3. Workshop 4-3 NAS101 Workshops Copyright  2001 MSC.Software Corporation Workshop 4 - Coordinate Systems and Constraints 1.Using the truss model from Workshop 3, change the constraints and add a fourth loading condition. 2.The new constraints will be a “roller” constraint along a 45 degree surface at the right edge (GRID point 7) 3.In the additional loading condition: a.Apply a displacement of.05 units normal to the sloped surface b.Apply no other loads for this loading condition 4.In order to do this, we will need to define a “displacement” coordinate system (CORD2R 100) for GRID 7 CORD2R,100,,576.,0.,0.,576.,0.,1.,577.,1.,0.

6. Workshop 4-6 NAS101 Workshops Copyright  2001 MSC.Software Corporation n Suggested Exercise Steps: 1. Copy previous PATRAN workshop db file:w3.db to another name called w4.db 2. Open the PATRAN database and bring in the w4.db 3. Create a new coordinate system, and let GRID 7 uses this coordinate system as for the analysis frame. 4. Create a new loadcase in PATRAN, (fourth loadcase) is called enforced_disp,copy all the boundary conditions from the first loadcase to enforced_disp except the force loading. 5. Create enforced displacement load in the new loadcase 6. Submit the model to MSC.Nastran for analysis. 7. Post-Process results using MSC.Patran.
