    Bimetallic model issue

    Yeah, the issue is that your simple support has 3 nodes. If you had this setup in real life, you'd get compression on the left end of that support but the right end would bend up and not be in contact. Look at what kind of contact you're modeling—it seems that separation is not occurring.

    NASTRAN Float Formatting

    Nastran-95 looks like Fortran 77 to me. The codebase for Nastran actually goes back to the 60's, predating quite a lot of changes to Fortran. Backward compatibility is very prized so Nastran is probably representing numbers in its own way. Nastran number formats are quirky, e.g., 7 could be...

    MSC Dytran & Stress Question

    To me, this looks like a typo in the manual—everything makes sense if you change "first" to "second". If you search the manual for invariant, it seems that they are using the usual definitions (with the first invariant being the trace), e.g...
