I have a Marc model, which I need to open in Abaqus. I am not able to export it directly and inport it in Abaqus, as a large part of the model is not inported.
However, Patran is able to read Marc and Abaqus files... How can I inport Marc model to…
I am trying to model wing spar web using "Shear panels". The model is as following:
1) skin as shell elements
2) spar cap as 1D beam elements
3) spar web as 2D shear panels
Model files and pictures are attached.
Issue: I…
Hello, please help me with a good example with a PATRAN DB file and an MSC Nastran file to model a tapering beam using CBEAM/PBEAM. Thanks very much in advance.
Hi there!
I have a problem to simulate a very easier contact about 2D bodies, or better with a square against a line.
I would like to see the deformation of square (deformable) caused by a displacement imposed from the line (rigid). But…
Hello,
Is there a way to create an auto shell mesh with different thickness?
If I have a surface with non-uniform thickness, how can I create a mid surface mesh and specify different thickness to the shell element corresponding to the geom
Hi there!
I would like, in order to obtain the residual plastic deformation, insert a path of load like follow picture.
How can I insert this? I can try to achieve a LBC field with a file .csv (see attach) but I didn't get it. Can you help me…
Hello all,
I would like to run a thermo elastic analysis with Nastran (Patran pre/post processing).
My input is a thermal plot from a Sinda thermal analysis.
I'm able to generate a field from it and a thermal load in the structural…
Hello,
I understand the use of load cases in patran, if I have to apply loads in x, y and z. rather than doing 3 separate analysis , I can create three load cases and subcases and review the result in each x, y and z load case
What…
Hi together,
We changed our licence server yesterday. Since then, it is not possible to start patran anymore. In the serverlog I find the following problem.
08:24:57 (MSC) DENIED: "CAMPUS" xxx@xxx [CAMPUS:PATRAN] (77 licenses) (Licensed…
Hi there!! I asking a big help. I doing my master thesis with MSC Patran/Nastran and it consists in a non linear analysis because there are contact and plastic deformation. About contact I had any problem, i have been working for 1 month for that!!! I…
Hi there!!
I doing tensile test with Patran and Nastran for my master thesis. I need save the graphic about result with a file .jpg o similar, it is possible? How? Also I would like change the background of graphic and the color about line because…
Hello,
I am trying to apply some clamping (compressive) load in the analysis. My simplified model is below;
I have a top and btm shell element connected via a 1D beam (circular cross-section). my goal is that the 1D beam element compresses…
Is there any information that I can use on how to give thermal load?
I am planning to do a simple SOL 101 analysis of a cantilever beam. I want to give a temp gradient of approx. 100 and review the stress and strain .
Hello,
How can I extract sectional force in patran? Suppose I have 3 rows of hex elements, if I apply tensile load on the top row, I want to review the sectional load (in the middle row).
We have a case where the MNF needs to be adjusted but we do not have the files that were used to create it. Is there a way to import into Patran to recover the mesh?
Hello,
I creating an excel file with some grid points spacing (0.05" interval). I saved the file as csv and converted into dat. Now when I am trying to import it into Patran it is not reading the grid points and given me error.
Here…
Hello,
I am running a normal modes analysis (SOL 103) but when i try to access my h5 results i get this error:
" An internal error occurred when retrieving Direct Results Access data in routine: "DraGetStateData". "

I am MSC One user, these days we just noticed that we do not have the fatigue module in Patran GUI, is it normal?
Hope to get the feedback from you, thanks a lot!
I have to model bolted joints between two plates.
1) How can I model bolted joints?
2) Does PATRAN has elements which can be used to model bolted joints? How can we use those elements?
I am interested in stresses in plates. Stresses…
I have created two solid bodies with a gap between them and meshed it with HEX elements. I want to connect nodes on adjacent sides of the gap using MPC (RBAR or rigid). SOL 101 is performed but I keep on getting error excessive pivot ratios (elements…
I get the Error Message:
