Workshop 9 Dune Buggy Frame Structure - Vertically Supported With Springs

WORKSHOP 9
DUNE BUGGY FRAME

STRUCTURE VERTICALLY
SUPPORTED WITH SPRINGS
NAS 101, Workshop 9, March 2007

Copyright 2007 MSC.Software Corporation
WS9-1
Workshop Objectives:
Run a linear static analysis with springs supporting a structure.
Software Version:
MD Nastran 2007r2
MD Patran 2006r2

WS9-2
Key Concepts and Steps:

1. Input File: Modify an existing MD Nastran input file to add
additional grid points and spring elements.
2. Grids: Create additional grid points coincident with the grids of the
model to be constrained.
3. Elements: Create CBUSH elements to support the frame
structure
4. Properties: Create PBUSH properties for the springs.
5. Analysis: Solution Type = Nastran Linear Static, Solution
Sequence = 101
6. Examine Output Text File: Examine the Nastran output F06 file
7. Analysis: Access analysis results and model data by attaching the
XDB file to a Patran database
8. Results: Plot displacement results

WS9-3
For this workshop, let us represent the vertical supports on
the frame as springs

We will start with a copy of the model from Workshop 3
(3 loading conditions) which is titled wkshp9.bdf
Remove the constraint on GRIDs 1,7,21,26
Add additional GRID points (GRID 901-904) coincident to
GRIDs 1,7,21, and 26.
Constrain these new GRIDs to have 0.0 displacements
Connect GRIDs 1,7,21, 26 to GRID 901-904 with ydirection springs with a stiffness of 100 lb/in.

WS9-4
Below is the entry for the GRID coincident with GRID 1:

GRID

Repeat this for GRIDs coincident with GRIDs 7, 21, and 26

Below is the CBUSH element at GRID 1:
CBUSH,100,100,1,901,,,,0
Repeat this for CBUSH elements at GRIDs 7, 21, and 26

The PBUSH entry specifies the spring properties
PBUSH,100,K,0.,100.
An additional SPC1 entry must be specified to constrain
the newly created grid points.
