Hi,
I'm seeking advice on best practices for meshing surfaces intersecting 90-degree angles using shell (plate) elements in Femap. The main challenge I'm facing is the appearance of high stresses at the sharp bends, which can lead to result uncertainties and failure in model validation checks...

Hello everyone,
I am trying to understand and use superelement in femap. The model consists of a cantilever beam constrained from one end (Node 5) and the free half of the beam (node 15:node 25) is superelement while the fixed half (node 5: Node 14) is my residue model.
I have listed 15...
Hi, I am trying to model a beam that has an initially curved shape. When I apply body force in direction perpendicular to the beam, it deforms unusually. Can anyone point to why it is happening and how to fix it?
In the attached image, the white curve is the undeformed shape while the colored...
Hi,
I performed a thermal analysis of a model In Msc Patrn/Nastran that included several Explicit Thermal MPCs. After getting the temperature distribution, I have changed the analysis preference type to structural. Is there a way to convert those thermal MPCs to structural MPCs, because they...
