I tried using
selection0.StepStatusAsString("Satisfied")
but it doesn't work
I also tried:
selection0.Enable(False)
but it keeps giving me error
Many thanks
Hi all,
How can I filter for "Product Definition" using triplemask and UFconstants in a journal file? There's no way I can select the Surface finish object.
Many thanks
Hi I´m having some problems with this task:
I´m in the drafting environment, what I wanna do is select everything that is on my screen (dwg sheet) and move it to a certain layer (200), then I want to select all these object on layer 200 and copy/paste them onto another sheet (i.e. sheet 3). how...
Hi all, I created a model with tet10 element, this model has 2 bodies in contact through 2 surfaces. I created a mesh mating condition Free-coincident between the two bodies so that the mesh were coincident. When I try to create the cgap elements between the two surfaces with coincident mesh...
Hi, first of all i want to excuse me for my bad english.
I need to make some analyses in patran and nastran with contact and friction. To do so i wanted to start with a dynamic analysis in order to understand better the parameters and their meaning. This analysis consists in making a cylinder...
Does anyone know if the bdf for a sol 600/700 is compatible with the sol 601/701 of nx nastran?
Unfortunately I don't have Femap but only Patran and I wanted to know if the bdf of a sol 600 or 700 analyses could run into nx nastran by changing the number of the solution in 601 or 701. I...
Hi I'm trying to do a very simple thermoelastic analysis,
there are two concentric rings of different material to whom I impose a costant nodal temperature. I put the two rings in contact but it doesn't seem to work perfectly. It looks like the contact is respected only on one half of the two...
Hi I'm trying to restart a job because it has failed and I don't want it to run from the start because it's pretty long.
the original bdf file was this one:
SOL 106
CEND
SEALL = ALL
SUPER = ALL
TITLE = Axial_Link_Bracket_Compression
ECHO = NONE
MPC = 200
SPC = 51...
Hi I've made a Sol 600 analysis just to check if I could run it with no problem. It's a cantilever beam with linear material and BC but geometric nonlinearity. The problem comes when I import the results in Patran. The displacements values are exactly the same between the XDB file created by...
Hi i need to mesh a surface but part of this surface is already meshed beacause it's the mesh of another surface and i want them to be congruent. Is there any way to tell patran to create a shell mesh on the new surface around the existing shell mesh?
Thanks a lot
Hi i'm trying to run a 101 contact analysis between two solids meshed with TET10. When Patran writes the bdf file it write this card:
BCPARA 0 NBODIES 2 MAXENT 21470 MAXNOD 42940
and NASTRAN gives me this error:
*** USER FATAL MESSAGE 5 (CNX_BOUDRY)
Quadratic elements in...
Hi, is MSC.Patran able to set-up surface to surface contact without using cgap?. I'm using Patran 2008r2 and i can see in the Load/BCs menu the voice create-->contact but i can't see how to use it. I have to simulate the contact between 2 components meshed with hexa elements
Thanks in advance
hi do you know if it's possible to run a non-linear modal analysis? I have a structure with gap elements and i want to find the first ten eigenvectors. I think that if i used a 103 nastran would convert the gaps in springs
hi, i need to calculate the area that has a certain color or higher in a fringe plot. for example the area of my model whose stress is beyond the yield tensile stress. is there an utility in patran which can do that?, and in another post processing program? or any other method you can think of...
Hi i'd like to know if NASTRAN is able to use all the CPUs when solving a Sol 106, and in case it can, does NASTRAN do the parallel computing automatically or do i have to write something in the the .bdf file? I couldn't find any clear information on the internet and msc's guide on nastan...
