Multi Step Structural Nonlinear Solution in Femap Hows and whys of Nastran SOL401

Multi-Step Structural Nonlinear Solution in Femap: Hows and whys of Nastran SOL401 Originally presented on August 13th, this webinar features an informative discussion on Nastran SOL401. Applied CAx, founder Dr. George Laird, and Applied Senior Application Engineer Dr. Maysam Kiani walk you through SOL401 and give multiple demonstrations to illustrate how it works in real-life scenarios. What they cover: Nonlinear solutions in Nastran Solution 401 setup in Femap Demo 1: “baby step” example – water tank Demo 2: SOL401 static vs. transient convergence – cantilever beam Presented by: George Laird, PhD, PE, Principal Mechanical Engineer and Founder, Applied CAx Maysam Kiani, PhD, PE, PMP, PMI-RMP, Senior Application Engineer, Applied CAx 00:00 Introduction 00:22 Applied CAx introduction 00:47 Maysam Kiani’s background 01:06 George Laird’s background 02:26 Seminar outline 02:50 Introduction 03:29 Solution comparison in Simcenter Nastran 04:09 Solution 401 setup in Nastran 04:44 Demo 1: “baby step” example – water tank 08:11 Demo 2: solution 401 transient – cantilever 16:58 Concluding remarks 18:50 Q&A
