The following short video shows how to model and validates the maximum stress around a circular hole. SUPPORT FILES: https://emafd.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/plate_hole_shell_elements.zip
Read MoreFEMAP: 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). SUPPORTING FILE:
Read MoreFEMAP: 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…
Read MoreFEMAP: 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.
Read MoreFEMAP: Connection Between Solid and Plate Elements (Glue Connection)
Validation and a video are presented to show how to create a “Glued connection” in FEMAP to connect Solid elements to Plate/Shell Elements.
