Linear Static

PAT301: Computer-Based Modeling for Design and Analysis with

MSC/PATRAN

Analysis Set-up of a Static Analysis reviews all the steps necessary to

build an analysis model, and understand how to setup a static analysis
with MSC/PATRAN.

PAT302: MSC/PATRAN for Advanced Users

Freebody Analysis of a Truss creates the geometry for a simple truss and
perform a freebody analysis on the truss.

PAT322: Advanced Engineering Analysis with MSC/PATRAN Advanced

FEA

Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of a Cantilever Beam presents the

concepts and limitations of linear and nonlinear analysis. Perform and
compare small and large displacement analyses on a cantilever beam
model.

Element Selection Study re-runs the cantilever beam you analyzed in

Lesson 1 with different Finite Elements. You will study the effectiveness
of various 1-D, 2-D and 3-D elements in linear as well as non-linear
analysis.

Linear Bifurcation Buckling Analysis of Thin Plate: A thin plate is

modeled under a static load that exceeds the critical load. Perform a
bifurcation buckling analysis.

Transient Response of a Rocket develops a finite element model that

represents an axial force (thrust) applied to a rocket over time. Perform
a linear transient analysis of the model and compare results to analytic
calculations.
