FEMAP: STRESS AROUND CIRCULAR HOLE USING SOLID ELEMENTS

You can download the FEMAP file from previous video (Stress around hole using shell elements) and follow the steps.

FEMAP: STRESS AROUND CIRCULAR HOLE USING SHELL ELEMENTS

SUPPORT FILES: https://emafd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/plate_hole_shell_elements.zip

When post-processing, the normal stresses in 2D elements are normally reported relative to the elemental coordinate systems (which may be different in each element). In order to show the stresses in a direction aligned with the global coordinate system, a transformation from elemental to global coordinate system is needed. This can be accomplished through: View menu > Select > Deformed and Contour Data… > Contour Transformation > Shell Element Output. This solved the customer’s issue.

FEMAP: MESHING AROUND HOLE USING SOLID ELEMENTS

Meshing around a hole using solid elements. Surface 2-D elements (plate) are created with adequate mesh and then extrude through the thickness of the plate generating 3-D elements (Solid).

FEMAP: Shear Effect Contribution in Cantilever Beam (K Factor)

Validation of FEMAP model of a cantilever beam with end load. Deformation is calculated considering bending and shear effects and FEMAP beam, plate, and solid models are developed.

Quick Note: Remember that in general plate/shell elements are not good in shear and solid elements are not good in bending for thin structures

FEMAP: RB2 to Connect Beam to Plate/Solid Elements

Validation and video of connecting beam elements to either plate or solid elements. RB2 add stiffness to the model so attention must be given to the amount of RB2 used when creating a connection.
