I think there might be a little bit of misunderstanding as to what I want to do. I am not looking for Mc/I and P/A, but looking to evaluate the load sharing characteristics and specifically if a member reacts out a moment using axial load times moment arm or reacts out the moment by bending...
Thanks for the tip SW. I originally started down that path (calculating bending and axial stresses for each member) however I found that it was not easy to implement in a program. That I why I started down the path I described above as it is much simpler to execute.
Hello,
I have a quick question. I have a I beam whose cross section which is built up using rectangular members. The section has a moment applied to it. When I do an analysis of the section using FEA, it is obvious that a portion of the applied moment is reacted by bending in the web, and the...
Hello. I am new to Abaqus and am reaching out for some help.
First a little background. I am modeling a hat stiffener on a plate, the ends of which are embedded in a metal block. The instruction given to me was to (1) create a block solid, (2) sketch the hat/plate outline on the block, (3) use...
Thanks for the help! Unfortunately due to our security policy I cannot disable the screen saver (I am working on changing that policy, but do not see it happening anytime soon). Any other suggestions?
Hello
I am still struggling with my model. I have eliminated bolts that are not of interest to me and instead used bonded contact to join parts. I have run the model using draft elements to troubleshoot, and the model solves with no problem.
Using high quality elements the problem takes a...
We are also experiencing the following problem: on some of our workstations, after removing COSMOS 2005 and during installation of COSMOS 2006 we get the a message saying “Installation Interrupted” and the only option available is the finish “button” on the installation screen – thereby...
Hello,
We recently had SW2006 SP 4.1 installed. Previously I had no problems on start up, but now I receive the following error prompts when starting the program (please see attachment).
"the folder "c:\program files\common files\solidworks data\\partlibs" is invalid or is not writable...
Hello,
I have a part which is essentially a block that is bolted to a plate. Four bolts attach the block to the plate, and are fastened using nuts.
When I first ran the program, I was able to get results however all four bolts were listed as one "connector". I then went into solid works...
thanks for the info - I'll check out your recommendations.
One quick thing - I didnt think mentioning this specifically was important but when I say that I am pointed to a different part, the part I am speaking of is not connected/mated to the part listed by failure diagnostics.
Hello,
I am having the following problems with meshing an assembly in cosmosworks 2005:
1. When viewing failure diagnostics, while reviewing the part that failed, cosmos will point me to an edge on a different part.
2. After applying a control to a part, and leaving the global mesh settings...
