Approaches to Laminate Buckling with Simcenter

Approaches to Laminate Buckling with Simcenter

Quick Overview Although it is well known that Simcenter supports linear buckling solutions (SOL 105), some engineers are reluctant to use this method for composite laminate, based on the perception that the linear buckling analysis does not adequately account for the...
How to optimize a laminate in Simcenter

How to optimize a laminate in Simcenter

Quick Overview Simcenter Laminate Composites (LC) allows you to optimize the fundamental properties of a laminate coupon- for example, increasing its modulus in the X direction, minimizing its mass or its thermal expansion- by modifying ply angles, ply thickness, ply...
How to validate the distribution of 2D element thickness in NX

How to validate the distribution of 2D element thickness in NX

Quick Overview NX Advanced Simulation provides several methods to define the thickness of 2D elements, such as derived from a mid-surface, assigned through Element Associated Data or from a physical property table. It is helpful to validate the thickness definition...
How to create NX CAD geometry from a FEM part

How to create NX CAD geometry from a FEM part

Quick OverviewThere are many situations that require modifying a feature in a FEM model, for example, changing the diameter of a hole, introducing a notch in a model, etc. However, all these changes require the CAD geometry to be available, which might not always be...
