WORKSHOP 15
Linear Static Analysis

of a Simply-Supported
Stiffened Plate
Objectives:
Create a geometric representation of a stiffened plate.
Use the geometry model to define a MSC.Nastran
analysis model comprised of CQUAD4 & CBAR
elements.
Prepare a MSC.Nastran input file for a Linear Static
analysis.
Visualize analysis results.
Understand the differences in PSHELL and PSHEAR.

WORKSHOP 15
Stiffened Plate (Sol 101)
Model Description:
Below is a finite element representation of the stiffened plate shown
on page 15-1. The plate is 0.2 inches thick; therefore, thin-shell theory
applies. I-beam stiffeners are mounted as shown. The structure is
simply supported at eight specified locations and a uniform pressure
of 2.0 psi is applied to the surface of the plate.
When MSC.Patran creates a 2D Shell for a plate, a PSHELL card is
created in MSC.Nastran with 3 MIDs. The first MID is the material
used to resist membrane (in plane) forces. The second MID is the
material used to resist bending forces (moments). The third MID is
the material used to resist transverse shear (normal) forces on the
elements. If any of these three materials are not supplied to
MSC.Nastran, the solver then does not allow that element to take any
forces in the corresponding directions. For the first example, we will
create a 2D Shell (PSHELL with all 3 MIDs given as same material).
We will look at the maximum forces and stresses in the bars and quad
elements, and also look at the maximum displacement.
Hint: Because the centroidal axes of the stiffeners do not coincide
with the mid-plane of the plate, you will need to account for this when
you define the element properties for the stiffeners.

Suggested Exercise Steps:

Open a new database.
Define a geometric representation of the stiffened plate
using a surface.
Define an analysis model by meshing the geometry model
with shell (CQUAD4) and bar (CBAR) elements.
Define material (MAT1) and element properties (PSHELL
and PBAR).
Verify XY-orientation and offset vectors for the bar
elements.
Define simply-supported boundary constraints (SPC1) and
apply a uniform pressure load to the plate (PLOAD2/
PLOAD4).
Use the load and boundary condition sets to define a
loadcase (SUBCASE).
Prepare the model for a Linear Static analysis (SOL 101 and
PARAMs).
Generate and submit input file for MSC.Nastran.
Post-process results.

Exercise Procedure:
1. Users who are not utilizing MSC.Patran for generating an input file
should go to Step 13, otherwise, proceed to Step 2.

6b. To represent the stiffeners, generate bar elements along the
longitudinal edges of the surfaces. There is no need to specify a Global
Edge Length since the mesher will utilize existing nodes generated
when you meshed the plate geometry with quad elements.
Note: The stiffener centroidal offsets are NOT taken into account
during the discretization step. These offsets are specified
when you define the Element Properties for the bar elements.

An input file called lesson15_a.bdf will be generated. This process
of translating your model into an input file is called the Forward
Translation. The Forward Translation is complete when the Heartbeat
turns green. MSC.Patran Users should proceed to Step 14.

Generating an input file for MSC.Nastran Users:

MSC.Nastran users can generate an input file using the data from
Table 15.1. The result should be similar to the output below.

Submit the input file to MSC.Nastran for analysis.

14a. To submit the MSC.Patran .bdf file for analysis, find an
available UNIX shell window. At the command prompt
enter: nastran lesson15_a.bdf scr=yes. Monitor the run
using the UNIX ps command.
14b. To submit the MSC.Nastran .dat file for analysis, find an
enter: nastran lesson15_a.dat scr=yes. Monitor the run
15. When the run is completed, edit the lesson15_a.f06 file and
search for the word FATAL. If no matches exist, search for
the word WARNING. Determine whether existing
WARNING messages indicate modeling errors.
