folks,
so I have been told by my seniors my fundamentals are weak.. and to an extent I agree with that.
I want to get better and increase my stress analysis fundamentals knowledge. Could you guys please advise where I can start? flabel? bruhn?
if yall have any pdfs etc.& are willing to share, I...
How can I prevent FEMAP from rounding down load values? Where is even this option available?
Load values applied at the node are correct when I check by clicking on the load and edit. please help
thanks for your guys' responses...
all im asking is if you were to look at (read) strains in the wing spar caps, what output vectors would u look at in the contour plots? there's a bunch of strain related output vectors in results & im not quite sure which one to use.
HINT: answer could be as...
Is there a way to automatically add/remove multiple elements from multiple groups automatically, instead of having to go into each group, using the group > elements command and doing it that way?
your help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
When I create new rigid elements or CBUSh for that matter, they are displayed in the default 'white' color and not in 'red' color which I have defined. A regenerate also doesnt solve this problem. In the model info pane, i have click or element > by type > right click on rigids > color and OK...
Hi All,
is it possible to refine/update or remesh a mesh around cutouts without affecting the nodes on the edges of say a rectangular 2D mesh?
the nodes at the edges are nicely merged and some nodes at the edges have CBUSH elements defined so I want to keep those nodes undisturbed and only...
Hi All,
when we select tet meshing for solid meshing, does it automatically use tet10 elements to mesh the solid or is there some option to select tet10 elements specifically. if that's the case, how do we select tet10 elements for meshing. I tried looking for any drop down list or something in...
rb1957, thanks for your reply. I will try deleting the mesh.
jbrackin, one you are refering to is mesh points but I meant mesh seeds. rb1957 got what i was talking about but thanks for contributing :)
I defined mesh seeds for a surface and now I would like to delete them. I tried looking for an option to do that but couldn't find it. Anyone knows how to do it?
Also, can we use Geometry > solid > cleanup for midsurfaces? Will it get rid of any mesh points that we defined using "remove hole"...
Hi All,
I am trying to understand the difference between using layers and groups. I guess I do understand how they differ e.g. multiple layers can be displayed at a given time vs only one group can be visible at a given time. Also, a layer can only have one entity vs group can have as many...
hello Blas,
thanks a lot for your reply.
could you please explain more on geometry>solid>add command? like what will it exactly do? when it is used and when not to use? if I select all solids and click OK, will it dubplicate all solids?
So I imported an STP file in FEMAP, deleted unnecessary solids and then extracted mid surfaces. however, the resulting midsurfaces do not intersect. I tried using the midsurface>intersect command but to no avail. I am curious if
1) it's due to improperly defined "target thickness"
2) original...
stressebookllc, good idea but the only thing is I have don't have a few nodes. I have like 20 nodes or so which becomes very cumbersome. but thanks for your suggestion!
Hi,
I want to keep the selection order of nodes when I extract results from FEMAP. currently, when I extract results to data table, FEMAP automatically sorts my nodes in ascending order and i do not want that.
anyone knows how I can keep my nodal selection order?
thanks,
