A new training Powerpoint presentation has been uploaded to the HyperSizer Downloads.
The scope of the presentation:
- Semi-Advanced Topic: Meant for “final” sizing for a custom manufactured frame configuration rather than preliminary design. In preliminary design, we recommend single row of CBARs with HyperSizer built-in beam concept
- Two modeling approaches are presented:
- Option A: Preliminary Sizing: Less detail and accuracy is captured by using fewer elements while the overall sizing is more flexible
- Option B, Final Sizing: More detail and accuracy of the ringframe is captured using more elements, but less flexibility in the overall sizing
- Some topics covered here are related to FEM modeling of a specialty, custom ringframe and are not specific to HyperSizer
- Complexity of specifying beam orientation, grid ordering, normals, etc. are not specific to HyperSizer. These issues would need to be addressed for any analysis involving FEA.
- See detailed discussion for beam orientation in the HyperSizer Pro User’s Manual
