Non-Linear Static

PAT322: Advanced Engineering Analysis with MSC/PATRAN Advanced FEA

Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of a Cantilever Beam:Understand the concepts and limitations of linear and nonlinear analysis. Perform and compare small and large displacement analyses on a cantilever beam model.

 

Element Selection Study: Re-run the cantilever beam you analyzed in Lesson 1 with different Finite Elements. You will study the effectiveness of various 1-D, 2-D and 3-D elements in linear as well as non-linear analysis.

 

Necking of Test Specimen: Understand the importance of the concept of true stress in non-linear analysis by completing this elasto-platic problem.

 

Gap Elements: Learn the usage of GAP contact elements. Perform non-linear static analysis with various contact conditions.

 

Crushed Pipe: Model a crushed object by using large displacement analysis and rigid contact analysis.

 

Analysis of a Rubber Seal: A trunk door is analyzed in this exercise. The objective is to examine the stresses and deflections created during the closing of a door by using hyperelastic material properties.

 

Post-Buckling Analysis of a Thin Plate: A slight imperfection is given the model created in exercise 13a. Perform a nonlinear static analysisin order to see the behavior of the plate prior to post-buckling.

 

Nonlinear Transient Analysis of Vibrating Wire: Develop a 1D model that represents a wire of constant section clamped at both ends, and slowly loaded with a point force at the middle of the wire. Produce two animations of the deformation, one created with quick animation and the other showing true deformation (created using Insight)

 

Sliding Block: This exercise consists of a small block sitting on a baseplate. A pressure is applied to the top of the block, and it is moved 5 units to the right. The purpose of this exercise is to introduce you to setting up a problem involving a Contact boundary condition. In addition, it gives a method for monitoring the progress of a nonlinear analysis.

 

Crushed Pipe II: In this exercise, a symmetrical model of a cylindrical pipe is modeled as being crushed between two rigid bodies. Perform a non-linear static analysis on this model.

 

Analysis of a Rubber Seal II: In this Exercise, you will be increasing the trunk door displacement from exercise 9. The additional deflection will cause the rubber seal to contact itself. Define a general slide line contact condition and perform a non-linear analysis on this model.

 

Shock Analysis of a 3-Story Structure: Create a model of a 3-story building using MSC/PATRAN. Perform a response spectrum analysis and compare results to hand solution.

 

PAT328: New Features in MSC/PATRAN 5.0-6.0

Crushed Pipe: Perform large displacement analysis, rigid contact analysis using analytic rigid surfaces and then plasticity modeled with perfectly plastic material for a crushed pipe.
