Because the geometry, loads, and boundary conditions were symmetric, only 1/8th of the model was created and symmetry boundary conditions were applied. However, the cup can also be modeled with axisymmetric elements, where the model can be observed in even greater detail without an increase in model size. In order to ensure a congruent mesh, and to apply a hydrostatic load, the cross section of the model will be created with four surfaces. The model will be constrained at its bottom surface in the Z translation. A hydrostatic load will be applied with a linear pressure distribution with a spatial field. To create the field a PCL function will be used. After running the analysis with MSC.Nastran, the exercise will be post-processed in MSC.Patran.
