    MSC Nastran Edge-To-Surface Glue

    Hello community, due to various circumstances I have to switch from Siemens NX Nastran to MSC Nastran. I used glueing operations for different purposes like edge-to-surface and surface-to-surface. Now, as I have to switch to MSC, I want to transfer these connections. I read a bit about the MSC...

    Find coincident faces (touching faces) between two (or multiple) bodies

    Hi all! Currently, I want to identify the face pairs which depict interfaces between 2 or more components in NX using NX Open. These faces are faces which are coincident/touching with a face of the other body. For this, I already did some research concerning existing methods, as there are for...

    Stiffness matrix of simple shell element (Simple reasoning?)

    Hi together, I struggle a lot with the task to set-up a stiffness matrix for a simple shell element. In Nastran, I have a 5x5mm flat shell with 1mm thickness (isotropic), represented by a CQUAD4 element. Can somebody explain an easy way to setup the corresponding stiffness matrix? I already...

    Stiffness variation approaches in Nastran

    Hi all! I have an issue and I don't know any reason for the problem :( I have a structure consisting of two structures connected on one edge. In the basis model which is a beam, it all seems to be OK. But now I want to go into more detail. My target body is an axisymmetric structure consisting...

    Shell vs Solid element

    Hi together!:) I have got a really fundamental problem and I would be very very grateful if someone could help me here :) I am trying to explain the reasons for the deviations of my simplified model. It's a simple rectuangular body similar to a beam with fixed constraints on one end and a load...
