Modeling an Edge Grip

you should start then with Inspire. Do you know Inspire? For someone who never tried simulation, it would be a good starting point, and in the end, if needed you can go to HM+OptiStruct, as it already uses OptiStruct in the background.

Inspire has a few tutorials that walk you though the process.

Hello! Thank you for your answer! Please can you give me a link for some tutorials for inspire for that sort of structure?

I thank you again

You need to launch Inspire and go to the Tutorials option:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

There is also a specific section here in the forum for Inspire.

And there's this ebook.

If you are more a video person, there's youtube with some tutorials around.

Thank you for your help! but I don't have access to Inspire.

Can you give me some tutorial for Hypermesh?

Also is there some tutorial to optimize the design of a structural ceiling beam? that beam will be extruded?

Thank you for your precious help

Anyone that has access to HM could have access to Inspire by downloading it (commercial or student licenses). The licensing is the same.

I wouldn't suggest you to start from HM as your first model. But there are some videos on youtube and also tutorials in the help.

On my internship laptop I do not have it.. And after discussing with my teacher.. I have to use HM.

So please coould you give me some tips or tutorials links for calculating the optimal number of beams in a ceiling frame structure?

Thank you for your help
