    Can I copy text in Femap?

    Dear Thomas, This is a good enhacement request for FEMAP: actually do not exist any COPY command applied to TEXT, the only trick I suggest is to repeat the TOOLS > TEXT command and use the same VIEW POSITION - TEXT ORIGIN location updating the LAYER in every new text task, I will send a request...

    ROD Forces direction

    Dear Xprivate, Please share the FEMAP (*.modfem) model here and we can take a look to it. One thing is the resultant internal axial force, and another the reaction forces at the constrained end, this is dependent of the applied loads to the structure. Best regards, Blas.

    FEMAP CSV Input

    The Comma-Separated Table Format The comma-separated table format that is supported by Femap is very simple. The following sample shows the basic capability, including titles and ID numbers, for a file with three output vectors: , "title 1", "title 2", "title 3" 1, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 2, 2.2, 3.1...

    FEMAP CSV Input

    Dear Admiral, To import results from a CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file in Femap, you can follow these steps: Ensure the Model is Loaded: Before importing results, make sure the model into which you want to import the results is open in Femap. The model must contain the necessary nodes and...

    Using CBUSH Elements in GAP Element Connections

    Dear NL12345, In fact, CGAP are redundant, but if you insist to have CGAP + CBUSH + RBE3 in the same model instead to have to apply external rotational constraints in nodes shared by CGAP & CBUSH the trick is to convert the RBE3 in a rigid RBE2 activating the 6 DOF in the DEPENDENT NODES. Of...

    Meshing in Femap

    Dear Danny, Explain the sequence of the process with pictures or write a video, and please share the Femap (*.modfem) and we can take a look to it, thanks!. Best regards, Blas.

    Using CBUSH Elements in GAP Element Connections

    Hello!, Please post a copy of both FEMAP (*.modfem) models and we will take a look to investigate the problem, the devil is in the details!, thanks!. Best regards, Blas.

    Unable to mesh layer by layer in surface geometry

    Of course, YES!, we have another resource very powerful in FEMAP: MESH CONTROL EXPLORER!! (new feature of FEMAP V2022.1, DEC 2020). NOT need to stitch or sew surfaces, with MESH CONTROL EXPLORER surfaces remains isolated, but FEMAP is able to perform a number of different tasks, including...

    FEM Contact Analysis Variables

    Hello!, I have also "played" with a lug "invented" example using FEMAP trying to explain to our customers how to take advantage of the 2-D solid plane stress simplification in contact problems, also compare with GLUE effect...

    Unable to mesh layer by layer in surface geometry

    Dear Icarus, Please note: one entity (say one node or element) only belong to ONE layer, instead one entity can belong to multiple groups: this is critical to understand. How do you plan to assure continuity in displacements?: merging nodes is the classical method, so you need to STITCH...

    The Unit Temperature Increase validity check

    Hello!, For THERMAL GLUE coupling tutorial with Simcenter FEMAP & NASTRAN please visit my blog in the following address, all is explained in detail step-by-step: https://iberisa.wordpress.com/2013/05/19/thermal-coupling-tutorial/ The old link here...

    Model organisation, version control

    Dear RB & RG, Blas here, but sorry, FEMAP do not support configurations model management to deal with assemblies & subassemblies, this is a dream I have had always with FEMAP, also commented with development, but in FEMAP all is "manual". But we have available the great FILE > MERGE command: it...

    Point Move to Error

    Hello!, Use the MESHING TOOLBOX and use command PROJECT/MOVE POINT : first select the point at the target location, and next select the source point you want to move Here some examples I have created to explain this new feature of moving points in geometry using the MESHING TOOLBOX in the...

    Use SRS input for Nastran SOL 111

    Dear Mat, In the blog I explain a simply cantilever beam of a sine vibration modal frequency response dynamic analysis (SOL111) under a base motion: The constrained node of the base is excited by a constant acceleration of 0.25G in the frequency range say 0-500 Hz: Critical damping of 10% is...

    Use SRS input for Nastran SOL 111

    Dear Mat, Random Vibration analysis is a postprocessing task of modal dynamic frequency response (SOL111), see my blog of Simcenter FEMAP & NASTRAN: https://iberisa.wordpress.com/2021/01/17/random-vibration-con-femap/ The excitation for a frequency response (SOL111) in general is a constante...
