Does the shear strength value enter into the SW material database? If so, what is it's name in the physical properties section? For example, Tensile Strength is SIGXT. I am trying to create my own database but can't figure out how to enter a shear strength. Thanks in advance.
I basically have a lap joint in which there are 24 raidal fasteners securing a two cans together. This can will undergo dynamic loading so if the bearing strength of the material is reached (by the faseners) and the holes elongate, this part may fail.
I am looing for some material properties on A106B steel tubing. I founnd a source that has the tensile strength, but I am specifically looking for bearing and shear. Thanks in advance.
Found it. I have one question so far about the simple isotropic unstiffened cylinder under axial compression. When you solve for Nx, the result is an axial load per unit width of circumference. What is this exactly in lamens terms?
I see. That makes more sense now that I am looking at the buckling mode shape. Now is there a way to incorporate a correlation factor into Nastran so that the analysis it performs is not invalid? Hand calcs work fine if there is a simple load case, but not for a complex geometry.
I created a simply tube made up of plate elements and ran two buckling cases:
1. One end is fixed
2. One end is pinned
Now according to Eulers simple equation for linear buckling, the effetive length changes with the type of constraint. In Nastran, both cases yield the same eigenvalue. Am...
Thanks unclesyd,
We are using about 1/2" plate. Here is some more info on what I am trying to accomplish. I have had some T4 sheet metal rolled and riveted together. The base ring holding the assembly together is 6061-T6. I am trying to determine if baking the T6 at 350 degrees for 8 hrs...
I have a question on heat treating 6061 from T4 to T6. I have the information on what temperature to bake the metal to. After 8 hrs, do you simply open the door and allow it to air cool or leave the oven door closed to get a more gradual cooling process? Thanks.
Scott,
That is what I am trying to do. The thing is, I get am error if I do something like this:
<SIGSHEAR displayname="Shear Strength" value="500"/>
It doesn't like the SIGSHEAR, so I was wondering if there was a reference to the designations that could be used in SW and/or if there was a...
Is there a way to add different material properties to the material database within SW (i.e. shear strength)? I have learned my way around the .sldmat file but cannot figure out what the 'Name' should be. For example:
<ALPX displayname="Thermal Expansion Coefficient" value="0.000011"/>
What...
I am trying to print the FlexGrid I just created. I know the syntax is:
VSFlexGrid1.PrintGrid
After the .PrintGrid you can specify the title, orientation, ect. I am trying to change the orientation from portrait to landscape and cant figure out how to do it. Thanks in advance for any help...
I am trying to find an exmple of how to create an Imagelist. I have been trying to figure out the syntax with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it possible to create a tree in the light version of VSFlexGrid? I have located some documentation on C1FlexGrid by was wondering if that was specific to the full version. Thanks
Is there a simple way to create a TreeView that has the FlexGrid embedded in it? I know there are controls out there that you can purchase, but surely our friends at microsoft have something already in VBA (or possibly VB)?
This seems simple enough but it isnt working the way I want it to. I am trying to have the user select a holedimension, hit a hot key, select the type of note they wish to use for the hole (csink, cbore, etc) and be done with it. I have gotten everything working expect for the adding of the...
