Hi I am running a FEMAP model of a simple laminate loaded in compression and tension. I have PARAM SRCOMPS YES selected. But when I output the strength ratio they are coming out as 0. I had failure indices and strains but for some reason the SR =0

I am looking to compare my hand calculations from my classical laminate theory tool to a FEM model. I am using FEMAP and want to apply a Nx load of 100lb.in. How does this convert into the FEMAP load definition. If I use point load the unit would be lbf correct...

Hi I am currently running a FEMAP model and exporting the forces of a shell model and running a CLT hand calculations to get the strains. I want to compare these strains to the strains in FEMAP. Do I compare them to the normal X and Y strains in FEMAP ?

Hi I have a a model that contains materials properties. I want to update all these material properties with material properties from another model. Both models have the same names for the material properties but different properties. Is there a way to do this automatically.

Hi I am looking to output the overall strain of a laminate in FEMAP. Looking to either get the max ply strain of the overall strain in FEMAP interface

When i request strain output it gives me the strain for every ply how do I get it for the overall laminate ?

Hi I am looking to output the overall strain of a laminate in FEMAP. Looking to either get the max ply strain of the overall strain in FEMAP interface

Hi Blas Thank you for this information. In regards to the merging of the nodes, what of the top and bottom shells did not have the same number of nodes ?

I have created a model in which in contains two shell elements and a layer of cohesive elements CHEXCZ in between the shell elements. I am looking to know if I need to merge all the nodes between the three layers or how does the cohesive layer work.

Hi I am looking to create cohesive elements in NX Simcenter 3D. I don't want to look at the cohesive layer between plies in a laminate I want to look at the cohesive/ bonded joint in-between two different surfaces that are attached e.g foam to skin. I am using Simcenter 3D Multiphysics...

Hi Blas Thank you for this extremely helpful post. The images provided were extremely helpful.

Hi I am looking to export X,Y and Z forces from a RBE2 element in NX Siemens Simcenter. I have used an RBE2 at a joint that transmits X,Y and Z forces. I am more familiar with PATRAN post processing, in which it had the ability to simply plot the MPC forces in the software and also had the...

Thank you, both of these options worked

Hi I am currently analyzing an engine and want to get the relative displacement of the shaft between two bearings. I have plotted the vertical displacement of the nodes on the shaft but I want to get the relative displacement between the engine bearings. So the nodes at the bearings would have...

Dear Blas Thank you for your advice. Can I ask why you wouldn't increase the memory to more than 70% ? Best regards Carrie

Hi I am trying to run a large model in NX Nastran Simcenter I am getting the following error EMA IS USED. INSUFFICIENT MEMORY SPECIFIED FOR EMAINC INCREASE THE MEMORY LIMIT BY 84745 MB FOR BETTER PERFORMANCE. I am not sure where I would increase this value by. Does anyone know how...
