Oh, I forgot to mention you that I'm using NX Nastran and not the MSC version. I already came across the msc documentation, nevertheless NX does not have the J-integral included. I was therefore wondering if somebody knew if it is possible to do J-integral calculations using VBA or another script.
Thanks guys,
I tried modelling with the 'start text' option, but this is very inefficient. Do you know any post-processor or script which can calculate the J-integral from NASTRAN output files?
It would help me a lot!
Ok, solved it myself. Apparently there was something wrong with the datatype. The thread can be deleted if necessary.

Dear all,
I'm writing an Excel VBA comment, which should automatically build a plane with stiffened panels. In drawing the curves, I succeed, however when I try to extrude these curves I cannot get my code working. Can somebody check what I am doing wrong?

Hi there,
I'm currently looking into cracking of a plate. I know the NASTRAN solver has these CRAC2D and CRAC3D elements which are used to determine Ki and Kii etc. I'm starting a simple investigation with just a quater of a plate, but cannot find where to specify the CRAC2D element to my mesh...
