Hi Everyone, i have a model with rod element, one end connected to the structure and the other end of the rod is fixe. when the solution is run, i get the rod Force and the resultant at the constraint same. but i dont understand why the resultant vector on the fixed end do not align along the...
hello everyone, i have all the composite allowables and properties except the Poissions ratio. how would you estimate this and input in your femap property . For a Plainweave epoxy and a honey comb core .
Thnks in advance
Hi Everyone, i want to perform element quality check and it is very specific quality criteria as given in table 6-2 below. But this table is for LS Dyna, but its been a bit tricky to understand. few questions i have are:
1) the term "tolerance" in the element quality tool on FEMAP. is it < X...
hey everyone , i have a surface that i want to correct. So the only way is to move the point to some location in space which corrects the surface. But unfortunately when i try this option Modify>move to > point to location , i am unable to move the point. Instead i get this message on the...
Hi Everyone, How do you assign a CSYS for laminate shell elements if its a composite structure with a ramp and curvatures in the geometry. Because THis is a 2D FEM model, everytime i change the elemental CSYS the results are affected, if i assign the CSYS along the ribbon direction then how do...
hey Everyone ,
can anyone help me understand to which CSYS are the RBE DOF linked to , it is to the Global CSYS by default ? . Can i control these DOF with a specific CSYS of my choice ? if yes how do you do that on FEMAP interface ?
Thank you all in advance
HI Everyone ,
i was modelling the glue connection for a windshield.the thing is i want to run a non linear glue contact analysis. since i dont have a license for that i planned to connect the matching glue contact mesh region with RBE2 elements. what do you think about this approach and how...
hey everyone, i have a structure that is having a complex curvature, the curvature has some varying pressure distribution and i want to find the center of pressure for this pressure distribution. how do i do that on FEMAP. FEMAP gives me loads and moment along a requested CSYS but it doesnt give...
hi all, i generated a a BDF file from FEMAP for a client . The client uses MSC NASTRAN . The model has MAT 11 property on FEMAP , unfortunately its not compatible for MSC NASTRAN. i have no choice but to make the BDF from FEMAP compatible with the MSC NASTRAN solver.can someone guide me on what...
Hi all , i have a problem where my structure is a combination of glass material and aluminium. The glass is glued to the aluminum frame, also fastened to the frame . so basically the glass is fastened and glued to the aluminum frame.i am trying to simulate this on FEMAP. But when i run a glue...
Hi All, is there an API that generates a report with images from current view for all the outputs files in the result. Lets say i already have a contour plot being displayed , is there an API that copy paste the contour for different results into a single file ? thanks in advance
Hi Everyone , question for FEMAP users. Has anyone experienced a sudden shutdown in the FEMAP window while using datasurfaces to apply load on your elements ? . If so how did you overcome this and how did u still apply the loads on the elements using data surfaces ?
Thank you in advance
can anyone tell me where i can find more information on how Follower force option works for FEMAP? ALso the method for defining it ?
if possible can someone tell me how i can ensure that my force on the beam show below is following the curvature of the circle on FEMAP
Thanks in advance
Hi All , i have two loads for one Boundary condition, for a same BC i have an initial loadcase and after my component is deformed with the initial case, a second load case follows. What is the best way to perform this analysis? i explored some
1)defining two subcases
2)running the first case...
Hi All
i am looking for a way to verify my total load on my model. I also want to know how i can check the total load (lbs or N) acting on my model due to a non-uniform pressure acting on my model. Thanks in advance.
Hi All , i am trying to analyse a model for two different loadcases with same constraint conditions. The first loadcase will cause a deflection and with the deflection as initial point i want to apply a point load and track the various loads.
To better explain, imagine a rectangular plate...
hi all i am trying to do steady-state heat transfer on a composite laminate and I am getting the following error message. i tried filling all the material properties and still i am getting this message.
Can someone help ? thanks in advance...
