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...
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...
Demo Video: Quick Overview NX Laminate Composites (NXLC) allows you to easily define laminates, assign them to 2D or 3D meshes of complex geometries, and post-process composite failure metrics. For simple parts like test coupons, creating a FEM is not required, as...
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...
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...
