    Fitting factor and casting factor

    Follow to the discussion from Link Fitting factor FF = 1.15 In [14 CFR § 25.625 - Fitting factors] we can read. "No fitting factor need be used with respect to any bearing surface for which a larger special factor is used." Assume, I have casting factor CF=1.25, because the part is made by...

    Example of bat file to run Nastran for every *.dat file in the current folder

    This is example of Windows bat file to run Nastran for every *.dat file in the current folder. It also calculates the total Nastran execution time. Of course, you should change path to nastran.exe. The nice thing here is that script uses variable set MyPath=%cd%, so you don't need to enter path...

    Torsion shear stress using patran free-body tool

    I have non-symmetrical beam cross-section, where centroid does not coincide with shear center. I extracted free-body forces and moments at the centroid: Fx,Fy,Fz,Mx,My,Mz, where Mz is torsion moment. I want to calculate torsion shear stress by the formula: fs=T*n/J, where J=(1/3)*sum^n_{i=1}b_i...

    Cross-sectional properties using Patran Beam Library

    How to get cross-sectional properties (moments of inertia, area, etc) if the cross-section consists of several separate parts? I usually get cross-section properties in Patran from Beam Library using Arbitrary Shape option. But in this case (several disjoint areas) it does not work. Thank you!

    Stress result in particular point

    Dear friends! How to get stress result in particular point inside solid (I have geometrical coordinates xyz)? Should I cut solid and use mesh seeds? It should be another way, right? Thank you! Vlad
