    Buckling using ASET method in Femap

    ASET GRIDs should have all 6DOF constrained. You also need to include an SPC in addition to the ASET. See below for an example case control: SUBCASE 1 SUBTITLE = STATIC_RUN SPC = 1 LOAD = 1 SUBCASE 2 SUBTITLE = BUCKLING SPC = 1 STATSUB = 1 (static subcase) METHOD = 1 (EIGRL METHOD ID) BEGIN...

    Creating external superelement, but retain non-boundary nodes for plotting/visualization

    The MUG1 matrix is part of the Output Transformation Matrix (OTM). This will be used later to process superelement interior nodes output requests (displacements, accelerations). Unless you want the interior nodes to be a part of the superelement reduction and retained as exterior nodes, there is...

    FEMAP NASTRAN SET1 creation

    Is there a way in FEMAP to define a SET1 card in the bulk data section of the input file? We are performing MSC NASTRAN SOL105 buckling with PARAM,EXCLUDE which requires a SET1 bulk data entry. In FEMAP, the output request by group functionality will only create a SET in the case control...

    Harmonic Response Problem with FEMAP v2022.1 MP 1 - METHOD Card not Being Written

    Please verify you have a load defined in the boundary conditions. The load must have a "vs. Frequency" function defined. I have found that if a frequency-dependent load is not defined as a boundary condition, FEMAP does not write a EIGRL card. Once it defines the EIGRL card, the method command...
