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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
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:

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...
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...
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...
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...
Dear Matparta,
When the excitation is defined in amplitude of displacement or velocity in the frequency range the correct approach is to convert the excitation to acceleration and apply to the base of the frame structure using an RBE2 spider rigid element, not to the point mass: in the point...
Dear David,
The trick I do is to play with ERASE MODE: simply use SELECT SURFACES command and use METHOD^ > FROM ELEMENT > SELECT VISIBLE > OK and all elements associated with the selected surfaces & proper surfaces will be erased from the screen: any surface missing to mesh will be visible in...
Dear David,
Plate/Shell elements are devoted to mesh the midsurface of a solid, and the thickness goes half to top & half to bottom fiber.
You have OFFSET option in the mesh > mesh control > attributes property for surfaces command: this will allows to mesh either the top or bottom face in...
Dear David,
This is exactly the meaning of the GLUE surface-to-surface, see my blog:
https://iberisa.wordpress.com/2011/08/21/contacto-rigido-curva-a-superficie-glue-edge-to-surface-contact-por-jim-bernard-siemens-plm/
Glue is a simple and effective method of Simcenter NASTRAN to join meshes...
