Recognizing BSURFS or SET command #31

Open upthenose opened 4 years ago

upthenose commented 4 years ago

Hi I have a .nas file with info regarding contact elements. Is there a way to transfer the glue contact command BSURFS (Nastran) to an equivalent element or node group in code aster. Vegapp ignores the command in the current version. Alternatively, please recommend a workaround to create node or element groups in code aster via Nastran mesh export file from which I can create contact conditions in the asterstudy module. Would highly appreciate your input. Staffan

Hi Staffan,

BSURF, SET1 and SET3 keywords are supported in the current development version, you can see them here: https://github.com/Alneos/vega/blob/master/Nastran/NastranParser.cpp#L1052 https://github.com/Alneos/vega/blob/master/Nastran/NastranParser.cpp#L3445

Using SET3 is probably the best way to go?

Other similar keywords are supported using Optistruct syntax.

All the best
