HV SETS automation for HyperView TCL/HWC scripting.
My point of reference is for Nastran Bulks and OP2. Situation For example if you have defined a Element set "set_cs" in the case control section in the master bulk with an ID =6. Once the model and results are loaded in the HyperView, you'll see first 5 sets automatically created. #Name Type ID 0D Set Components 1 1D Set…

[EDEM] CUDA GPU Error
EDEM failed to load: CUDA Error nvcuda.dll This may mean that there is no NVIDlA driver installed on your system. EDEM could not detect a supported NVIDIA driver on the system. This may be because there is no NVIDlA driver installed or because the installed version is too old. Note that there is no need to install the CUDA…

Symmetry plane
Hello, I’m encountering an issue while trying to create the symmetry of my half fuselage. The model was built using a reference coordinate system. I then define a symmetry plane by selecting points on the open face of the fuselage. However, when I mirror the fuselage, the two surfaces do not merge properly and there is a…

Rotor / hub meshing best practise
Hello, What are the best practices for modeling the rotor hub–blade connection in transient simulations? Should a gap be introduced between the blades and the hub? Is it preferable to remove the hub entirely? Or should a gap be defined between the hub and the fixed geometry while allowing the hub to rotate? Thanks !
