Hi Everyone, How do you assign a CSYS for laminate shell elements if its a composite structure with a ramp and curvatures in the geometry. Because THis is a 2D FEM model, everytime i change the elemental CSYS the results are affected, if i assign the CSYS along the ribbon direction then how do...

if you are sure in which direction you have calculated you strains thats yours reference .make sure your material direction for you laminate elements is along ur calculated X strain. when yo uhave run your analysis and analysis parameter has strain requests ON, now you postprocess. in post...

martin, use the Merge option on FEMAP File tab to copy them

yes you are right , i was not sure whats the difference between the output vs the definition .Thank you SWComposites

did you mean the definition CSYS or OUTPUT CSYS?

hey Everyone , can anyone help me understand to which CSYS are the RBE DOF linked to , it is to the Global CSYS by default ? . Can i control these DOF with a specific CSYS of my choice ? if yes how do you do that on FEMAP interface ? Thank you all in advance

Thanks you Blas for the explaination

hi Blas , thank you for your response. But glue is essentially rigid connection, if i model all my connection region with glue elements the behaviour shouldnt change right ? yes SOL106 doesnot include the effects of glue , so that was the best approach i could think off

HI Everyone , i was modelling the glue connection for a windshield.the thing is i want to run a non linear glue contact analysis. since i dont have a license for that i planned to connect the matching glue contact mesh region with RBE2 elements. what do you think about this approach and how...

but will that OLOAD or resultant from FEMAP give the summation co-ordinates ?

hey everyone, i have a structure that is having a complex curvature, the curvature has some varying pressure distribution and i want to find the center of pressure for this pressure distribution. how do i do that on FEMAP. FEMAP gives me loads and moment along a requested CSYS but it doesnt give...

changing the interface from preferences dint help, but an easy fix was changing the analysis program from the Analysis Manager . Thank you all for responding

hi all, i generated a a BDF file from FEMAP for a client . The client uses MSC NASTRAN . The model has MAT 11 property on FEMAP , unfortunately its not compatible for MSC NASTRAN. i have no choice but to make the BDF from FEMAP compatible with the MSC NASTRAN solver.can someone guide me on what...

Hi @Paul_M , i have been running everything under SOL101 for now. i have no idea about that as this is somewhat new area for me.

@SW Composites , THanks for that. @rb1957 i will research on how to control the glue stiffness. External on the fuseshell. Its Part23 aircraft , Side window and bird strike is accomodated. fastening is not principal, but bonding is. Fastening is just to show some safety compliance and are...

thank you SW Composites thank you for your response. Also do you have any reference that could help ? THanks again @rb1957 yes the adhesive is rigid in FEM, i dont know if we can control the rigidity of the bond in FEMAP. yes it is aerospace application, and it is a cockpit door of an...

Hi all , i have a problem where my structure is a combination of glass material and aluminium. The glass is glued to the aluminum frame, also fastened to the frame . so basically the glass is fastened and glued to the aluminum frame.i am trying to simulate this on FEMAP. But when i run a glue...

Hi All, is there an API that generates a report with images from current view for all the outputs files in the result. Lets say i already have a contour plot being displayed , is there an API that copy paste the contour for different results into a single file ? thanks in advance

Hi TG_eng , i was using pressure mapping on elements . around 55700 elemnts were mapped with pressure from another similar model

Hi Everyone , question for FEMAP users. Has anyone experienced a sudden shutdown in the FEMAP window while using datasurfaces to apply load on your elements ? . If so how did you overcome this and how did u still apply the loads on the elements using data surfaces ? Thank you in advance
