WS8-3 NAS122, Workshop 8, August 2005 Copyright 2005 MSC.Software Corporation n Problem Description u Using the Direct Method, determine the transient response due to a unit acceleration sine pulse of 250 Hz applied at the base in the Z- direction. Use a structural damping coefficient of g = 0.06 and convert this damping to equivalent viscous damping at 250Hz. u Below is a finite element representation of the flat plate. It also contains the loads and boundary constraints. DIRECT TRANSIENT RESPONSE WITH ENFORCED ACCELERATION

WS8-4 NAS122, Workshop 8, August 2005 Copyright 2005 MSC.Software Corporation DIRECT TRANSIENT RESPONSE WITH ENFORCED ACCELERATION n Suggested Exercise Steps 1. Import the model from Workshop 1a. 2. Create a non-spatial field for the acceleration load. 3. Create a time dependent load case. 4. Create the time dependent unit acceleration. 5. Modify the original constraints from the imported database. 6. Submit the model to MSC.Nastran for analysis. 7. Attach the.XDB results file. 8. Post Process results – create X vs Y graph of displacements.
