Create a tube model with a 'rigid' end and apply a torque load for linear static analysis.
5. Rigid Element Analysis with RBE2 and CONM2:
Create a tube model with a 'rigid' end, define mass concentrations and apply a gravitational load for linear static analysis.
6. Modal Analysis of a Circular Plate:
Model a circular plate using a 30 degree section for symmetric boundary conditions, submit for modal analysis and find first three natural frequencies with mode shapes.
7. Elastic Stability of a Plate:
For a flat plate generate a finite element representation, define the material, apply a force load with boundary conditions and prepare the model for buckling analysis. Additionally, find the first five natural modes
