  • Doubts in fringe panel

    Hi, I would like to get the understanding on the following queries. 1. Averaging definition setting was not available in apex (refer below fig). What's the reason behind that ? 2. Shape function extrapolation option not available in Apex (refer below…
  • Export Vibration results via Python

    Hello, I am working with the Vibration plugin and I am struggling to access and export the results of my analyses via Python code. I am not working in batch modus. What I currently do is that I plot my results in the post processor…
  • Patran Create Results

    I am using Patran "Create Results" option to post process my stress results. I have a number of load cases in my results. Basically i intend to get the ratio of minimum min principal to maximum max principal for my whole model. I have created two…
  • Adams real tíme animation

    Hello has anybody experience with Adams real tíme animation? ​ I​ was trying to follow PDF from what is new in Adams 2018.1 i can follow procedure until starting review real tíme animation, import fmu hit spolu. Information window shows no error…
  • Translation and Rotation Report Write

    Hello, what i am trying to do is report translation and Rotation forces into a single file so that i can then put them into excel. i have been messing around with the PCL code but i can not figure out how to keep the translational…
  • Save graphic and data

    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…
  • Could I use SKIPON/SKIPOFF?

    I've built an Apex model with multiple analysis scenarios. Each scenario has about 9 load case events and each scenario is exported to its own bdf for solving in Nastran. After building and exporting, we decided we did not want to run through all the…
  • Is format documentation for the HDF5 results file available?

    I'm a big fan of NASTRAN's ability to supply results in as HDF5 file, but occasionally I find it difficult to determine where to find the results I'm interested in. Currently I load the file into PATRAN to reverse engineer things that aren't clear, but…
  • How to envelope stresses across multiple scenarios and/or events?

    I've got 5 study scenarios, each with 10 to 20 different load cases (events). Is there any way to plot the max stresses for all parts in an assembly across multiple events, and (better yet), across multiple scenarios?
  • How can I export solution quantities from Patran?

    Lets say I have a very large model with a large number of load cases, and I am generating envelope stress plots over various combinations of these load cases. Just making one envelope plot can take many minutes for large model. Then once I have this plot…
  • How can I exclude (not hide) some parts or assemblies from results post-processing?

    I can hide components that aren't of interest in a post-processing plot. But the legend and (more importantly to me) the max/min hot spot marker tool still see or reflect the plotted but hidden data in the hidden parts/assemblies. I'd like to be able…
  • Plot SRCOMPS in Patran?

    I know this is an old question but I just want to make sure I have the most current information on it. I'd like to be able to post process fringe plot the SRCOMPS that I'm having Nastran calculate just like I can the Failure Indices (i.e. Tsai-Wu). The…
  • Can the post range spectrum be reversed? (cold-hot to hot-cold?)

    Often, a low number is worse than a high number (i.e. composite strength ratio). I like for values that are trending toward "bad" to also trend toward red, not blue.
  • Patran create results - maximum

    I have a large number of results load cases in result window. I am interested in finding the maximum von-mises stress from all load cases. I found max von-mises stress from Create -> Fringe and selecting multiple loadcases. Another…
  • Detach result file operation does not work on PATRAN Ver.2007.01

    When I tried to detach a result file, it did not work. Instead, I got the following error: $# Detach external results file: D:\dd4_2_ori.odb res_dra_detach_file( 1, 8, 24 ) $# Sql error : code = -999 vector = []; DbAbort in DbDeleteResCases…
  • How can I interrogate nodal results values in Apex?

    For example, in a fringe plot of stress or composite failure indices, I'd like to click on particular nodes to have the nodal values displayed there. Short of this, is there a way to pick the values out of a file?
  • Correct procedure for saving post processing plots?

    Hi, I am analysing data from tests of two different vehicles in adams car post processing window and comparing results on the same plot. When I exported the plot config file and opened it up again, I get duplicate results of each curves, meaning…
