  • Thermal analysis in Sinda with radiation enclosure

    Hello. I'm preforming one thermal simulations in Sinda. My first model is without enclosure radiation and runs very well. When I add radiation enclosure I can calculate srm and sin file, but when I load sin it stay stuck in this point? Sinda…
  • Thermal simulation with Sinda in Patran

    Hello, I'm preforming some simulations in Sinda, and when I try to initiate the simulation this stay sucked and don't start. With tutorial works fine, but when I try to do in a simple electronic box doesn't work. I only have 15 tokens…
  • Thermica V4 Installation

    I'm new user in MSC software. I'm using Sinda to preform thermal analysis and I need thermica V4 to preform some analysis. This software is not installed in my version, I can use only Sinda Rad. How can I install thermica V4?
  • What method is best to extract the moments and forces at the joints of a stick model (beam elements)?

    I have a stick model of a support platform. The structure is made of I-Beams connected by brackets and plates. What method is best to extract the moments and forces at the joints? I want to do some classical hand calculations on the joint design.

    Hello, I'm preforming some random analysis. The stress results are presented in 1-Sigma scale, 2 -Sigma or 3-Sigma? How can I change?
  • Stresses in Shell elements

    Hello, I preform one static analysis, a gravity check analysis. In this analysis I have solid elements and shell elements. In f06 file I can see shell elements stress but when I plot the results in Patran I only can see the stress and…
  • write out data into excel

    i have few disp graphs vs time (transient solution) for various nodes. I am using the utilities result tab to write out xy data, but it write out each graph (node) as a separate file. Is there a way to write out just one file with all the graphs in the…
  • Automating a result

    Hello, I am trying to plot graph and write our the curve for few nodes in the model. I need to these steps multiple times for various load cases. I was trying to create a session file and play it so that it automates and somehow the session file…

  • Strain energy total by group

    I am not a Patran expert so i apologize if this is very simple... I would like to get a list of percentages of strain energy by group per mode in a modal analysis. I can see that you can plot it or list all elements, but i would like a sum…

  • Hi I like to import thermal results from another software into patran to define a temperature boundary condition. The results are in csv format, with x, y, z coordinates and the temperature.

    These results should be used for defining nodal temperatures on a nastran mesh. Attached Files (1) tempfield-test1.csv
  • I am running a pcl utility under: Utilities: FEM-Elements: Modify 3D Connectivity.... The utility operates on a selected group of elements and allows a user to modify the node sequencing of each element. This in turns changes the local CS of the

    element and the outward normal. I have several thousands elements to modify. Once I start the utility, it determines the current node sequencing of the element and then modifies it to the desired sequencing. However, for each element, the utility and…
