    Can "Failure indices bond indices" be greater than "Failure indices, Maximum indices

    Greetings My question is regarding Can "Failure indices bond indices" be greater than "Failure indices, Maximum indices ?? [Mat8, Tsai-wu criterion used, in PCOMPG, SB also being used] e.g Failure Indices, Maximum Indices = 0.828 Failure Indices, Ply Indices (All plies) =0.015 Failure Indices...

    SRCOMPS in NASTRAN/PATRAN

    Dear All, Greetings I need your help regarding strength ratios calculation in Nastran/patran. Is it possible to use such command / entry by calling them in prepostprocessor Patran, (like bulk entry while we call for analysis , nastran solver) If yes, then how to use it? confuse with the...

    torsional stiffness

    Nevenick, As you know torsional stiffness is k=Torque/Thetha and first find out the thetha in .f06 file by looking against the axis where you applied moment (means if you apply moment at z axis, you will get thetha in R3)it will be in radians and once you get that and you already know torque...
