POST PROCESSING OF STRESS RESULTS
WS 4 - 2Mar120 - Patran Day 1 Overview - Results
Workshop 4 – Introduction to MSC.Patran
WS 4 - 3Mar120 - Patran Day 1 Overview - Results
Objectives To post-process stress results from MSC/NASTRAN. To use MSC/PATRAN to create fill and fringe plots to determine if
the analyzed part will meet a customer-defined criteria or whether the part needs to be re-designed and re-analyzed.
Workshop 4 – Introduction to MSC.Patran
WS 4 - 4Mar120 - Patran Day 1 Overview - Results
Model Description In this exercise, you will examine the stress results of the clevis model
analyzed using the MSC.Marc code by rendering a variety of fringe and element fill plots.
