Is there a simple way of creating pre-load in a fastener? I am looking for something similar to the utility in Patran, as I potentially have quite a few to setup.
I am trying to model a wire under a certain current which is co-planar to and encircles a planar coil (see attached .png of clarification). The coil is not attached to the wire in any way and there is no voltage or current applied to the coil. I would…
When I do this, I get error 2004 immediately, likely due to the existence of rigid body modes. When I apply no-slip to the nodes on one edge, I get error 1009, noting excessive deformation. I am guessing that the balance between gravity and water pressure…
Usually in Patran I will just create a point element, CONM2 and use an RBE to connect it to a mesh, but I'm unsure whether this is working in Marc/Mentat, as it is giving much lower results than my Patran run?
Did someone have experience in writing UGRAIN subroutine using any model such as Yada etc etc? Appreciate if someone can share an example of modified UGRAIN-subroutine.
Thank you.
Dear Support,
I would like to know whether the rotating axle mesh intersection with the bearing mesh is a problem due to rotating? Can the solver handle the problem? How to handle rotating mesh which is in contact with a fixed incorporated…
I see that I can plot the "major principal value of Cauchy stress" (axisymmetric structural analysis), as opposed to the min/inter/max principal value, but I cannot find a definition of this result. Can anyone point me to one?
I've seen major used…
A skewed plate model with obtuse angles of 150 degrees (see Figure 1.) subjected to uniform pressure of 700 Pa is evaluated. The maximum principal stress on the lower surface at the center of the plate (point E) is obtained using shell, solid and layered…
We have Marc Mentat 2017.0.0 installed but are unable import geometry.
When using the Import CAD as Solids feature the following error results
Security check failed!

If I choose Plasticity Properties ( Yield Criterion = Von Mises, Method = Table, Hardening Rule = Isotropic and Strain Rate Method = Piecewise Linear):
(1) What should I put into Yield Stress and Table?
(2) If I decide to use Table…
I'm having troubble constraining the rotational DOF (of an RBE2 reference node) in an axisymmetric analysis. First I noticed that Mentat just ignored this request, just applying the translational constraint on the node; then, after manually editing the…
Hi,
I have a bunch (app. 50) of Marc input deks which I want to run sequentially. Usually I work with Nastran and there we can create a .bat file which lists all the input deks.
I tried to do the same for Marc using the run_marc.bat command…
I need to simulate the bone remodelling. BTW, material of element need to be changed to adapt with its position in bone. And these position of elements will be changed by time?
Thank you!
Good Morning,
I'm working on the analysis of a lamination process, where a steel bar passes through a series of cylindrical rollers. Since the bar is subjected to a deep plastic deformation, my desire is to remesh the steel bar at the exit…
