How would I do a buckling analysis with an additional fixed known lateral force?

I am using Nastran for buckling analysis, and I'm new to all of this so please bear with me. For a linear buckling analysis, I understand that you must first apply any compressive load in the static …

For arc-length method in nastran, how to analyse post-buckling behaviour with load decrease

I am currently trying to model the buckling behaviour of a cylinder using sol 400 nonlinear static analysis using Nastran. I am using the arc-length (modified Riks) method as apparently it can increme …

In a nonlinear static two-step subcase, why does the load step decrease after the first step?

I am using MSC Nastran for nonlinear static analysis (sol 400). Step 1 contains a small perturbation load laterally on a thin-walled cylinder. Step 2 contains a very large compressive load. Usual …

Free pre-processor for Nastran?

I want to do a non-linear analysis (possibly SOL 400) on Nastran. I used PyNastran (python module) to set-up the BDF file for a Linear buckling analysis (sol 105). However I feel like it might be too …
