TABLEMD in PBUSHT

Question

Guys, how it is possible that TABLEMD is not in HyperMesh 2026 GUI. I wanted to try assign TABLEMD to PBUSHT card so i will have temperature-depended CBUSH, and I could not find it.

Hello, Right click on the Model Browser>Create >Curves>TABLEMD

Then, you have to connect the curves to the PBUSHT properties in some textpad editor

You can follow the example below:

cbush_TABLEMD.fem

Thank you! But why can we select only TABLED# curves in PBUSHT, K-LINE, and TKNID1, but not TABLEMD? So the only way, as you suggested, is to create a placeholder using TABLED1 and then manually replace it with TABLEMD in the text editor? Is it planned to update in the next version… 2027?

-It will be possible in the next release of Hypermesh to add those curves from the GUI.

-Yes, this is an Optistruct card I think Msc Nastran doesn't have it

Ha! I tried tcl, and it works.

First, I created TABLEMD

set curve_num 2

*createsolverkeyword "TABLEMD" curves

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num include=0

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num name="curve_tablemd"

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num STATUS=2 10907=2

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num STATUS=2 10908=6

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num STATUS=2 10910={100 200 300 110 210 310}

*setvalue curves id=$curve_num STATUS=2 10909={{0.1 20}{0.2 20}{0.1 25}{0.2 25}{0.1 30}{0.2 30}}

and then attached this table to KN_Line in PBUSHT like this

*setvalue props id=2 STATUS=1 4331={curves 2}

Hypermesh created fem file with

PBUSH          2       K1200.0  50000.0 50000.0 50.0    50.0    50.0

PBUSHT         2      KN       2

TABLEMD        2               2

*      100.0     0.1    20.0
*      200.0     0.2    20.0
*      300.0     0.1    25.0
*      110.0     0.2    25.0
*      210.0     0.1    30.0
*      310.0     0.2    30.0

Nice! So… now we have CBUSH with properties depending on temperature! Wow!
