3 WS2-3 PAT301, Workshop 2, October 2003 Problem Description u This is a simple exercise that involves the simulation of the deformation of a cantilevered plate due to the application of an end load. The exercise involves 1) creation of a flat surface, 2) meshing the surface with quad plate elements, 3) creating a load and constraints, 4) specifying the material as Aluminum and the elements as plate bending and membrane elements, 5) running a linear static simulation, and 6) viewing some results.

4 WS2-4 PAT301, Workshop 2, October 2003 Suggested Exercise Steps 1. Start MSC.Patran and create a new database cantilevered plate.db. 2. Create geometry of the plate using a surface. 3. Mesh the surface using Quad4 elements. 4. Apply a force at free end of the plate 5. Create a constraint at opposite end from force, fixing all six degrees of freedom. 6. Create an aluminum material with Elastic Modulus of 10e6 and Poisson ratio of Assign aluminum as the property of the plate with a thickness of 0.1 inch. 8. Verify all Loads and BCs to make sure that they are all selected. 9. Run a linear static analysis of the model. 10. Read results by attaching the.xdb file. 11. Plot the results by creating a Quick Plot.
