MSC.Nastran/MSC.ADAMS Interface
ADAMS/Flex Support
Introduction
MSC.Nastran allows the use of residual structure only or any superelement or any part super
element to be used as a component for an ADAMS/Flex flexible body. Flexible body analysis,
including large rigid body motions, are available by combining the ADAMS/Flex formulation with
reduced flexible component dynamics provide by MSC.Nastran. This allows designers take a
component-level Finite Element Analysis and move its characteristic shapes to a system-level
motion study for improved design accuracy.
Typical applications are: Elasto-kinematic analysis of vehicular suspensions, engine crankshaftdrivetrain interaction, aircraft landing conditions, satellite panel deployment.
Benefits
The Nastran/ADAMS integration provides an easy method to move from a FE analysis to a system
analyses study by providing the direct generation within MSC.Nastran of the MSC.ADAMS
Modal Neutral File (MNF) required for the ADAMS/Flex solver.
The interface is initiated by the simple Nastran Case Control command ADAMSMNF
FLEXBODY=YES and the addition of a Bulk DTI,UNITS entry. The interface is applicable in
SOL 103, SOL 111, SOL112, or SOL 103 from a nonlinear SOL 106 restart using standard Nastran
PARAM,NMLOOP.
The user can easily define the flexible body attachment points in Nastran by either defining the
component as a superelement, in which case, the physical external (a-set) grids become the
attachment points; or for a residual only type model, using standard Nastran ASET Bulk entries to
define the attachment points.
If the component requires prestiffining which does not entail large deformation standard Nastran
Case Control STATSUB can be used in SOL 103, SOL 111, or SOL 112 to provide the required
loading.
For a component that will experience nonlinear deformation a standard SOL 106 run can be made
and then using standard PARAM,NMLOOP the component can be restarted into SOL 103 with
advantage that ASET Bulk entries can be used at restart time to define the attachment points.
The component modes determined by Nastran automatically represent a set of constraint modes for
boundary coordinates plus a truncated set of fixed-interface normal modes; this combination is
referred to as the Craig-Bampton modes. These modes, by default, are augmented by residual
flexibility modes to give a correct representation of spatial loads. The spatial loads may include
physical loads and inertia relief loads.
Theory
Basic Component Mode Equations
This section briefly describes the equations used in MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface.
In MSC.Nastran modal solutions, the physical nodal displacements
amplitudes { } by the relationship:
{ u } = [ ] { }
{u } are
related to modal
Eq.0-1
where [ ] is the matrix of mode shapes containing the Craig-Bampton modes and any residual
flexibility modes
The above transformation is then applied to the physical mass, stiffness, and load matrices. The
resulting matrices are then reduced to analysis size (a-set) matrices. For modal analysis, the a-set
consists of the modal amplitudes and the physical boundary grids external to a superelement or the
modal amplitudes and the physical grids defined using an ASET Bulk entry. The resulting form,
symbolically using the stiffness matrix as an example is:
T
[ Kaa ] = [ ga ] [ K gg] [ ga ]
Eq.0-2
with appropriate similar result for the mass and load matrices.
To isolate rigid body modes as well as any other mechanisms or poorly-conditioned modes and to
insure orthonormaliztion, an a-set eigenvalue problem is solved. This results in a new matrix of
shapes [ a ] where the may be equal or fewer than the initial a-set modes. The modal stiffness,
modal mass, and modal load a-set matrices are then transformed as:
for stiffness
T
[ K ] = [ a ] [ Kaa ][ a ]
Eq.0-3
for modal mass

T
[ M ] = [ a] [ M aa ] [ a]
and for modal loads
Eq.0-4
[ P ] = [ a ] [ Pa ]
Eq.0-5
Additionally, a diagonal matrix of a-set unit boundary displacements is formed and taken through
standard Nastran transformations up to g-set size. This matrix, say [ ga ] , is transformed as:
[ g] = [ ga ] [ a]
Eq.0-6
The above four orthonormal matrices and the physical mass matrix is then exported to ADAMS in
MNF format. The matrix [ g ] is also used to obtain stress and strain shapes.
Mass Invariant calculations
When executing the MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface, Nastran will export to ADAMS up to nine
mass invariants. Briefly, these invariants are obtained as follows:
The instantaneous location
{rp } of
a grid point p can be expressed as:
{ rp } = { x } + [ A ] {s p } + [ A ] {u p }
Eq.0-7
where
{ x } is the position vector from the origin of a ground reference frame to the origin of a reference
frame attached to the flexible body.
[ A]
is the direction cosine matrix between the ground reference and the reference frame attached
to the flexible body.
{ sp }
is the position vector from the origin of the reference frame attached to the flexible body to
the undeformed position of a grid point p. [ A ]{ sp } are the components of { sp } in the ground reference frame.
{ up }
is the translational deformation of the grid point p in the reference frame attached to the flexible body. [ A ] { up } are the components in the ground reference frame.
The velocity
{v p }
is defined as
{ vp } = { x } + [ A ]( s p + up ) + [ A ] {u p }
Eq.0-8
Since the columns of [ A ] are unit vectors along the coordinate axes of the reference frame
attached to the flexible body, we can use the angular velocity { } of the reference frame attached
to the flexible body relative to the ground reference to determine [ A ] . We get, expressing the
results in a body fixed system:
[ A ] = [ A] [ ]
Eq.0-9
where
]
[
is a skew symmetric matrix containing the components of the angular velocity.
The generalized coordinates of the flexible body are defined as

{ x}
{} = {}
{ q}
Eq.0-10
where { } is a body fixed 3-1-3 set of Euler angles, { q } is the vector of modal coordinates used to
define the generalized coordinates of the flexible body, and { x } is defined above.
Then
{ }
can be defined as:

[ ] = [ B] { }
where
[ B]
Eq.0-11
is the matrix of sines and cosines representing the Euler angles.
We can define the following transformations:

[ up ] = [ p ] {q }
Eq.0-12
[ up ] = [ p ] {q }
Eq.0-13
[ p ] = [ B] { } + [ p ] { q }
Eq.0-14
where [ p ] is the partitioned orthogonal modal matrix that corresponds to the translational degrees
of freedom of grid p and [ p ] is the partitioned orthogonal modal matrix that corresponds to the
rotational degrees of freedom of grid p.
Then the velocity
{ v p}
can be expressed as:

{ v p } = I AX B A { }
p
Eq.0-15
[ X ] = [ s p ] + [ u p ]
Eq.0-16
where
is a skew symmetric matrix of coordinate locations and translations.

The kinetic energy of the flexible body is then approximated by the relationship
T = 1-- mp v p { v p } + 1-- p I p { p }
2 p
2 p
Eq.0-17
where
represent a row matrix and
Ip
is the inertia tensor of grid p.
It is this approximation to the kinetic energy and the need to keep the [ A ] matrix out of the mass
invariant calculations that currently restricts the MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface analysis to a
lumped mass formulation.
Expanding the relationship for kinetic energy, we obtain the following nine mass invarients:

Inputs
If Nastran/ADAMS interface is desired, only two unique entries are required. They are:
Case Control unique to ADAMS/Flex interface
ADAMSMNF FLEXBODY=YES which causes the ADAMS/Flex MNF to be generated.
Bulk Data entries unique to ADAMS/Flex interface
DTI,UNITS used to specify the unit system to be used by ADAMS/Flex.
Typical File Management for ADAMS/Flex interface
ASSIGN MASTER=location_of_106_databas - used in a SOL 103, SOL 111, or SOL 112

run to locate the SOL 106 data base for restart.
RESTART - used in a modal solution to indicate that run is a restart for a SOL
106 run. This is a standard MSC.Nastran restart.

included in the MNF
SUPORT1=seid - necessary to select a static support set for a residual only linear preload run
SPCF(PLOT) = ALL - necessary with preload to insure complete preload reaction condition is
to be included in the MNF

SEQSET1).
SENQSET,SEID,N - used to define modal amplitudes of a part super element. Must reside in

Outputs
Outputs unique to the MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface run is the MNF for export to the ADAMS/
Flex run and if ADMOUT=YES on the ADAMSMNF Case Control, the op2 file described on the
ADAMSMNF Case Control entry description.
Guidelines and Limitations

The following guide lines are associated with the capability:
1. There is no particular advantage over each other of using superelements or a residual
only type run. The distinction is that superelements require a superelement license.
2. Lumped mass formulation (default) is required. Either leave PARAM,COUPMASS out
of the input file or supply PARAM,COUPMASS,-1 (default) to insure lumped mass.
3. p-elements are not allowed as they are always coupled mass formulation.
4. If for preload conditions a simple static support system and a self equilibrating load can
be used, the SPCF(PLOT) and MPCF(PLOT) statements are not required.
5. For nonlinear SOL 106 runs, if the MATS1 entry is included, an incremental approach
between MSC.Nastran and ADAMS/Flex should be adopted because of the path
dependent load history.
6. For a standard Nastran restart (using RESTART file management command) from a
SOL 106 (nonlinear) in to SOL 103 (modal with MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface) the
SPOINTS must be in the SOL 106 run and the associated QSET1s must be in the SOL
103 run
7. If a user has legacy SOL 106 runs or forgets to put the SPOINTs in the SOL 106 run, the
SPOINTS and associated QSET1s can be placed in the modal run which then must use
a nonstandard restart using the DBLOCATE file management command. The command
must contain the following six data block: bulk, estnl, ugni, qgni, qmgni, pgni. The
command must also have a dbname that corresponds to the dbname on the ASSIGN
command. The command takes the form:
dblocate datablk=(bulk,estnl,ugni,qgni,qmgni,pgni) where (version=1),
logi=dbname
8. When restarting with a RESTART or DBLOCATE commands from a SOL 106 run into a
modal run (SOL 103, SOL 111, SOL 112) the first SUBCASE in the modal run must contain the LOAD= entry that reflects the load condition of the chosen converged nonlinear
solution. Other SUBCASES with their own load conditions may follow the first SUBCASE to
be used for generation of modal load shapes. This is required for both labeling reasons and
proper column alignment.

The basic model is a square plate divided into a 10 x 10 mesh. The four corner points G RID _1
(.0,.0,.0), GRID_11 (0.,1.,0.), G RID_111 (1.,0.,0.), and G RID _121 (1.,1.,0.) are considered the
attachment points. The basic geometry, material, and loads are given by include files shown at the
end of the examples. The Case Control and Bulk entries shown in the examples try to highlight
features important to the interface run.
Ex:1 Component modeled as a superelement

This example represents a MSC.Nastran/ADAMS interface run with the component modeled as
superelement 200 as defined by the SESET bulk entries. Grids listed on this entry represent the
component, grids not listed (in this case GRID_1, GRID_11, GRID _111, and G RID _121) are exterior
to the superelement and are used as the attachment points for ADAMS.
The ADAMSMNF case control entry initiates the interface run with the required FLEXBODY=YES entry. Also include on this entry is the optional PSETID=7772 which provides a set
of PLOTEL elements whose grids are retained in the MNF and whose connectivity defines face
geometry for ADAMS display. The OUTPUT(PLOT) section is used to define the set of elements
for the PSETID. For this case, PLOTELs were used and these are defined at the end of the bulk
section.
Grid point stress and strain shapes are desired, thus the sequence of STRESS, STRAIN,
GPSTRESS, GPSTRAIN commands. The (PLOT) item suppresses output of these items to the
f06 file. The OUTPUT(POST) section is used to define the surface for the grid point stress and
strain requests.
The DTI,UNITS in the bulk section is required for the interface run. This defines the units to be
used by ADAMS/Flex.
Standard SUBCASE is used to define two pressure load conditions. No constraints are applied to
the component, hence the modal analysis will represent a free structure.
The PARAM,WTMASS is not recommended with interface runs and this is noted by explicitly
setting it to its default value of 1.
The PARAM,GRDPNT will cause the MSC.Nastran grid point weight generator (GPWG) to run
and display a summary of the mass properties of the model. Any physical grid location may be
chosen for the display purpose, however with the ADAMS interface if PARAM,GRDPNT is
present, GPWG will be run a second time always at the origin of the basic system and its results
will be used for mass invarients 1 I , 2 I , and 7I computations for MNF export.
The SPOINT and SEQSET1 bulk entries are used to define the component modes. These entries
must specify enough degrees of freedom or modal amplitudes to capture the shape of the component and residual flexibility for any loading conditions.

Ex:4 Component modeled as a superelement with preload

This example is the same as Ex:1, but since preload requires a static solution, the following additions are needed:
In each of the SUBCASEs that define the pressure loads, SPC=100 entries have been added to
supply static supports. Additionally, a SUBCASE 200 has been added, with SPC=100 and
LOAD=100 entries, to define the preload condition. This condition is defined by the FORCE 100
entries added to the bulk section. Also in the bulk section, SPC1 100 entries have been included to
supply a static support system at the attachment points.
A SUBCASE 300 has been included that identifies the preload condition with the STATSUB(PRELOAD)=200 entry. Note that this subcase contains no SPC entry, hence the modal analysis will represent a free - free solution.

Ex:5 Component modeled as a residual only run with preload

In each of the SUBCASEs that define the pressure loads, SUPORT1=100 entries have been added
to supply static supports. Additionally, a SUBCASE 200 has been added, with SUPORT1=100
and LOAD=100 entries, to define the preload condition. This condition is defined by the FORCE
100 entries added to the bulk section. Also in the bulk section, SUPORT1 100 entries have been
included to supply a static support system at the attachment points. This run requires the use of
SUPORT1 entries rather than SPC or SPC1 entries in order to avoid conflict between s-set points
defined via SPC or SPC1 and a-set points defined via the ASET1 entry.
A SUBCASE 300 has been included that identifies the preload condition with the STATSUB(PRELOAD)=200 entry. Note that this subcase contains no SUPORT1 entry, hence the
modal analysis will represent a free - free solution.

Ex:7a Nonlinear static analysis of Component for standard restart

This example represents a MSC.Nastran nonlinear SOL 106 run with the component a standard
residual structure.
SUBCASE 200 defines with SPC=100 and LOAD=100 entries, a preload condition or stiffening
load condition. This condition is defined by the FORCE 100 entries added to the bulk section.
Also in the bulk section, SPC1 100 entries have been included to supply a static support system at
the plate corner points; these will become the attachment points in the restart SOL 103 run.
NLPARM in case control selects the bulk entry NLPARM to define non linear parameters.
The PARAM,LGDISP,1 is required to turn on large displacement.
The SPCF(PLOT) = ALL generates forces of constraints. These will be used to form the total
reactive preload in SOL 103.
SPOINT entries are required to be in the nonlinear run. They have no effect on the nonlinear
solution but are place holders for the restart. The associated QSET1 entries must not appear in the
nonlinear run as they will cause SOL 106 to fail because by current definition in MSC.Nastran,
the q-set and a-set are synonyms and nonlinear requires a physical a-set.
When the job is submitted, SCR=NO must be invoked to insure that the data base is saved.

Ex:8b Nonlinear static analysis dblocate restart into SOL103

This example represents a restart for SOL 106 into SOL 103 to perform a MSC.Nastran/ADAMS
interface run with the component modeled as residual only structure. GRID_1, GRID_11,
GRID_111, and G RID _121 are to be used as the attachment points for ADAMS. This is accom-
plished by use of the ASET1 bulk entry which is inserted in this deck. The nonlinear run cannot
contain this ASET entry
Since the SOL 106 run did not contain SPOINT bulk data entries, the nonstandard restart is indicated by the presence of the ASSIGN MASTER and DBLOCATE file management commands in
the file management section of the MSC.Nastran input stream.
The PARAM,NMLOOP in case control selects the converged nonlinear solution to use for the
restart.
section.
used by ADAMS/Flex. This entry could have been placed in the SOL 106 run but it cannot be
placed in both because of standard MSC.Nastran restart requirements.
setting it to its default value of 1 in the SOL 106 run. Hence, it is not reinserted in the SOL 103
restart run.
The SPOINT and QSET1 bulk entries are used to define the component modes. The SPOINT
entry are placed in this restart run and is what causes the use of a DBLOCATE nonstandard restart
run. The QSET1 is required to be placed in the restart SOL 103 run. These entries must specify
enough degrees of freedom or modal amplitudes to capture the shape of the component and residual flexibility for any loading conditions.
