HyperSizer NASTRAN Interface - Advanced Ringframe Modeling

(1/1)

Phil:
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
