in Mechanica. I tried Mass...
