Autodesk Inventor Nastran 2021.1


Book Description

The Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) Nastran(R) 2021.1: Essentials learning guide instructs you in the use of the Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) Nastran(R) software. This learning guide was written using the 2021.1.0.407 build of the software. The software is a finite element analysis (FEA) tool that is embedded directly in the Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) software as an Add-In. It is powered by the Autodesk Nastran solver and offers simulation capabilities specifically tailored for designers and analysts as a tool for predicting the physical behavior of parts or assemblies under various boundary conditions. Through a hands-on, practice-intensive curriculum, students acquire the knowledge required to work in the Autodesk Inventor Nastran environment to setup and conduct FEA analyzes on part and assembly models. Topics Covered Activate and navigate the Autodesk Inventor Nastran environment to conduct FEA analyzes. Create, edit, and assign idealizations and materials (linear, nonlinear, and composites). Manage the creation, setup, and modification of analyses and subcases that are used to analyze both static and dynamic models. Specific analyses types that are covered in this learning guide include: Linear Static, Nonlinear Static, Nonlinear Transient Response, Normal Modes, Direct Frequency Response, Modal Frequency Response, Direct Transient Response, Modal Transient Response, Random Response and Shock/Response Spectrum. Create constraints with the required degrees of freedom and assign them to entities. Create loads that accurately represent the magnitude and location of the loads the model will experience in the working environment. Create Connector elements to simulate how a physical connector such as a rod, cable, spring, rigid body, or bolt will affect the model. Create Surface Contact elements to define contact between interacting components. Assign global and local mesh settings. Run an Autodesk Inventor Nastran analysis. Review and create result plots for analyzing the results. Prerequisites This learning guide assumes that you have Finite Element Analysis (FEA) knowledge, can interpret results, and in general, knows how a model should be setup for an analysis. This learning guide was written using the 2021.1.0.407 build of the software. The user-interface and workflow may vary if older or newer versions of the software are being used.




Up and Running with Autodesk Inventor Nastran 2020


Book Description

Welcome to the 2nd edition of Up and Running with Autodesk(R) Inventor(R) Nastran(R) 2020 - Simulation for Designers.Inventor Nastran 2020 is a very capable and comprehensive simulation program which covers a broad spectrum of analysis applications including, linear, thermal, buckling, non-linear and the list goes on. In this 2nd edition of the book I have added Fatigue Analysis in addition to updating content to account for the new features in Inventor Nastran 2020 initial release. This book has been written using actual design problems, all of which have greatly benefited from the use of simulation technology. For each design problem, I have attempted to explain the process of applying stress analysis using a straightforward, step by step approach, and have supported this approach with explanation and tips. At all times, I have tried to anticipate what questions a designer or development engineer would want to ask whilst he or she were performing the task using Inventor Nastran. The design problems have been carefully chosen to cover the core aspects and linear analysis capabilities of Inventor Nastran and their solutions are universal, so you should be able to apply the knowledge quickly to your own design problems with more confidence. Chapter 1 provides an overview of Inventor Nastran and the user interface and features so that you are well-grounded in core concepts and the software's strengths, limitations and work around. Each design problem illustrates a different unique approach and demonstrates different key aspects of the software, making it easier for you to pick and choose which design problem you want to cover first; therefore, having read chapter 1 it is not necessary to follow the rest of the book sequentially, Except Chapter 11 and 12.In this edition I have included two new chapters focusing around Fatigue Analysis. Chapter 11 provides an overview of Fatigue, including a hand calculation, and Chapter 12 goes through step by step guidance on how to perform Multi-Axial Fatigue analysis within Inventor Nastran. This book is primarily designed for self-paced learning by individuals but can also be used in an instructor-led classroom environment. I hope you will find this book enjoyable and at the same time very beneficial to you and your business. I will be very pleased to receive your feedback, to help me improve future editions.
