rotordynamics analysis by PATRAN and NASTRAN

Submitted by dollfish000 on

Hi guys,

    Is there anybody use PATRAN and NASTRAN to simulate rotor-bearing sysytem.

After modeling the shat and meshing it, I don't know which element type can be used to 

analysis the bearing than contain cross stiffness and damping  coefficients.

The following is an exmple:

Anyone can download this, and upload for me? or find another link!

thanks.

Patran/PCL parametrization

Submitted by quickstart on

Dear imechanica users,



I have decided to learn how to use .ses and .pcl files in Patran to simplify repeatable operations.



In my problem, I would like to consider several beams of the same length, loading/BC conditions etc. but with different cross-section dimensions.

In order to make my calculations fully automatic, I have parametrized both width and height of the cross sections (as REAL a,b) and created nested FOR loops to obtain 20 different designs.



I would be grateful for answers on these questions:

Online finite element analysis of nanoindentation (indentation)

Submitted by sobh on

Dear All, 

 

We (the NanoBIO Node at Illinois ) have a preliminary release of an online finite element analysis of nanoindentation (indentation) tool using FEAP

This preliminary release is limited to linear elastic material, axisymmetric geometry, spherical rigid indenter, and various boundary conditions.

I have an eigenvalue solver, subspace iteration, that can get only positive eigenvalues. I have a problem (K - lambda M)u=0 that has pairs of eigenvalues +/- lambda. How can I transform the eigenvalue problem for the solver to search for lambda^2 rather than lambda?
