  • How to obtain the value of the Nodal Volumes in a model?

    I'm performing a thermal analysis with elements Tet4, and I was wondering if it is possible to obtain the value of the nodal volumes that are associated to each node in my model as an output
  • Buckling analysis (SOL105) with multiple load cases

    Setting aside the argumentation of whether it is meaningful at all to run a linear buckling analysis for multiple load cases, how to correctly model it? In the case of a buckling analysis with only one subcase the analysis run without any issue…

  • Hi everyone. I am running a SOL101 with glued contact. Is it possible to get the forces/stresses between the glued part? Or because there are glued the forces and stresses are not possible to postprocess? Thanks in advance

  • Has anyone document a workflow to implement Hot Spot Stress Approach of welded structures according to IIW Hobbacher (Ed), 2009? I have encountered a scenario that the extrapolated stress at 0.4t and 1.0t is trending downwards instead of upwards.

  • Can NASTRAN 2021 or later compute VonMises stresses directly in a random or sine vibe analysis directly?

    I have sine and random analysis stresses I need to validate for our instrument models containing plate, solid and beam elements. To date, I have used the RMS stress components to approximate the RMS Von Mises for random or peak stress in sine.
  • How to enforce rotation about an axis of a CORD2R?

    How should I prescribe a rotation of a group of nodes about the y-axis of a CORD2R. Using SPCD seems to rotate about the globaly y-axis, not a local axis. Thank you

  • Hi, I've a large model with different damping coefficients via GE within the MAT1 card and run a frequency response analysis.

    When reducing even some small parts of it to a superelement with K4DAMP and AUTOQSET,YES I get slightly different displacements in the higher frequencies range in compare to using no superelement at all, image attached. Is it because the overall reduction…
