! This is the test case that I came up with for doing a PSD stress analysis. ! The stresses are either too large or too small when plotted. How do you ! perform a basic PSD analysis and query the results? It is not clear at all ! in the structural manual or the VM manuals. There must be some material that ! is around that can outline the procedures and their basic underlying concepts. ! It would be most apprciated if you know of any reference materials that ! may use. PS: I would like to see a training course and schedule listing ! for future dates. ! ! THANKS! Jim Rinaldi ! rinaldi@asheville.kearfott.com ! (828) 686-3811 x307 !
