I would like to do a "substructuring" analysis of my component. We here use NASTRAN and Hypermesh.
As far as I understand, what we need to do is to run an analysis of the whole structure with a coarse mesh and then, from these results apply displacements/forces (preferably displacements) at the cut section nodes, also then to refine the mesh in the area of interest and solve. Without the original loads and constraints. Am i right?
Please tell me what other are the factors to be considered?
Can you pls guide me as how to do it, fast and automatically using NASTRAN and Hypermesh? It would be a pain to manually take the values from .f06 and do it.
