SimAcademy Webinar Series: How to Validate a CMS External Superelement
MSC Nastran allows for the creation of a reduced, matrix-based representation of a Finite Element Model. This reduced representation is referred to as a Superelement. When creating a Component Modal Synthesis version of the Superelement, there are 3 main considerations: What DOF go on the boundary, Should those boundary DOF be fixed or free, and How many component modes to retain This presentation will focus on how to validate that the reduced model represented by the Superelement appropriately represents the unreduced component. A particular form of Superelements, External Superelements, will be used.
