Simcenter Femap 2022.1 — Nastran Updates

Описание: Simcenter Femap 2022.1 includes improved support for functionality available in Simcenter Nastran, as well as other Nastran solvers.

It’s now possible to instruct Nastran to create an output file, which can be used by other Simcenter™ applications (including Simcenter 3D) from within the Simcenter Femap user interface via the Analysis Set Manager. You can now also set a preference to make this the default behavior.

Additionally, a Tension-Only Quadrilateral element is now available in Simcenter Nastran Multi-Step Structural Solution Sequence, SOL 401, which has the ability to convert from a shell element to a shear panel element when certain user-specified criteria have been met. Once the conversion has occurred, the element will continue to act as a shear panel for each Sequentially Dependent subcase following an initial Sequentially Independent subcase. It’s also possible to specify a parameter which controls whether tension-only capabilities should be considered for a particular analysis.

Finally, support is added for entries in Simcenter Nastran which offer a streamlined approach to specify control options for the Dynamic Design Analysis Method (DDAM). DDAM is a three-step process which runs a modal analysis, sends needed results and other inputs specified by the user to the NAVSHOCK Fortran application, then creates Summed Modal Results during the final step.
