NAS 120: Linear Static and Normal Nodes Analysis Using MSC/NASTRAN and MSC/PATRAN
Finite Element Model of a 3-D Clevis and Property Assignment:
Define a finite element mesh for a 3-D Clevis and use mesh seeding for force loading in future exercises.
Spatial Variation of Physical Properties:
Learn how to create a circular plate with varying material and physical properties.
Using Groups and Lists:
Learn to import or construct a fairing with curves and surfaces. Also apply 1-D elements that will represent structural stiffeners.
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 Simply-Supported Stiffened Plate:
Create a stiffened plate, prepare a MSC/NASTRAN input file for a Linear Static analysis and visualize results.
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.
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.
