    NASTRAN FX

    Hello, I am trying to simulate a shear force in a beam. Due to the fact that i have several nodes on the same section and several thicknesses i would build a set of forces that would match the total force. But for this i have to select the nodes in the are that i want. Does anyone knows how to...

    Joining Surfaces

    Hello again, I already worked this out thanks to the support team of SMARTCAE. Apparently the problem was generated by the graphic card. I have a INTEL(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset family. I went to the properties of the graphic card and decreased the hardware acceleration to the minimum and it is...

    Joining Surfaces

    Hello, I am using Nastran FX. Could anyone tell me what is the best way to join several surfaces so that each node of each surface mesh coincides with the other nodes in other surfaces? I import the surfaces from Rhinoceros in a step file. I have tried FUSE the geometry before meshing and after...

    Hello, I did not explain myself well. I am doing some 2d simulations of a cross section of a catamaran and i am wondering what kind of boundary conditions should i use, for example: 1 - Pinned where the sideshell meets the main deck and free for movement in x in the oposite side . 2 - Pinned in...

    OUTPUT IMAGES

    Hello, I am using nastran FX and doing some simulations. To analyse the results and to do a report i have to print the images of several simulations. Is there a command to export automatically after solving the problem? Thanks
