Chapter
This guide contains verication test cases for NX Nastran. These test cases verify the function of the different NX Nastran analysis types using theoretical and benchmark solutions from well-known engineering test cases. Each test case contains test case data and information, such as element type and material properties, results, and references. The guide contains test cases for: Linear Statics verication using theoretical solutions Linear Statics verication using standard NAFEMS benchmarks Normal Mode Dynamics verication using theoretical solutions Normal Mode Dynamics verication using standard NAFEMS benchmarks Verication Test Cases from the Societe Francaise des Mecaniciens Material Nonlinear (Plasticity) verication using standard NAFEMS benchmarks (NX Nastran only) Geometric Nonlinear verication using standard NAFEMS benchmarks

Chapter
All verication test cases are available as *.dat les and are included in the NX Nastran installation in the directory path install_dir/NXr/nast/demo. The test cases are relatively simple, and most have closed-form theoretical solutions. Differences between nite element and theoretical solutions are in most cases negligible. Some tests would require an innite number of elements to achieve an exact solution. Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times. Actual results from NX Nastran may vary insignicantly from the results presented in this document. This variation is generally due to different methods of performing real number algorithms on different systems.

Chapter
The purpose of these linear statics test cases is to verify the function of the NX Nastran software using theoretical solutions. The test cases are relatively simple in form and most of them have closed-form theoretical solutions. The theoretical solutions shown in these examples are from well-known engineering texts. For each test case, a specic reference is cited. All theoretical reference texts are listed at the end of this topic. The nite element method is very exible in the types of physical problems represented. The verication tests provided are not exhaustive in exploring all possible problems, but represent common types of applications. This overview provides information on the following: Understanding the test case format Understanding comparisons with theoretical solutions References

Chapter 3
In addition to these example problems, test cases from NAFEMS (National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, National Engineering Laboratory, Glasgow, U.K.) have been executed. Results for these test cases can be found in the next section, Linear Statics Analysis Verication Using NAFEMS Standard Benchmarks.
3.2
While differences in nite element and theoretical results are, in most cases, negligible, some tests would require an innite number of elements to achieve the exact solution. Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times. Results reported here are results which you can compare to the referenced theoretical solution. Other results available from the analyses are not reported here. Results for both theoretical and nite element solutions are carried out with the same signicant digits of accuracy. The closed-form theoretical solution may have restrictions, such as rigid connections, that do not exist in the real world. These limiting restrictions are not necessary for the nite element model, but are used for comparison purposes. Verication to real world problems is more difcult but should be done when possible. The actual results from the NX Nastran software may vary insignicantly from the results presented in this document. This variation is due to different methods of performing real numerical arithmetic on different systems. In addition, it is due to changes in element formulations which have been made to improve results under certain circumstances.

The purpose of these linear statics test cases is to verify the function of NX Nastran using standard benchmarks published by NAFEMS (National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, National Engineering Laboratory, Glasgow, U.K.). These standard benchmark tests were created by NAFEMS to stretch the limits of the nite elements in commercial software. All results obtained using NX Nastran compare favorably with other commercial nite element analysis software.

Chapter
The purpose of these normal mode dynamics test cases is to verify the function of NX Nastran using theoretical solutions. The test cases are relatively simple in form and most of them have closed-form theoretical solutions. The theoretical solutions shown in these examples are from well known engineering texts. For each test case, a specic reference is cited. All theoretical reference texts are listed at the end of this topic. The nite element method is very exible in the types of physical problems represented. The verication tests provided are not exhaustive in exploring all possible problems, but represent common types of applications. This overview provides information on the following: Understanding the test case format Understanding comparisons with theoretical solutions References

7.2
While differences in nite element and theoretical results are, in most cases, negligible, some tests would require an innite number of elements to achieve the exact solution. Elements are chosen to achieve reasonable engineering accuracy with reasonable computing times. Results reported here are results which you can compare to the referenced theoretical solution. Other results available from the analyses are not reported here. Results for both theoretical and nite element solutions are carried out with the same signicant digits of accuracy. The closed-form theoretical solution may have restrictions, such as rigid connections, that do not exist in the real world. These limiting restrictions are not necessary for the nite element model, but are used for comparison purposes. Verication to real world problems is more difcult but should be done when possible. The actual results from NX Nastran may vary insignicantly from the results presented in this document. This variation is due to different methods of performing real numerical arithmetic on different systems. In addition, it is due to changes in element formulations which have been made to improve results under certain circumstances.

The purpose of these normal mode dynamics test cases is to verify the function of NX Nastran using standard benchmarks published by NAFEMS (National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards, National Engineering Laboratory, Glasgow, U.K.). These standard benchmark tests were created by NAFEMS to stretch the limits of the nite elements in commercial software. All results obtained using NX Nastran compare favorably with other commercial nite element analysis software. Results of these test cases using other commercial nite element analysis software programs are available from NAFEMS.

21 Overview of the Material Nonlinear (Plasticity) Verication Using NAFEMS Test Cases
The purpose of this section is to verify the accuracy and robustness of NX Nastran. The plasticity verication uses test cases published by the National Agency for Finite Element Methods and Standards (NAFEMS) in Fundamental Tests for Two and Three Dimensional, Small Strain, Elastoplastic Finite Element Analysis. (See Reference.) To perform the tests, input data is applied to single elements including plane strain elements, plane stress elements, axisymmetric solid elements, and solid elements. Results are tabulated and compared to results published by NAFEMS. The plasticity verication includes perfect plasticity and isotropic hardening tests. Within these categories, results for uniaxial, biaxial, and triaxial displacement tests are provided.
21.1
The format for the nonlinear section of the Solver Verication document looks somewhat different from the linear section. Each test case in this section provides a brief description of the test including input data. The results are then displayed in the form of a graph comparing NX Nastran Nonlinear results published by NAFEMS for the same test case.
