Hello team Femap
I am working on a hydrofoil, I have the outputs from the hydrodynamic study that give me a distribution of load as N/mm along the span of the foil.
Therefore I am trying to apply this force/length along a curve on the surface of the foil.
First I created a function crudely...
Hello fellow Femap users
I am trying to model a sailboat rig using a mix of 1D elements
- bars for the shrouds, and they have rotational degrees of freedom released as in real life + offsets to simulate the real positions on the mast tube.
- beams for the mast and spreaders, no release...
hello
I am using Femap 10.3 and have modeled some surface connected with glued contact
the behavious seems to be correct as expected, but can someone please help me with the different glue outputs, what they mean, units, etc ?
-glue normal traction
-glue traction (total, T1, T2, T3)
-glue force...
hello all,
I am trying to calculate a foil which consists of a laminated carbon fibre skin on a foam core.
I have meshed the skin with 2D shell elements and the core with 3D solid elements
I have tediously made all the contact regions and connectors using a glued property
the static analysis...
hello all
I am trying to simulate a simple composite sandwich panel with 2D laminate elements for the top and bottom faces, and 3D elements (isotropic material) for the core
Geometry: 3D solid made in rhino, exported as .stp
Mesh: I first meshed the solid, then the top and bottom surfaces with...
Hello,
I am using Femap to check the local buckling behavior of a composite material tube of roughly elliptic shape under axial compression + bending moment.
I am using 2D shell elements with laminate properties
my layups are a mix of 2D orthotropic materials (the composite plies) and isotropic...
Hello
I am trying to model the bottom of a sailboat mast which consists of a carbon fibre mast tube sitting on a metal heelplug and it is subjected to a compression force.
my plan is to model the carbon fibre tube with 2D shell laminate elements and the metal heelplug with 3D solid elements
and...
