Workshop Objectives
Create a model of a plate with two types of stiffeners. For one type of stiffener the cross-section properties, e.g. area, are provided. For the other type of stiffener the MSC.Patran Beam Library is used to obtain the cross-section properties. The model is finished, i.e. create constraints and pressure loading. An analysis of the model is performed, and the results viewed using MSC.Nastran and MSC.patran.
Problem Description
Show the stress for the plate or beam elements on the deformed shape of the model All material: Aluminum with E = 10 x 106 psi and = 0.3 Pressure on piston = 5 psi
