Introduction
Problem: Creating system level models from component models
Component models may be from multiple sources/vendors
Conflicting numbering schemes (Grids, Elements, Properties, etc)
Conflicting coordinate systems (inconsistent use of Basic)
Creating multiple instances of a component from a single model
(copying, renumbering everything, requires model checking)
Maintaining documentation and heritage of component models
(references to grid & element numbers, comments in bulk data)
Model checkout and verification required after any changes
Solution: MSC Nastran External Superelements
Super tool for model assembly

Telescope assembly model:
Primary mirror (18 segments)
only 1 detailed segment model available; needed 18
130,000 grids and elements in 1 segment
numbering scheme conflicted with other component models
not intended for assembly into an assembly model
use of Basic coordinate system conflicted with other components

Superelements in Statics/Dynamics in MSC
Nastran
1) Conventional SE: all data in main bulk data
- Typically build all models into 1 database with no numbering conflicts.
- Must keep track of database versions, lots of bookkeeping
2) Manual K & M matrices:
- Reduce component to Kaa, Maa, Pa - punch matrix, or send to OP2
- Simple, clean, no database required; no internal SE output
3) Part SE:
- Merge models with conflicting Ids - use BEGIN SUPER
- Automatic joining, great for contractor models
4) External SE: (all advantages of Part SE)
- Process single SE per run - save database
- Can pass any extra internal SE output to residual run by OTM
- OTM = Output Transformation Matrix
8
MSC Nastran External Superelements
Advantages
Allows conflicting numbering schemes in components
Allows easy creation of multiple instancing
A single reduced SE can be copied in 18 times
Exception: for static loading orientation & magnitude reduce 18 times
Very simple database management
No need to keep detailed records like conventional SE
Smaller individual databases, not one large master database
Minimal changes to a vendor supplied component model
Maintain heritage of component model
Maintain Numbering, Comments in bulk data
Automated output using EXTSEOUT
Disadvantage
Need to chose SE output at reduction run for OTM
9
MSC Nastran External Superelements
Case Control required:
EXTSEOUT
Output requests for OTM (Output Transformation Matrices)
Include loading to match residual cases
Bulk Data required
ASET = Boundary points and any other grids passed to residual
(3 attach points per segment)

Creating an External Superelement
Single CASE CONTROL command

Format:

ASMBULK, EXTBULK, EXTID = seid,])]

Creating an External Superelement (cont)
My preferred use
EXTSEOUT(ASMBULK,EXTBULK,EXTID=10)
Creates a DBALL with K,M,B,K4,P (if they exist)
Nastran job scr=no (save database: job.master and job.dball)
Automatic Output Transformation Matrices (OTMs)
Based on Case Control command in Reduction run
DISP=nn or STRESS=nn (nn=set #)
Creates .asm file for assembly main bulk data (ASCII file)
Creates .pch file for assembly part bulk data (ASCII file)
12
External SE: New Case Control - contd
Definition: OTM = Output Transformation Matrix:
The contents of OTM are based on Case Control output requests
of SPCFORCE, DISPLACEMENT, STRESS and FORCE only. (NOTE
NO MPCF capability). This selection must be done during
reduction run to create OTM.
Example Case Control for SE reduction run:
Set 99 = 102,155
disp=99
Residual structure run
Subcase 10
super=10
set 99=102,155
disp=99
Create OTM in
Reduction run
Obtain SE output
in residual run

To place reduced SE
in each location, use
SECONCT to join

to residual grids
900jj01-3 where
jj = segment # = 01-18

Comments
In the previous example, all 18 segments are reduced individually
Inertial loads are position dependent, thus vary between SE
Requires separated reduction for each SE, with proper CORD system
All input files easily created from the first SE file by global
substitution
If the loads were identical in all segments, only 1 reduction reqd
Each segment uses the same reduced matrices
In the Residual run, each SE points at the same reduced SE database
In dynamic analysis, only 1 Craig-Bampton reduction required
Each segment uses the same reduced matrices
In the Residual run, each SE points at the same reduced SE database
20
Comments
Recent MSC Nastran enhancements useful in External SE
param,automset,yes
will automatically rearrange DOF in M-set to free up ASET DOF
example: RBE3 dependent DOF can be on ASET (no need for um )
param,autoqset,yes
will automatically create the proper number of SPOINTS and SEQSET for
Component Mode Synthesis
resvec (case control)
turn on residual flexibility in SE and/or Residual
21
Modeling Recommendations
1) Assume models will be incorporated into system level SE models
- Plan ahead: break-up, numbering scheme, coord-sys
2) Create self-contained component bulk data files
- Compact & consistent numbering scheme
- Reference everything back to single Local coordinate system
for easy re-positioning (do NOT use basic=0)
- Each component should be able to run as stand-alone
3) Join components with coincident grids and RBARs or CBUSH
- Place RBAR/CBUSH connectors in a separate file
- CBUSH allows model tuning and I/F force output
22
Conclusions
External SE: a SUPER tool for telescopes with segmented optics
Allows for easy assembly of models with incompatible numbering
Allows swapping of component models for easy updating / variations
Components updated and swapped without affecting remainder
Smaller databases with less bookkeeping than conventional SE
Automated generation of asm and pch files using EXTSEOUT
Allows multiple instancing of repeating components
especially convenient for a segmented mirrors
Superelement reduction is efficient in optical structures
Components are kinematically mounted for isolation
Reduced matrices are small because of 3-point mounts
