NAS 120: Linear Static and Normal Nodes Analysis Using MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN
Loads and Boundary Conditions on a 3-D Clevis: Apply loading conditions and constraints to a 3-D Clevis.
Linear Static Analysis of a Simply-Supported Truss: Create a finite element truss with segments in tension or compression connected by smooth pins.
Linear Static Analysis of a Cantilever Beam (SI Units): Create and apply a pure bending load to a hollow, rectangular beam.
Linear Static Analysis of a Solid Lug: Create a geometrical cantilever lug, define nonuniform loads using Fields, prepare file for MSC/NASTRAN input and visualize analysis 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: Create a geometric representation of a tube, define the model by plate elements, define the weights of the model and run normal modes analysis.
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.
