NAS 101: Linear Static and Normal Modes Analysis
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
NAS 103: MSC/NASTRAN Nonlinear Analysis
Linear Buckling Load Analysis (without spring): Demonstrate the use of linear buckling analysis.
Linear Buckling Load Analysis (with spring): Demonstrate the use of nonlinear static analysis restarted with buckling parameters.
NAS120: Linear Static and Normal Nodes Analysis Using MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN
Buckling Analysis of a Thin-Shell Cylinder: Create a thin-shell cylinder and prepare it for MSC/NASTRAN input file for Buckling analysis.
