NAS103: MSC/NASTRAN Nonlinear Analysis
Elasto-Plastic Deformation of a Thin Plate: Demonstrate the use of hyperelastic material properties, create an accurate deformation plot of the model and an XY Plot of Stress vs. Strain for all the subcases.
3-D Slideline Contact: Demonstrate the use of slideline contact and create an accurate deformation plot of all the subcases to produce a false animation.
NAS120: Linear Static and Normal Nodes Analysis Using MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN
Linear Static Analysis of a Simply-Supported Stiffened Plate: Create a stiffened plate, prepare a MSC/NASTRAN input file for a Linear Static analysis and visualize results.
Buckling Analysis of a Thin-Shell Cylinder: Create a thin-shell cylinder and prepare it for MSC/NASTRAN input file for Buckling analysis.
Normal Modes - Rigid Element Analysis with RBE2 and CONM2: Convert a Linear Static analysis input file to a Normal Modes analysis input file, generate weight information and review results.
Linear Static - Rigid Element Analysis with RBE2 and CONM2: Run previous lessons using linear static analysis.
Modal Analysis of Interpolation Constraint Elements and Concentrated Mass: Replace rigid elements with interpolation constraint elements in lesson 16 and run again for modal analysis.
