Challenge ~4 min · ~10 min remaining

Summary and evidence

Keep the script, audit listings, and load-contract CSV.

Evidence of learning

  • m05_bc_audit.csv with passes=1.
  • The extracts from DLIST and FLIST.
  • A screenshot of the constraint and load symbols.
  • The CSV of the challenge with the same total force and 15 nodes loaded.
  • The diagnosis of the five defects.

Exit checklist

  • ☐ My components are created before applying conditions.
  • ☐ I check that the regions are non-empty and disjoint.
  • ☐ I distinguish total force and force per node.
  • ☐ I restore the selection after each application.
  • ☐ I do not confuse CSYS, nodal system, DSYS and RSYS.
  • ☐ I read and sum the loads stored throughout the model.
  • ☐ My script ends without ANTYPE, SOLVE, /POST1 or FSUM.

Technical traceability

The lesson uses Basic Analysis Guide for the definition of boundary conditions and Command Reference 2024 R1 for D, F, SF, DLIST, FLIST, NDNEXT, *GET, CSYS, DSYS and RSYS.

Next step: M06

We have already demonstrated which loads and constraints enter the analysis. In M06 we will define a static analysis, solve it, and compare the applied forces with the reactions to close the global equilibrium audit.
