Modeling
Element type must be consistent
Finer mesh near the stress gradient
Extremely fine mesh when forces to be applied near the stress
concentration areas such as fillets
Uniform change in stress between adjacent elements
Better aspect ratio

Common symptoms and their possible causes
Symptoms Causes
Excessive deflection, but
anticipate stress
Excessive deflection and
excessive stress
Internal discontinuity in stress and
deflection
Youngs modulus too low,
missing nodal constraints
Applied force too high,
nodal coordinates incorrect,
force applied at wrong nodes
Force applied at wrong nodes,
missing or double internal element
Prof .N. Siva Prasad, Indian Institute of Technology Madras
20. 20
Symptoms Causes
Discontinuity along boundary
Higher or lower frequency than
anticipated
-Static deflections, O.K.
-Static deflection not O.K.
Internal gap opening up in model
under load, stress discontinuity
Missing nodal constraint,
force applied at wrong node
Density incorrect
Youngs modulus incorrect
Improper nodal coupling

Dynamic analysis
Modal analysis - Natural frequency and mode shapes
Harmonic analysis - Forced response of system to a sinusoidal
forcing
Transient analysis - Forced response for non-harmonic loads
(impact, step or ramp forcing etc.)

Substructure
Rules for substructure
A substructure may be generated from individual elements or other
substructures
Master nodes to be retained to be identified
Nodal constraints will be retained in all subsequent uses of the
substructure
Along a substructure boundary that will be used for connection to
the rest of the global model, all nodes must be retained as master
nodes
Cost effective

23. 23
Guidelines for selection of dynamic degree of
freedom (DDOF)
No. of the DOF must be 2 times highest mode of interest
No. of reduced modes will be equal to the number of DDOF so that
only bottom half of the calculated modes should be considered
accurate
DDOF should be placed in areas of large mass and rigidity
DDOF should be distributed in such a way as to anticipate mode
shapes
DDOF be selected at each point of dynamic force application
DDOF must be used with gap elements
For plate type elements emphasise DDOF in out of plane direction
