NAS103: MSC/NASTRAN Nonlinear Analysis
Spring Element with Nonlinear Analysis Parameters (large displacement off): Learn how to run a simple linear analysis, interpret the results and understand the difference between linear and nonlinear behavior.
Geometric Nonlinear Analysis of a Cantilever Beam: Perform nonlinear analysis on a cantilever beam under four increasing loads, create an accurate deformation plot of the model and a plot of the load factor vs. displacement.
Nonlinear Snap-ThroughBuckling Load Analysis (different spring constants): Demonstrate the use of nonlinear static analysis for a snap-through load and show the effects of different spring constants on the load-deflection curve.
