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...
Polygon Bodies and Mirroring in NX Post

Polygon Bodies and Mirroring in NX Post

Description This Tips & Trick shows how to display polygon bodies together with results in the NX post-processor. It also shows how to activate Mirror Display. We will explore these functionalities on a Battle Droid model, on which a modal analysis was performed....
How to optimize the stiffness of sandwich structures

How to optimize the stiffness of sandwich structures

Finding optimal rigidity One common misunderstanding about sandwich structures leads many designers to overestimate overall stiffness or to stiffen sandwich structures in a less than optimal fashion. In this article, we expose the true behavior of sandwich structures...
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...
