Geometry, loads and boundary conditions

 

Two articles in Digital Engineering magazine describe FEMAP with NX/Nastran,  by building a tie rod analysis model. This is the first of two lessons which expand on those articles.

Here are the geometry files to use if you want to build this model. Click to download:
