Naki,
It seems your geometry is not correct.. your step file is not closed to perform solid meshing or it it is, some surfaces might be twisted enough not to perfom meshing.
A good way is to look at your specification tree... if you have nothing under partbody but a lot under open body, you...
local weld modelling approach to global weld modelling approach seems to be promising. An interesting approach is used within LMS Virtual lab durability (ie Falancs).
Corus,
both linear and pseudo-elastic calculations can be used to perform fatigue calculations. Neuber correction is aimed at correlating your linear stresses or deformations with the cyclic stress-strain curve. if you have performed your calculations using Abaqus (pseudo-elastic model) you...
Michel,
It depends on the way your CFD system is based on FE,CV or FE/CV. An unstructured mesh with most equilateral elements do avoid numerical anisotropy....
use CFDesign, it'll do the trick without even thinking of the nature of your mesh....
Are you using Mechanica in integrated mode or not ?
if integrated mode, just create a new CSYS from within mechanica as you use to create one within Pro/E, BTW, CSYS might be created on the fly when creating your BCs. Current CSYS turns into green...
In standalone mode 3 points might be...
most simulation features can be seen from within model tree.
User interface has changed dramatically
connection menu is enhanced and rigid connections are new.
Postprocessing has changed quite a lot.
SPA solver, and AutoGEM are much faster ! you can also have access to autoGEM settings from...
If you do want to introduce damping effects you need to perform complex modal analysis, ie Stiffness matrix may have a real part and a complex part to introduce frequency dependent materials properties. By doing this, you do not need to introduce numerical damping to tune or correlate your FE...
