    Tension allowable NAS1204

    Hi, I'm using the NAS1204 bolt in a design and I encounter the following: The tensile stress allowable vs the tension force allowable on this spec significantly differs (for around a factor of 1.3) if we compared it by converting the stress allowable to equivalent tension allowable, as...

    Femap to openradioss

    Hi, Does anyone know if there is a way to use openradioss with Femap as a pre-post processor (Femap can translate to ? Or if there a way to circumvent this without buying another pre-post processor? Maybe a translator from Nastran to Openradioss if this exists... Thanks!

    Insert bending test

    Hi, I wanted to know if there is any bending test for sandwich CFRP/honeycomb structure insert. Basically I have an insert on the middle of a CFRP sandwich panel which is introducing quite a big bending moment to the panel itself due to the boundary conditions of the structure. I know that...

    Limit loads on rivets (fasteners)

    Hi all, Out of curiosity, in general when you evaluate a joint, in general you check ultimate strength of fasteners, plus limit/ultimate of the connected parts. Why limit load of the fastener itself is not checked? Do you have any reference explaining this? My thought is the following: Most of...

    Plate stress evaluation in the middle

    Hi, I'm doing a project about an aircraft skin modification, and my client has some guidelines about the FE model that I would like to discuss with you. Do you know why for a thin metallic structure as the skin, that are mostly modelled as shell elements (linear static) it is allowed to take...
