These test cases verify the funetion of the different NX Nastran analysis types using theoretical and benchmark solutions from well-known engineering test cases, Each test case contains test case data and information, such as element type and material properties, results, and references. The guide contains test cases for: © Linear Statics verification using theoretical solutions © Linear Statics verification using standard NAFEMS benchmarks © Normal Mode Dynamics verification using theoretical solutions * Normal Mode Dynamics verification using standard NAFEMS benchmarks * Verification Test Cases from the Societe Francaise des Mecaniciens © Material Nonlinear (Plasticity) verification using standard NAFEMS benchmarks (NX Nastran only) © Geometric Nonlinear verification using standard NAFEMS benchmarks N&Nastran 9 Verification Manual 4-4Chapter 2 Running the Test Cases All verification test cases are available as *.dat files and are included in the NX Nastran installation in the directory path install_dir/NXr/nast/demo, The test cases are relatively simple, and most have closed-form theoretical solutions, Differences, between finite element and theoretical solutions are in most cases negligible. Some tests would yequire an infinite number of elements to achieve an exact solution. Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times Note Actual results from NX Nastran may vary insignificantly from the results presented in this document, This variation is generally due to different methods of performing real number algorithms on different systems NM Nastran 9 Verification Manual 24Part II Linear Statics Verification Using Theoretical SolutionsChapter 3 Overview of Linear Statics Verification Using Theoretical Solutions The purpose of these linear statics test cases is to verify the function of the NX Nastran software using theoretical solutions The test cases are relatively simple in form and most of them have closed-form theoretical solutions The theoretical solutions shown in these examples are from well-known engineering texts For each test case, a specific reference is cited. All theoretical reference texts are listed at the end of this topic, The finite element method is very flexible in the types of physical problems represented. The verification tests provided are not exhaustive in exploring all possible problems, but represent common types of applications This overview provides information on the following: © Understanding the test case format © Understanding comparisons with theoretical solutions © References 3.1. Understanding the Test Case Format Each test case is structured with the following information. * Test case data and information: o Physical and material properties 0 Finite element modeling (modeling procedure or hints) o Units 0 Solution type o Element type 0 Boundary conditions (loads, restraints) © Results NN Nastran 9 Verification Manual 34Chapter3 Overview of Lincar Statics Verification Using Theoretical Solutions © References (text from which a closed-form or theoretical solution was taken) In addition to these example problems, test cases from NAFEMS (National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, National Engineering Laboratory, Glasgow, UIE) have been executed. Results for these test cases can be found in the next section, Linear Statics Analysis Verification Using NAFEMS Standard Benchmarks. 3.2 Understanding Comparisons with Theoretical Solutions While differences in finite element and theoretical results are, in most cases, negligible, some tests would require an infinite number of elements to achieve the exact solution, Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times. Results reported here are results which you can compare to the referenced theoretical solution. Other results available from the analyses are not reported here. Results for both theoretical and finite element solutions are carried out with the same significant digits of accuracy. The closed-form theoretical solution may have restrictions, such as rigid connections, that do not exist in the real world, These limiting restrictions are not necessary for the finite element model, but are used for comparison purposes. Verification to real world problems is more difficult but should be done when possible, The actual results from the NX Nastran software may vary insignificantly from the results presented in this document. This variation is due to different methods of performing real numerical arithmetic on different systems, In addition, it is due to changes in element formulations which have been made to improve results under certain circumstances, 3.3 References The following references have been used in the Linear Statics Analysis verification problems presented: 1.

These standard benchmark tests were created by NAFEMS to stretch the limits of the finite elements in commercial software. All results obtained using NX Nastran compare favorably with other commercial finite element analysis software. 5.1 Understanding the Test Case Format Each test case is structured with the following information: * Test case data and information o Physical and material properties 0 Finite element modeling (modeling procedure or hints) o Units 0 Finite element modeling information © Boundary conditions (loads and restraints) 0 Solution type * Results © Reference 5.2 Reference ‘The following reference has been used in these test cases: NAFEMS Finite Element Methods & Standards, The Standard NAFEMS Benchmarks.

All theoretical reference texts are listed at the end of this topic, The finite element method is very flexible in the types of physical problems represented. The verification tests provided are not exhaustive in exploring all possible problems, but represent common types of applications This overview provides information on the following: © Understanding the test case format © Understanding comparisons with theoretical solutions © References 7.1 Understanding the Test Case Format Each test case is structured with the following information. * Test case data and information: o Physical and material properties 0 Finite element modeling (modeling procedure or hints) o Units 0 Solution type 0 Boundary conditions (loads and restraints/constraints) * Results © Reference NN Nastran 9 Verification Mamual 7-4Chapter? Overview of Normal Mode Dynamics Verification Using Theoretical Solutions Theoretical Solutions 7.2 Understanding Comparisons While differences in finite element and theoretical results are, in most cases, negligible, some tests would require an infinite number of elements to achieve the exact solution, Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times. Results reported here are results which you can compare to the referenced theoretical solution. Other results available from the analyses are not reported here. Results for both theoretical and finite element solutions are carried out with the same significant digits of accuracy. The closed-form theoretical solution may have restrictions, such as rigid connections, that do not exist in the real world. These limiting restrictions are not necessary for the finite element model, but are used for comparison purposes. Verification to real world problems is more difficult but should be done when possible, The actual results from NX Nastran may vary insignificantly from the results presented in this document, This variation is due to different methods of performing real numerical arithmetic on different systems In addition, it is due to changes in element formulations which have been made to improve results under certain circumstances, 7.3 Reference The following references have been used in the normal mode dynamics analysis verification problems presented: 1.

These standard benchmark tests were created by NAFEMS to stretch the limits of the finite elements in commercial software. All results obtained using NX Nastran compare favorably with other commercial finite element analysis software, Results of these test cases using other commercial finite element analysis software programs are available from NAFEMS. 9.1 Understanding the Test Case Format Each test case is structured with the following information. * Test case data and information: o Units o Physical and material properties 0 Finite element modeling information 0 Boundary conditions (loads and restraints/constraints) 0 Solution type * Results © Reference 9.2 Reference The following reference has been used in these test cases: NAFEMS Finite Element Methods & Standards, Abbassian, F, Dawswell, D.
