Part 5 - Postprocessing
Introduction In the previous step we meshed the geometry to create the finite element model of the machined arm component. Then set up the analysis parameters and output requests for the NX Nastran solver. In this step we'll review the results ...
Part 3 - Preprocessing
Introduction In previous section we started the simulation process on a machined arm component, and imported and cleaned up the CAD data. In this section, we will continue the simulation process and define materials, element properties, and boundary ...
Part 1 - Femap User Interface
Introduction Before we begin our analysis, let's get familiar with Femap’s user interface. User Interface We’ll look at the main components of the user interface, including the maps command interface, graphics windows, and tabbed and dockable panes. ...
