FRAME SURFACE MODEL ANALYSIS

PAT301, Workshop 6, December 2005

z Workshop Objectives
z Create a finite element model (meshes; connect adjacent
elements; apply dead loads, operating loads, and gravity loads;
constrain nodes) for a intermediately difficult frame system
using MSC.Patran
z Perform an analysis of the model, and postprocess the results
from the analysis. The results that are looked at are 1)
deformation, 2) von Mises stress fringe, and 3) marker tensor
using two different coordinate system transformations.

z Problem Description
z Compare stress for different transformations
z Frame material: Aluminum with E = 10 x 106 psi, ν = 0.3, and
density = 2.61 x 10-4 lbf*sec2/in4

z Software Version
z MSC.Patran 2005r2
z MSC.Nastran 2005r2b

z Key Concepts and Steps:
z Database: create a new database with Analysis Code = MSC.Nastran and
Analysis Type = Structural
z Geometry: open MSC.Patran database to access the surface geometry
z Elements: mesh the surfaces with the Paver mesher, connect the
adjacent elements, and determine the aspect ratio of the elements
z Loads/BCs: constrain the four corners of the frame, and apply Total load
and gravity loading to the model
z Materials: specify an isotropic material for Aluminum
z Properties: create a 2D plate/shell property
z Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution Sequence =
101, Method = Full Run
z Analysis: access analysis results by attaching the XDB file to database
z Results: plot deformation, von Mises stress, and marker tensor results.
Use two different coordinate system transformations for the marker tensor
results.
