Additions to the NASTRAN User's Manual and Theoretical Manual for a Thermostructural Capability for NASTRAN Using Isoparametric Finite Elements
2007
Hurwitz, Myles M.
The report describes, through additions and modifications to the Level 15.1 NASTRAN user's and theoretical manuals, a thermostructural capability for NASTRAN. In addition to this new rigid format, a set of two-dimensional and three-dimensional isoparametric finite elements was added to NASTRAN's finite element library. The thermostructural capability consists of computing a temperature history of the structure, taking account of such thermal conditions as radiation, convection, flux, and heat generation, and then performing a series of structural static analyses, using as part of the static loading the equivalent loads due to the temperature distribution at times selected by the user. This version of NASTRAN is available for the UNIVAC 1108 and CDC 6000 computers.
