■ Workshop Objectives Import a parasolid part Mesh the part using TET 4 elements Re-mesh the part using TET 10 elements Evaluate the averaged and un-averaged stress results NAS120,Workshop 10,January 2005 Copyright 2005 MSC.Software Corporation WS10-4 MSC SOFTWARE
WS10-4 NAS120, Workshop 10, January 2005 Copyright 2005 MSC.Software Corporation Workshop Objectives Import a parasolid part Mesh the part using TET 4 elements Re-mesh the part using TET 10 elements Evaluate the averaged and un-averaged stress results
Suggested Exercise Steps 1.Create a new database and name it bracket tet4.db 2.Import the parasolid part file support_bracket.xmt. 3.Mesh the part using TET4 elements.Use a global edge length of 0.375 in. 4.Create material and element properties. 5.Constrain the two cylindrical holes to react shear loads(x and y translations). 6.Constrain the back face to react z loads (z translation). 7.Apply 100 psi to the top bracket face. 8.Run the finite element analysis using MSC.Nastran 9.Plot displacements and stresses (averaged,un-averaged,and difference). 10.File save a copy as bracket_tet10.db. 11.Close the database and open the bracket_tet10 database. 12.Delete the original results file. 13.Re-mesh the part with TET10 elements.Use a global edge length of 0.375 in. 14.Re-run the analysis. 1s.Attach the new results file to the database. 16.Plot displacements and stresses(averaged,un-averaged,and difference). 17.Compare the TET10 model results with the TET4 model results. 18.If time permits,re-mesh the model with TET10 elements using a global edge length of 0.125 and run the analysis.This finer mesh will generate more accurate stress results than the previous two models.
