Practical Finite Element Analysis Techniques using MSC Nastran Training Course (NAS105)
This course provides practical advice and guidance in using MSC Nastran for a variety of structural applications. Special Nastran techniques that can be used to obtain better results at less cost are discussed. Participants will increase their engineering productivity by modelling difficult shapes more easily, finding errors quickly, and running problems more efficiently. The course begins with practical information on element techniques, examining the potential problems as well as the benefits of using elements in various modelling situations. Particular attention is paid to mesh transitions, including the use of "R-type" elements such as RBE2, RBE3, RSPLINE, etc. This discussion is followed by recommendations for static and dynamic analysis and information to aid in diagnosing modeling errors. In addition, the seminar explores some of the advanced features of MSC Nastran and how they can be used to reduce costs and improve user efficiency. These features include cyclic symmetry, superelements, and using linear analysis to approximate nonlinear behaviour.
