HIRENASD Beam FEM

This contains attempts to create BEAM FEM model.

I have started a Blog to discuss this... please put your comments there and I will attempt to keep everything updated. Correspondence between A.B. and CDW is provided to assist in developing NASTRAN Beam FEM
(through July 1)(PDF)

The original data provided by Alexander is shown in model_input-extract.txt

Additional files loaded July 21, 2011:

  • Comparison of Wing Masses, and Lengths, and Mass calculated from provided densities, and lengths
  • Comparison of Model Masses and frequencies
  • Emails dealing with offsets for bending and center of mass (between Proctor and Wieseman)
  • Spreadsheet that contains element beam properties used for debugging
  • One element beam model to check beam stiffnesses
  • Email correspondence as of July 28, 2011 - includes a cursory check of the bending and center of mass locations.

    Below are frequencies with different permutations of

  • X1,X2,X3 definitions on CBEAM card
    A) - 1,0,0 or
    B) ca_0_nsa = cos(alpha),0,-sin(alpha) or
    C)nca_0_sa = -cos(alpha),0,sin(alpha) on the beam card
  • coordinate system (CCS) is converted from original
  • O1 indicates that offsets W1-W3 were included between the node and the shear center
  • nsm1 = beam density is unchanged and includes the non-structural mass
  • nsm2 = non-structural mass is separated from the beam mass density
  • nm = calculation of offset N1,N2 for beginning and end of each beam segment is performed - different ways depending on the index
  • modi = inertias provided by Boucke were modified by the alpha.
  • _k_ = kappa(K1,K2) were included in the model - values provided by Boucke (A.B.)
  • _k2_ = kappa(K1/K2) modified along with beam properties per equations provided by A.B.
