During preprocessing, the latest 2023 version of Femap allows element addition and/or removal when using Simcenter Nastran’s multi-step structural solution sequence, SOL 401. Two types of Element Add/Remove entities, ELAR and ELAR2, that can use time, inelastic strain, or mechanical strain as criteria to add and remove elements can be created, as can sets which reference multiple Add/Remove Entities (ELARADD). Watch the video above for an overview on this latest capability.
