Overview

This article aims at providing a methodology to setup a 2D-axisymetric Radioss simulation within HyperMesh.

This article includes:

• A full report describing the different keywords to be used, the meshing techniques, the BCS and contact definitions, the mass calculation and a usecase example.
• The ready-to-use usecase example.

Context

2D-axisymetric simulations are specific. The ask for dedicated element types, dedicated node coordinates, and dedicated keywords. Mass calculation also abide by dedicated rules.

Usage/Installation Instructions:

The usecase example model is a rad file that can be imported in HyperMesh and be run with Radioss v2024.
