Structural Flight Loads Simulation Capability. Volume II. Structural Analysis Computer Program User's Manual.
Abstract
A complete system for the modeling, analysis and post-analysis of wing structures utilizing finite elements in simulated flight loads testing has been developed. The preprocessor incorporated the MAGNA element types 3, 4 and 5 (2-D membrane, truss and thin shells) into three predefined wing class models and allows for the conversion of existing wing models to be analyzed by MAGNA. MAGNA is a very powerful and flexible material and geometrical nonlinear analysis program capable of solving a wide variety of finite element problems. Two postprocessors are coupled to the modeling and analysis of the wing structures to provide model geometry, stress or strain contour or relief displacement plots of the model and analysis results.
