Two-dimensional axial symmetry element CTRIAX6
1. Coordinate system
The CTRIAX6 element must be defined by the X-Z flat surface in NEiNASTRAN input data (X-Z corresponds to R-Z) .
Also in CADAS/PRE, define a model in the X-Z flat surface.
When doing so, an error occurs during solver execution if the Y coordinate value for all nodes is not 0.0
(No errors are accepted. Use the CADAS/PRE CORDFIT command to clear the values to 0).
For other solvers, all vales are defined by X – Y (X = R, Y = Z). Therefore, the coordinate system of data created for other solvers must be rotated.
2. Element attributes
The CTRIAX6 element refers the MAT number directory without using properties, such as PSHELL.
Only linear material can be used for material models (Translator does not check).

3. Load
The member distributed load functionality is not supported. If it is used, an error message is output during translation.
When it is required, use CADAS/PRE NPLOGEN to define it as the node load.
The node concentrated load functionality defines the load value per radian for CADAS/PRE (common to other solvers).
For NEiNASTRAN, it is defined for the load of all circumferences, it is converted during translation (pi doubled).

 Contact pair definition Type 29 element
Use the LS-CONT command to set pairs for each group or substrike. Group 20
For contact attribute data for the LS-CONT command, the coefficient
of static friction is applied to the input data.
 Analysis type
Linear statics analysis - Contact conditions are analyzed as adhesion.
Nonlinear static analysis – When the contact analysis contact type Type 49 element
considering slides is “TI***”, convert it to adhesion. Group 100

・The analysis cannot be performed if there are parts that allow rigid
motion. Type 49 element

・ For non-linear analysis, boundary conditions for forced displacement
cannot be analyzed.
Forced displacement can be analyzed if dummy minute loads are
applied.
- Restrictions of NEiNASTRAN. From version 9.2, dummy loads are
not needed.
 Contact surface to high order solid elements

Use the NE-CONTC command to set pairs for each group. Contact types
Can be used with LS-CONTAC through contact surface definitions. 1. Symmetric General
 When ALL is selected as the contact pair, the entire model is subject to contact searching. Bidirectional general contact
 For the SYMMETRIC type contact, the master-slave order is arbitrary. 2. Symmetric Weld
 The contact range is determined by Maxad, therefore, the values must be selected carefully. Bidirectional welding contact
3. Symmetric Bi-Directional Sliding
Bidirectional sliding contact
4. Symmetric Rough
Bidirectional sparse contact
5. Offset Welded
Offset welding contact
For LS-CONTC settings except contact surface pairs,

the Tied type is converted to .Symmetric Weld, and
other contact types are all converted to Symmetric General.
 Initial penetration processing can be changed by SUBOPT-NENAS.
Corresponds directly to NEiNASTRAN PARAM.

PCG: DECOMPMETHOD = PCGLSS
Parallel sparse iteration solver
(Linear/non-linear static analysis)
For large-scale problems, faster than the VSS method.
VSS: Sparse direct solution (for all analysis types)

If the memory size is not sufficient, VSS tends
to slow down.
VIS: Sparse iteration solution (Except eigenvalue analysis)

When VIS is selected for eigenvalue analysis, solid
elements that use VSS are recommended for most
cases.
Under certain conditions, VIS is faster than VSS,
and uses less memory.
PSS: Parallel sparse direct solution (for all analysis types)

By parallelization, PSS is faster than VSS, but
consumes more memory.
AUTO: According to the memory size, the most suitable

solution is selected from the above options.
(*)
NASTRAN NPROCESSORS Default = 1
0 < NPROCESSORS ≦64
DECOMPMETHOD = PCGLSS is used for 2 or more.

3.5 Heat Transfer Analysis Considering Thermal Contact Conductance
 Definition of contact surface: Using the auto-contact function for structural analysis
Pair setting is made for each group by the NE-CONTC command.
Available together with LS-CONTAC by the definition of contact surface.
 When ALL is selected as a contact pair, entire model becomes a contact search target.
 Sequence of master and slave is free in the SYMMETRIC type contact.
 Values must be selected carefully because the contact range is determined by Maxad.
Heating element
Thermal resistance
For temperature analysis, specify the thermal contact conductance value (TCC).
(The same applies to LS-CONTAC.)
・In the CONTACTGENERATE input data, TCC is output to the SFACT position.
・In the BSCONP and BCONP input data, TCC is output as CTC.
・TCC is a constant value that cannot be a function of distance, contact pressure, etc.

Notes:
(1) Values in the shell element coordinate system. Element values only.
(2) Stress on each node of shell elements is handled as follows:
2.1 - Convert from an element coordinate system to a global coordinate system (See the initial form for the element coordinate system).
2.2 - Superpose global coordinate system stress on each node with a common node.
2.3 - Equalize superposed stresses.
(3) Both the element coordinate system and global coordinate system are calculated for shell element stress.
(4) When CORNER is specified, the intermediate node value is not output. Therefore, use the average value of both side corner nodes as the
intermediate node value.
(5) Equivalent plastic strain
With shell solid elements, values in the element center are converted as element values.
With shell solid elements, values in layer = TOP or BTM can be displayed. Note that the same value is set for TOP and BTM for solid elements.
(6) The SURFACE coordinate system is not used because the indefinite coordinate conversion exists.

5. Startup settings of NEiNASTRAN from CADAS/TRNS
(1) Setting path variables

Select [Control Panel] - [System] - [Advanced system settings] - [Environment Variables] - [System variables] - [Variable]
= PATH to add the startup path of NEiNASTRAN.
For default installation, add the following at the end of the PATH variable value.
;C:¥Program Files¥NEiNastran Engine V100
(2) Checking settings

After the above settings, open a new DOS command window, type as follows:
DOS> nastran “nast_run.bat”
nastran %1.nas
NEiNASTRAN VERSION XXXX echo off
If the above message appears, the path setting completes. del %1.RSF
del %1.GPS
del %1.GPF
(3) Creating a batch file
del %1.ELF
To automatically delete files which will become unnecessary after execution, del %1.ELS
create "nast_run.bat" under CADAS¥bin_win**. del %1.DIS
(4) Execution test - Name an input file mydata1.nas

DOS> nast_run mydata1
(5) Editing the cadas.cpx file

Search for lines of NENAST, and change them as follows:
NENAST :nast_run $I :$I

6. Using NEiNASTRAN from CADAS/TRNS
PRE - > Input data conversion

*.dat is set as the default input data file name,
but it is changed to *.nas after the conversion.
Perform NEiNASTRAN.
result-file*,O2d & *.FNO conversion

Any of the following can be specified as
the OUTPUTFILE name:
bbox (prefix only)
bbox.o2d
bbox.fno

7. NEiNASTRAN environment settings
(1) Make sure the two lines below exist in the cadas.cpx file. If they do not exist, add them.
CDS-NENAS :nenaspre
NENAS-CDS :nenaspst
(2) Save the conversion module in the same location as the CADAS load module.
Modules: nenaspre.exe, nenaspst.exe
(3) Execute the nenastran result file manually.

DOS> nenaspst –i result-file [–o output (POST binary) file]
Result file: When the analysis result is test.o2d, or test.fno, any one of test, test.o2d, and test.fno is specified.
Output file: By default, result-file.pst
