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 (with spring): Demonstrate the use of nonlinear static analysis restarted with buckling parameters.
