Suppose i have a l-shaped honey comb structure. can i juss model the horizontal panel and verticla panel seperately and then tie the nodes at their intersection.or is there any other guidelines i need to follow. i know that i would have to define local orientation for the panels so that their...
in ne nastran how do i model different parts and then assemble them. like in abaqus u create different parts and then in assembly module u create an instance and assemble the model. is there a way i can follow this method in nastran?
what is the advantage of juss modeling the top face of a sandwich panel over modeling the midsurface of the panel? any insight. or can a sandiwch panel be idealised by midsurface modeling?
I have a question regarding the boundary condition for a plate which is simply supported on all four edges. How do i simulate this condition in a FE software. what i mean is what are the d.o.f that i would have to constrain considering each node has 6 d.o.f..Thanks.
Hello everyone, I am new to NE nastran and i want to analyse a honeycomb structure with aluminum facings and a honeycomb core. Could anyone guide me as to how to assign the material properties and is there any example which would be useful. I would really appreciate any kind of help. Thanks...
Hello everybody...could anyone brief me about how to model a honeycomb structure? as far as i know multi-point constraints have to be used between the shell facing and the solid core. Is this right? any examples? thanks

I am facing problems to mesh a scarf joint using 2d solid elements. I am using structured technique but near the scarf i am not able to control the mesh. could anybody suggest a meshing technique? thanks.
hello, i am using solid elements to model a composite laminate which consists of 18 layer of plies. so does it mean that i just have to create 18 partitions and then assign the material coordinate system according to the fibre orientation and then give the composite properties. my doubt is about...
I am new in the area of shell modeling. Suppose i use 3d deformable planar shell and specify the thickness how will i get to know the through thickness stresses. say there r many layers. so i guess in this case i have to go for 3d shell extrusion right? also could anyone tell me the importna...
suppose a bar is subjected to a temperature change. I run a thermal analysis to get the temperature distribution in the bar. Later on i want the equivalent mechanical load tht would stress the bar by the same amount. How could i obtain that load? i know that sigma= alpha*delta T where delta T is...
Hello everybody. I was wondering if it is possible to generate an autocad drawing from abaqus cae. If yes how do i do it? Also is it possible to dimension the 3d model in abaqus? thanks.
Hello everyone, I am doin a structural analysis of a Z-shape beam bolted to a flat panel. I want to find the equivalent area of the Z-shape beam. I have constrained one end of the aluminum beam in the x-direction and i am pulling the other end of the composite beam in the x-direction. So now i...

hello everybody. I have a force applied to the side of a solid I-beam structure.i have the option of calculating the neutral axis theoritically. but is there a way i can find the neutral axis by using abaqus output? I am using solid elements.if i find a way to caluclate the neutral axis then i...
hello, can anybody tell me how to look for the clamp force if i simulate a bolted joint in abaqus. right now am looking at the contact force in the transverse direction. is this right?
