Femap with NX Nastran For Marine
We created this webinar for one of our marine customers. It covers how to spread loads on your model using data surfaces through the Data Surface Editor.
You'll learn:
- What is load spreading?
- How external data, such as a pressure map, can be imported into FEMAP and applied to your model as a pressure load.
- How pressure plots can be made to compare to the external data.
- Performing load summation to show how well the loads match the provided data.
