Simulation for Designers - Part 7

Safety Factor Plots

I frequently get told that safety factor plots results within Nastran In-CAD are not correct. The reason for this is that safety factor values...

Centroidal (Nodal) Results

Carrying on from the previous article I will continue discussing about centroidal results within Nastran In-CAD. Below is an example of...

Simulation for Designers - Part 5

Corner (Nodal) Results

Nastran In-CAD provides the ability to display stress results using either corner or centroidal results. It is important to note this does not...

Simulation for Designers - Part 4

Fringe Display Stress Plots

As mentioned in the previous article, based on best practice, there is a need to analyse results at least three times, to check whether...

Stress Singularities

Stress singularities are a major headache when analysing results as they considerably distort results! They are also a main cause for...

Never rely on one set of Analysis Results!

The only exception to this is displacements results. However, in most cases we are usually interested in stress results...
