    Thermoelastic check problem

    Hi StressFEA, nice kick :) I have performed the analyisis constrained and unconstrained, and I get the same results, therefore I think that is not a constrain issue. Anyway the model is constrained just in one node which is joined to the structure by means of a MPC. initial temperature: 20ºC...

    Thermoelastic check problem

    Hi everybody, I´m performing a thermoelastic check to a FEM with Patran/Nastran, that is formed just by shells, beams and MPCs. I have followed the rules to perform the analysis as are; same CTE, poisson´s coef. and Elastic modulus, as well as RBE2 with 0 length and no offsets, the structure is...

    displacements in sol103 (normal modes analysis)

    Thank you Blas. I know that the first eigenvalue of 200Hz means a high stiffness, but I need it because ESA asks for a first mode >140 Hz. Anyway I will check the boundary conditions because I have suposed the fixation points as embeeded (0 dof in the central node of the MPC). Thanks again, Pedro.

    displacements in sol103 (normal modes analysis)

    Thank you very much to both of you, I knew that results from modal were only to get frecuencies and mode shapes but I didn´t know why, now I know. I think that my units are consistent, because I used mm, tonns, MPa, N. Pedro.

    displacements in sol103 (normal modes analysis)

    Sorry, I didn´t mention it. I´m using Patran preprocessor.

    displacements in sol103 (normal modes analysis)

    Hello everybody, I have performed a normal modes analysis to my model and I have obtained the first eigenfrecuency at 200Hz, but when I look at the deformation it is very high (20mm). Does anybody knows if it is normal??? because I have seen other analyses and displacements are lower. I don´t...
