WORKSHOP 19
GLOBAL/LOCAL MODELING USING

FEM FIELDS

WS19-2
Problem Description
This exercise is used to demonstrate how to map displacement results from

the analysis of a global(overall) model onto the perimeter of a local(detail/
component of overall) model. The local model is used for an analysis to
obtain results for the detail/component.
The global model and its results are read into an MSC.Patran database. The
results are used in the creation of a vector FEM field.
The FEM field is used to map the global model displacement results onto the
local model perimeter. Also, a pressure load is applied to the local model. An
analysis of the local model is performed.
The displacement results for both global and local models are compared.
