About this Book
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis User’s Guide is one in a series of MSC.Nastran User’s
Guides and is an update of the MSC.Nastran Handbook for Aeroelastic Analysis written for
Version 65 in 1987. This guide presents the aeroelastic features of Version 68 that include the
additions and error corrections of Versions 66 and 67. Version 66 added the PARAM AUNITS
Bulk Data entry to permit accelerations in the static aeroelastic solution to be specified in load
factor units. A number of changes were incorporated into Version 67. Extensive error
corrections were made. Multiple Flutter Subcases were permitted. The supersonic aerodynamic
interfering lifting surface theory ZONA51 was added as the additional client option, Aero II.
The AELINK Bulk Data entry was added to the static aeroelastic solution to permit gearing
between control surfaces, and the EFF field was added to the AESURF entry to permit variations
in the control surface effectiveness without the requirement of DMI entries. The new features of
Version 68 include divergence analysis of restrained components or vehicles, and aeroelastic
sensitivities of design variables for static aeroelastic characteristics, i.e., for stability derivatives,
trim variables, and system damping in flutter, and aeroelastic optimization for these same
response quantities.
This guide attempts to describe the practical aspects of aeroelastic analysis that are required to
obtain design and certification data. It is not intended to be a textbook, although it does contain
certain theoretical material not found in available textbooks. The primary purpose of the
theoretical material is to support the applications. The text is not completely self-contained
because it relies extensively upon information described in the MSC.Nastran Linear Static
Analysis User’s Guide and the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide, as well as the
MSC.Nastran Quick Reference Guide, to obtain solutions with a finite element model. The
program modules used in the aeroelastic analyses are documented in the MSC.Nastran
Programmer’s Manual.
The guide is organized into 10 chapters. “<hypertext>Introduction” in Chapter 1 is introductory
and outlines the features of MSC.Nastran aeroelastic analysis and design.
“<hypertext>Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran” in Chapter 2 covers the
fundamentals of aeroelastic analysis and design including the theoretical background for using
MSC.Nastran. “<hypertext>Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” in Chapter 3 discusses
practical techniques for developing the aerodynamic model, the splines that interconnect the
structural and aerodynamic models, and makes recommendations for selecting design variables
in the optimization process. Modeling the structure is not considered here but that topic is
treated in the MSC.Nastran Linear Static Analysis User’s Guide and the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamic
Analysis User’s Guide. This chapter concludes with recommended modeling practices for static
aeroelastic analysis, modal flutter analysis, modal dynamic aeroelastic response analysis, and
aeroelastic optimization. “<hypertext>Input Files for Aeroelastic Problems” in Chapter 4
describes input files and restarts. Necessary Executive Control Statements and Case Control
Commands are discussed along with requirements, recommendations, and examples for
restarts. “<hypertext>Output Features and Interpretation” in Chapter 5 discusses various
features of the output. “<hypertext>Aeroelastic Solution Sequences” in Chapter 6 contains the
aeroelastic solution sequence structure, modules, and selected data blocks.
Main Index
Preface 11
There are 27 example problems (and problem pairs) in “<hypertext>Static Aeroelastic Analysis
Sample Problems” in Chapter 7 through “<hypertext>Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and
Optimization” in Chapter 10. There are seven static aeroelastic problems, thirteen problems
demonstrating flutter and related analyses, five dynamic response problems, and two
aeroelastic sensitivity and optimization problems. Each problem was chosen to illustrate one or
more special features of MSC.Nastran.
Some apology may be in order for the exclusive use of British (or should we say American units
since the British are now using SI units?) units in the example problems. Most of the examples
include some correlation with experimental data, textbook examples, or other results reported
in the literature that were presented in terms of British units. For this reason, the MSC.Nastran
analyses have been performed using the same system.
The editors wish to acknowledge the many people who contributed to the development of the
this guide. The original design study for adding aeroelasticity to NASTRANΡ was done by Dr.
Richard H. MacNeal, Robert L. Harder, William P. Rodden, and Donald M. McLean. E. Dean
Bellinger participated in the implementation and was the editor of the MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic
Supplement. The compilation of the MSC.Nastran Handbook for Aeroelastic Analysis text and
example problems was done by William P. Rodden, Robert E. Louwers, and Lowell V. Andrew;
the Handbook was edited by William P. Rodden. This guide was reviewed by E. Dean Bellinger,
Robert L. Harder, Mark P. Miller, and Judith E. Hammeran at MSC, and by Robert T. Britt and
Bertil Winther of the Northrop Corporation, Anthony V. Shimko of Universal Analytics, Inc.,
John R. Dykman, Patrick J. Goggin, and Myles L. Baker of McDonnell Douglas Aerospace,
Donald J. Ketter of the Lockheed Aeronautical Systems Company, and Paul F. Taylor of the
Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.

1.1 Overview
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis User’s Guide describes the theoretical aspects and the
numerical techniques used to perform aeroelastic analyses with MSC.Nastran.
The aeroelastic analyses described in this guide use the following features:
Any of the existing MSC.Nastran structural finite elements (except axisymmetric elements) can
be used to build the structural model. The structural stiffness, mass, and damping matrices
required by the aeroelastic analyses are generated by MSC.Nastran from the user input of
geometric, structural, inertial, and damping data, for subsequent use in the various aeroelastic
analyses.
Matrices of aerodynamic influence coefficients are computed from the data describing the
geometry of the aerodynamic finite elements. The choice of aerodynamic grid points for the
aerodynamic model is independent of the location of the structural grid points. One subsonic
and three supersonic lifting surface aerodynamic theories are available in MSC.Nastran, as well
as Strip Theory. The subsonic theory is the Doublet-Lattice method, which can account for
interference among multiple lifting surfaces and bodies. The supersonic theories are the Mach
Box method, Piston Theory, and the ZONA51 method for multiple interfering lifting surfaces
that was added to MSC.Nastran in Version 67.
An automated interpolation procedure is provided to relate the aerodynamic to the structural
degrees of freedom. Splining techniques for both lines and surfaces are used to generate the
transformation matrix from structural grid point deflections to aerodynamic grid point
deflections where local streamwise slopes are also computed. The transpose of this matrix
transfers the aerodynamic forces and moments at aerodynamic boxes to structural grid points.
The structural load distribution on an elastic vehicle in trimmed flight is determined by solving
the equations for static equilibrium. The solution process leads to aerodynamic stability
derivatives, e.g., lift and moment curve slopes and lift and moment coefficients due to control
surface rotation, and trim variables, e.g., angle of attack and control surface setting, as well as
aerodynamic and structural loads, structural deflections, and element stresses. The analysis at
subsonic speeds utilizes the Vortex-Lattice aerodynamic theory (i.e., the steady case of the
Doublet-Lattice method); the analysis at supersonic speeds uses the ZONA51 aerodynamic
theory at zero reduced frequency. Control surface reversal speeds can be obtained by
interpolation of roll control effectiveness, C l , versus flight dynamic pressure. Static aeroelastic
δ
divergence speeds were determined prior to Version 68 by the K- or KE-methods of flutter
analysis at very low reduced frequency or from the PK-method of flutter analysis. Beginning in
Version 68, they can also be obtained by the new Divergence option in SOLutions 144 and 200.
The number of degrees of freedom required for accurate solutions to dynamic aeroelastic
problems is generally far less than the number of physical degrees of freedom used in the finite
element structural model. The number of independent degrees of freedom can be greatly
reduced by using the (complex) amplitudes of a series of vibration modes as generalized
coordinates, e.g., by Galerkin’s method. MSC.Nastran has the capability to compute the
vibration modes and frequencies and to make the transformation to modal coordinates. The
matrices of aerodynamic influence coefficients are also transformed to generalized aerodynamic
forces by use of the vibration eigenvectors.

CHAPTER 1 21
Introduction
The dynamic aeroelastic stability problem, flutter, is solved by any of three methods. The
traditional American flutter method developed by the Air Materiel Command (AMC) in 1942 is
available in the first two methods. The first method is called the K-method and is a variation of
the AMC method; the second method, called the KE-method, is more efficient from the point of
view of tracking roots, but is limited in input (no viscous damping) and output (no
eigenvectors). The third method, called the PK-method, is similar to the British flutter method,
which was developed by the Royal Aircraft Establishment.
The capability to couple servo-systems with the structure was included in the original
MSC.Nastran development. With the addition of aerodynamic forces, aeroservoelastic analysis
of stability augmentation or load alleviation systems is also available.
The coupling with aerodynamic loads has also been added to the existing MSC.Nastran
structural modal frequency response capability. Analyses of frequency response to arbitrarily
specified forcing functions can be carried out using the oscillatory aerodynamic loads from any
of the available aerodynamic theories. Frequency response to a harmonic gust field can be
calculated at subsonic speeds using the Doublet-Lattice method for wing/body interference,
and by the ZONA51 method for interfering lifting surfaces at supersonic speeds.
Because unsteady aerodynamic loads are obtained only for steady-state harmonic motion, they
are known only in the frequency- and not the time-domain. Inverse Fourier Transform
techniques provide the appropriate methods by which transient response is obtained from the
frequency response. Both forward and inverse Fourier transforms are provided so that the time-
varying forcing function or the gust profile can be transformed into the frequency domain. Then,
after convolution with the system frequency response, the inverse transform leads to the
transient response of the system to the specified forcing function or gust profile.
Stationary random response depends on the frequency response of the system to a specified
loading and the power spectral density of that loading. The loading may be either a specified
force distribution or a harmonic gust field. The statistical quantities of interest in the response
are A , the ratio of standard deviations (rms values) of the response to that of the input loading,
and N 0 , the mean frequency of zero crossings (with a positive slope) of the response. The
capability to compute these quantities was added to MSC.Nastran by modifying the existing
random response module to include options to generate various atmospheric turbulence power
spectra and to perform the calculation of N 0 .
The sensitivities of response parameters to changes in design variables are calculated by the
perturbation techniques developed for structural optimization in MSC.Nastran and extended to
include static aeroelasticity and flutter in Version 68. The basic aeroelastic sensitivities that can
be obtained include stability derivatives, trim variables, and flutter system dampings. The
synthetic response technique of MSC.Nastran optimization also permits the calculation of
sensitivities of user-specified functions of those standard response quantities.
Optimization of aeroelastic characteristics can be combined with the other optimization features
of MSC.Nastran in SOLution 200, and vehicles can now be designed optimally for aeroelastic
loads, flying qualities, and flutter, as well as for strength, vibration frequencies, and buckling
characteristics.

In addition to the usual displacement and element force printout, certain output can also be
requested in graphical form. Some of these graphical presentations have been standard features
of MSC.Nastran and some have been added because they are specifically of interest in aeroelastic
analyses. For checking the aeroelastic model, plots can be made of the layouts of structural and
aerodynamic elements. Vibration mode shapes can also be plotted in one or more of three
formats: (1) grid line deflections, (2) grid point vector deflections, and (3) contour lines. Two-
dimensional xy-type plots can be made of flutter analysis results in the form of velocity-damping
and velocity-frequency curves. Frequency response data can be plotted as functions of
frequency, and transient response data can be plotted as functions of time. In random response
analyses, the power spectral densities can be plotted against frequency. Several plotters are
available to the user, the simplest being the printer that provides the results in a numerical
format.
The remaining chapters of this guide describe the theoretical development in “Fundamentals of
Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran” in Chapter 2, modeling in “Aeroelastic Modeling in
MSC.Nastran” in Chapter 3, input files in “Input Files for Aeroelastic Problems” in Chapter 4,
output features in “Output Features and Interpretation” in Chapter 5, solution sequences in
“Aeroelastic Solution Sequences” in Chapter 6, and examples for each type of aeroelastic
analysis in “Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems” in Chapter 7 through “Aeroelastic
Design Sensitivities and Optimization” in Chapter 10. The theoretical section presents an
introduction to aeroelastic analyses, data input, aerodynamic theories, splining, static
aeroelasticity, flutter analysis, transient analysis by the Fourier method, random analysis, and
aeroelastic design sensitivities and optimization. The modeling section describes the
aerodynamic elements, the interpolation from structural to aerodynamic elements, static
aeroelastic analysis, modal flutter analysis, aeroelastic response analysis, and selection of design
variables for optimization. The input file section describes the aeroelastic and related inputs
used in the Executive Control statements, Case Control commands, and Bulk Data entries as well
as the use of restarts with examples. The output features and their interpretation are discussed
in the next chapter. Next, the aeroelastic solution sequences are reviewed in terms of their
structure, modules, and selected data blocks. Finally, the sample problem chapters present
examples of static aeroelastic analyses, flutter analyses, dynamic aeroelastic response analyses,
and design sensitivities and optimization, including discussions of the input and output for each
example and listings of the inputs and outputs.
A large number of problems is necessary to illustrate the principal features of the aeroelastic
capability of MSC.Nastran. The analyses can be grouped under four headings: static
aeroelasticity, dynamic stability (flutter), dynamic response, and design sensitivity and
optimization. Five static aeroelastic problems illustrate the symmetric, antisymmetric, and
unsymmetric options. Flutter analyses by the three available flutter methods have then been
variously selected to demonstrate all of the available aerodynamic theories. Examples of
transient, frequency, and random responses are chosen as applications of the dynamic response
analysis. Finally, several small examples are considered first for their design sensitivities and are
then optimized for a variety of constraints on deflections, strength, and aeroelastic
characteristics.

2.1 Introduction to Aeroelastic Analysis and Design
Aeroelastic Modules and DMAP Sequences. Aeroelastic analysis and design solution
sequences extend the range of capabilities in MSC.Nastran beyond basic static and dynamic
structural analysis. Modules are available to:
• Generate aerodynamic grid points
• Compute aerodynamic matrices
• Provide connection (interpolation) between the structural and aerodynamic grid points
• Solve the equations for static aeroelasticity
• Solve the equations for flutter
• Solve the equations for dynamic aeroelastic response
• Calculate aeroelastic design sensitivities
• Optimize aeroelastic and related structural characteristics
Four DMAP sequences are available: one for static aeroelastic analyses, a second for modal
flutter analyses by the K-, KE-, or PK-methods, a third for modal dynamic aeroelastic response
analyses due to gusts or control surface deflections, and a fourth for design sensitivity and
optimization including aeroelastic effects. Since this fourth sequence has applications to many
areas other than aeroelasticity, this guide presents only design sensitivity and optimization
information as it relates to aeroelasticity, and the reader is referred to the MSC.Nastran Design
Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide (Moore, Version 68) for a more comprehensive
treatment.
The Aerodynamic Finite Element Model. MSC.Nastran aerodynamic analysis, like structural
analysis, is based upon a finite element approach. The finite aerodynamic elements are strips or
boxes on which there are aerodynamic forces. The aerodynamic elements, even for complex
vehicles, must be in regular arrays. In particular, the aerodynamic elements for the lattice
methods are arrays of trapezoidal boxes with sides that are parallel to the airflow. These can be
described simply by defining properties of the array (panel). Because the grid points defining the
structure usually do not coincide with the grid points defining the aerodynamic elements,
provision has been made to generate equations for interpolating between the two. This
interpolation is a key feature since it allows the choice of structural and aerodynamic elements
to be based upon structural and aerodynamic considerations independently.
Oscillatory Aerodynamics. Unsteady aerodynamic forces are generated when the flow is
disturbed by the moving structure, or, as in the case of atmospheric turbulence, when the flow
itself is unsteady. In the former case, theory leads to a matrix that relates the forces acting upon
the structure due to the deflections of the structure. Methods that involve interactions among
aerodynamic elements are available only for steady-state sinusoidal motion. Phase lags occur
between the motions and the forces; thus, the elements of the matrices are complex numbers.
Furthermore, these complex influence coefficient matrices depend upon two parameters of the
flow: reduced frequency (dimensionless ratio of frequency to velocity) and Mach number (ratio
of velocity to speed of sound). Such matrices, if computed by interaction theories such as the
Doublet-Lattice or ZONA51 methods, are expensive to generate. An effective method to
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 27
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
evaluate the matrices for a large number of parameter values is to compute the matrices for a few
selected values and to interpolate to the remaining values. This parametric interpolation is an
automatic feature of the solution modules for aeroelastic analysis.
In the case of atmospheric turbulence theory leads to the forces on the structure in terms of the
spectral composition of the turbulence, as well as the frequency response of the structure in a
harmonic gust field. The turbulence spectrum and frequency response are used to generate the
power spectra of selected responses and their statistical properties.
Aeroelastic Sensitivity and Optimization. The sensitivities of aeroelastic responses require
manipulating the equations used to perform the aeroelastic analysis while perturbing structural
parameters, such as element areas and thicknesses. The result is a prediction of the change in a
particular response, such as a stability derivative, due to a change in the parameter. This is useful
in its own right to allow the user to gain insight into the aeroelastic design task and to make
changes in the design in a systematic fashion. This capability is particularly useful in aeroelastic
analyses since the aerodynamic effects interact with the structural stiffness and inertial
properties in an often nonintuitive fashion. The sensitivities are most useful when coupled with
the MSC.Nastran optimization capability. Here, the user specifies design goals (such as
minimum weight) and restrictions (such as no flutter within the flight envelope), and the
MSC.Nastran optimization procedure alters the design in order to meet these requirements.
Because the aeroelastic optimization capability has been linked to the existing optimization
capability, the design process can include requirements on nonaeroelastic factors such as a
normal modal frequency or a stress response to a statically applied load that does not include
aeroelastic effects.

2.2 Aerodynamic Data Input and Generation
Aerodynamic elements are strips, boxes, or segments of bodies that are combined to idealize the
vehicle for the computation of aerodynamic forces. These elements, like structural elements, are
defined by their geometry and their motions are defined by degrees of freedom at aerodynamic
grid points. Requirements of the aerodynamic theory often dictate the geometry of the boxes. For
example, the Mach Box method (MBM) uses only rectangular boxes, whereas the Doublet-
Lattice (DLM) and ZONA51 methods assume trapezoidal boxes with their edges parallel to the
free-stream velocity. By the use of aerodynamic input data, aerodynamic elements and grid
points are automatically generated to help ensure that many of the theoretical requirements are
met.
Aerodynamic Coordinate Systems. Aerodynamic calculations are performed using a
Cartesian coordinate system. By the usual convention, the flow is in the positive x-direction, and
the x-axis of every aerodynamic element must be parallel to the flow in its undeformed position.
(This is an assumption of aerodynamic small disturbance theory.) The structural coordinate
systems may be defined independently, since the use of the same system for both may place an
undesirable restriction upon the description of the structural model. Any MSC.Nastran
Cartesian system may be specified for the aerodynamic coordinates, as long as the flow is
defined in the direction of the x-axis. All aerodynamic element and grid point data are
transformed to the aerodynamic coordinate system. All the global (displacement) coordinate
systems of the aerodynamic grid points will have their T1-directions in the flow direction. Their
T3-directions will be normal to the element in the case of boxes, and parallel to the aerodynamic
T2- and/or T3-directions in the case of bodies.
Aerodynamic Grid Points. The aerodynamic grid points are physically located at the centers
of the boxes for the lifting surface theories, at the centers of body elements for the DLM, at the
quarter-chord/midspan point of the strips for Strip Theory and Piston Theory, and at user-
defined points for the Mach Box method. Permanent constraints are generated for the unused
degrees of freedom. A second set of grid points, used only for undeformed plotting, is located at
the element corners. Grid point numbers are generated based upon the element identification
number. For any panel, the box numbers start with the panel identification number and increase
consecutively.
Aerodynamic Degrees of Freedom. Aerodynamic degrees of freedom, along with any extra
points, are added after the structural matrices and modes have been determined. This introduces
the following displacement sets for dynamic aeroelasticity:

usa upa
ups
up

uk Aerodynamic box and body degrees of freedom
u sa Permanently constrained degrees of freedom associated with aerodynamic grid points
up Physical degrees of freedom
u ps Union of u p (physical) and u sa
u pa Union of u k and ups (physical and aerodynamic)
The set u p a replaces u p as the set available for output at grid, scalar, and extra points.
For static aeroelasticity, the sets are similar to the displacement sets in static analysis:
ua Structural analysis set
uk Aerodynamic box and body degrees of freedom
ux Aerodynamic “extra” points used to describe aerodynamic control surface deflections
and overall rigid body motions, e.g., angle of attack or roll acceleration
Finally, consider the j-set of aerodynamic control points. The j-set is not a user set; it is a
notational set to identify aerodynamic matrices used in the solution processing. Physically, these
are points on the structure where the downwash vectors are computed. As with the k-set, the
location of these points is a function of the aerodynamic method employed:
• For Doublet-Lattice boxes, the control point is at the 75% chordwise station and
spanwise center of the box
• For ZONA51 boxes, the control point is at the 95% chordwise station and the spanwise
center of the box
• For Doublet-Lattice interference and slender body elements, the control point is along
the axis of the element and at 50% of its length
• For all other theories, the aerodynamic control points are at the same physical location
as the aerodynamic grid points discussed above

2.3 Aerodynamic Theories
MSC.Nastran has implemented six aerodynamic theories:
1. Doublet-Lattice subsonic lifting surface theory (DLM)
2. ZONA51 supersonic lifting surface theory
3. Subsonic wing-body interference theory (DLM with slender bodies)
4. Mach Box method
5. Strip Theory
6. Piston Theory
Each of these methods is described in this section, but they all share a common matrix structure.
Three matrix equations summarize the relationships required to define a set of aerodynamic
influence coefficients [see Rodden and Revell (1962)]. These are the basic relationships between
the lifting pressure and the dimensionless vertical or normal velocity induced by the inclination
of the surface to the airstream; i.e., the downwash (or normalwash),
{ w j } = [ A jj ] { f j ⁄ q } Eq. 2-1
the substantial differentiation matrix of the deflections to obtain downwash,
1 2 g
{ w j } = [ D jk + ikD jk ] { u k } + w j Eq. 2-2
and the integration of the pressure to obtain forces and moments,
{ P k } = [ S kj ] { f j } Eq. 2-3
where:
w j = downwash
g = static aerodynamic downwash; it includes, primarily, the static incidence

distribution that may arise from an initial angle of attack, camber, or twist
f j = pressure on lifting element j
q = flight dynamic pressure
k = reduced frequency, k = ωb ⁄ V where ω is the angular frequency, b is a reference
semichord, and V is the free-stream velocity
A jj ( m, k ) = aerodynamic influence coefficient matrix, a function of Mach number ( m ), and
reduced frequency ( k )
u k, P k = displacements and forces at aerodynamic grid points

The Aerodynamic Influence Coefficient Matrix. The three matrices of Eq. 2-1, Eq. 2-2, and
Eq. 2-3 can be combined to give an aerodynamic influence coefficient matrix:

All aerodynamic methods compute the S , D , and D matrices at user-supplied Mach numbers
and reduced frequencies. The Doublet-Lattice and ZONA51 theories compute the A matrix.
Then, matrix decomposition and forward and backward substitution are used in the
–1
computation of the Q matrix. The remaining methods compute A directly and use matrix
multiplications to form Q .
Doublet-Lattice Subsonic Lifting Surface Theory
The Doublet-Lattice method (DLM) can be used for interfering lifting surfaces in subsonic flow.
The theory is presented by Albano and Rodden (1969), Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1971), and
Rodden, Giesing, and Kalman (1972) and is not reproduced here. The following general remarks
summarize the essential features of the method.
The theoretical basis of the DLM is linearized aerodynamic potential theory. The undisturbed
flow is uniform and is either steady or varying (gusting) harmonically. All lifting surfaces are
assumed to lie nearly parallel to the flow. The DLM is an extension of the steady Vortex-Lattice
method to unsteady flow.
Each of the interfering surfaces (or panels) is divided into small trapezoidal lifting elements
(“boxes”) such that the boxes are arranged in strips parallel to the free stream with surface edges,
fold lines, and hinge lines lying on box boundaries. The unknown lifting pressures are assumed
to be concentrated uniformly across the one-quarter chord line of each box. There is one control
point per box, centered spanwise on the three-quarter chord line of the box, and the surface
normalwash boundary condition is satisfied at each of these points.
The code for computing the aerodynamic influence coefficients A jj was taken from Giesing,
Kalman, and Rodden (1972b). Any number of arbitrarily shaped interfering surfaces can be
analyzed, provided that each is idealized as one or more trapezoidal planes. Aerodynamic
symmetry options are available for motions which are symmetric or antisymmetric with respect
to one or two orthogonal planes. The user may supply one-half (or one-fourth) of the model and
impose the appropriate structural boundary conditions. The full aircraft can also be modeled
when the aircraft or its prescribed maneuvers lack symmetry.
ZONA51 Supersonic Lifting Surface Theory
ZONA51 is a supersonic lifting surface theory that accounts for the interference among multiple
lifting surfaces. It is an optional feature in MSC.Nastran (available as the Aero II option). It is
similar to the Doublet-Lattice method (DLM) in that both are acceleration potential methods that
need not account for flow characteristics in any wake. An outline of the development of the
Main Index
32
acceleration-potential approach for ZONA51 is presented by Liu, James, Chen, and Pototsky
(1991), and its outgrowth from the harmonic gradient method (HGM) of Chen and Liu (1985) is
described. ZONA51 is a linearized aerodynamic small disturbance theory that assumes all
interfering lifting surfaces lie nearly parallel to the flow, which is uniform and either steady or
gusting harmonically. As in the DLM, the linearized supersonic theory does not account for any
thickness effects of the lifting surfaces.
Also, as in the DLM, each of the interfering surfaces (or panels) is divided into small trapezoidal
lifting elements (“boxes”) such that the boxes are arranged in strips parallel to the free stream
with surface edges, fold lines, and hinge lines lying on box boundaries. The unknown lifting
pressures are assumed to be uniform on each box. There is one control point per box, centered
spanwise on the 95 percent chord line of the box, and the surface normalwash boundary
condition is satisfied at each of these points.
The code for computing the aerodynamic influence coefficients, A jj , was integrated into
MSC.Nastran by Zona Technology, Inc., taking full advantage of the extensive similarities with
the DLM. Any number of arbitrarily shaped interfering surfaces can be analyzed, provided that
each is idealized as one or more trapezoidal planes. Aerodynamic symmetry options are
available for motions that are symmetric or antisymmetric with respect to the vehicle centerline.
Unlike the DLM, symmetry about the xy-plane is not supported. The user may supply one half
of the vehicle model and impose the appropriate structural boundary conditions.
Subsonic Wing-Body Interference Theory
The method of images, along with Slender Body Theory, has been added to the Doublet-Lattice
method (DLM) in Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972a, 1972b, and 1972c). The DLM is used to
represent the configuration of interfering lifting surfaces, while Slender Body Theory is used to
represent the lifting characteristics of each body (i.e., fuselage, nacelle, or external store). The
primary wing-body interference is approximated by a system of images of the DLM trailing
vortices and doublets within a cylindrical interference body that circumscribes each slender
body. The secondary wing-body interference that results from the DLM bound vortices and
doublets is accounted for by a line of doublets located on the longitudinal axis of each slender
body. The boundary conditions of no flow through the lifting surfaces or through the body (on
the average about the periphery) lead to the equations for the lifting pressures on the surfaces
and for the longitudinal (and/or lateral) loading on the bodies in terms of the normalwashes on
the wing-body combination.
The code for computing the aerodynamic matrices was adapted for MSC.Nastran from Giesing,
Kalman, and Rodden (1972b). The adaptation required a matrix formulation of all of the body
interference and body loading calculations. These equations are written using the symbols
adopted for MSC.Nastran and showing the equivalences to names used in the documentation of
Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b).
The program of Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b) finds the forces on the lifting boxes and
bodies of an idealized airplane in terms of the motions of these elements. The lifting surfaces are
divided into boxes. The bodies are divided into elements. There are two types of body elements:
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 33
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
slender elements, which are used to simulate a body’s own motion, and interference elements,
which are used to simulate the interaction with other bodies and boxes. The body elements may
have z (vertical), y (lateral), or both degrees of freedom.
The basic method is the superposition of singularities and their images. There are two basic
singularity types: “forces” and modified acceleration potential “doublets.” Each “force”
singularity is equivalent to a line of doublets in the wake. As discussed, the wing boxes use the
“force” type of singularity concentrated along the box quarter chord. The interference elements
use the “doublet” type of singularity. The slender body elements use both types. Downwashes
are related to the singularities by

Eq. 2-5 and Eq. 2-6 use Method 1 of Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b). All of the above
matrices have been modified to include the images of the sources caused by the symmetry plane.
In the slender body part of the program developed by Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b),
there is no matrix that relates the slender element forces, C s , to the slender element doublets, µ s .
MSC was required to derive this matrix. This relationship between the forces and doublets
involves only elements of the same body with the same orientation. The differential equation
relating these distributions is

The elements of the vector { C s } are C ( x center )∆x , which are the total forces on the elements
divided by the dynamic pressure. The elements of { µ s } are µ ( x center ) . The values of { C s }
[called ∆C p ∆A by Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b)] are evaluated from an equation that is
equivalent to

The method used by Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b) leads to a matrix, [ G ] , which relates
the vector of { C s } to µ s
{ Cs } = [ G ] { µs } Eq. 2-10

The derivation of [ G ] assumes that µ s ⁄ a o ( x ) , which is proportional to w s , is a function of x .

Thus, µ s ( x ) = a o ( x ) [ µ s ( x ) ⁄ a o ( x ) ] . Using Eq. 2-7,

kept, even in the case of panels with interference and slender bodies.
Mach Box Method
The Mach Box method (MBM) is used to estimate generalized aerodynamic forces on an isolated
planar wing that has up to two (adjacent) trailing edge control surfaces, a crank on the leading
and trailing edges, and is oscillating in supersonic flow. The MBM is a modification of the square
box method first proposed by Pines, Dugundji, and Neuringer (1955), outlined by Zartarian and
Hsu (1955) and Zartarian (1956), and programmed by Moore and Andrew (1965) and by Donato
and Huhn (1968). Donato and Huhn (1968) also present extensive comparisons of MBM results
with exact theories. The general features of the method are summarized in the following
remarks.
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 37
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
The MBM is a numerical solution of the linearized three-dimensional oscillatory supersonic
perturbation potential flow equation. The regions disturbed by the vibrating lifting surface are
divided into a grid of rectangular lifting elements, called Mach boxes (i.e., rectangles with
diagonals that are parallel to the Mach lines). The regions that are divided into Mach boxes
include the wing and its control surfaces, as well as regions adjacent to the lifting surface that are
within the envelope of aft Mach cones of the foremost points on the wing. Calculations are made
of the influence of unit sources distributed uniformly over the area of each box on the velocity
potential at the center of every box within its aft Mach cone. These are called velocity potential
influence coefficients, and are functions of Mach number, reduced frequency, and relative
locations of box centers. They are multiplied by the source strengths, defined by the normal
velocity and perturbation angle of attack at the box center, and then summed to obtain the
corresponding velocity potential at a downstream receiving point on the planform. When these
velocity potential distributions are determined, they are multiplied by the complex conjugate of
the source strength at the receiving point and summed over all such points to complete the
calculation of the generalized aerodynamic force coefficients.
–1
Note: This is the variation on A discussed in “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30; the
matrix A jj in Eq. 2-1 is never computed in MBM. Instead of relating pressures to
downwashes, the MBM relates velocity potentials to downwashes and thereby
circumvents the errors associated with numerical differentiation of the potentials to
obtain pressures. Then the generalized aerodynamic forces are obtained directly from
the potentials (by using an integration by parts) without the intermediate step of
finding the pressures.
As with all potential theory methods, the accuracy of the MBM depends on the validity of
supersonic linearized theory (which is generally assumed to be valid in the Mach number range
from about 1.2 up to 3.0) and the number of Mach boxes with centers on the moving surface. At
high Mach numbers the results approach those from first order Piston Theory.The supersonic
Mach Box code used by MSC.Nastran is based on subroutines in a modified version of the
program of Donato and Huhn (1968); the modifications were made by L. V. Andrew,
G. V. Owens, and J. W. Sleison to include the second control surface.
Velocity
Figure 2-1 Platform Geometry for Mach Box Method
The general planform that can be analyzed is shown in Figure 2-1. The following options are
available:
• Leading- and/or trailing-edge cranks
• None, one, or two adjacent trailing-edge control surfaces with swaybacked hinge lines
Main Index
38
• Symmetric or antisymmetric motion
The free-stream velocity is parallel to the x-axis as shown in Figure 2-1 and a plane of symmetry
is imposed at the inboard edge.
The Mach Box computer algorithm searches for the extreme streamwise point and the extreme
spanwise point on the wing/control surface planform. They may be different points. It then
reduces the user-supplied integer number of chordwise boxes to the closest floating point value
(v 50) that places the side edge of a Mach box on the extreme spanwise point. If this array satisfies
the criterion of less than a total number of 500 boxes (with v 50 spanwise) that contribute to the
integral of generalized forces (i.e., those partially on the main surface plus those cut by the
trailing edge), and less than 200 boxes on each control surface that contribute to the integral, the
grid is used to complete the analysis. If not, the number of chordwise boxes is sequentially
reduced by one until both the edge criterion and the number criteria are satisfied, and then it
proceeds to complete the analysis.
Strip Theory
The first solutions to the unsteady theoretical aerodynamic problem were obtained in two
dimensions by Theodorsen (1935) and by Küssner and Schwarz (1940). These solutions were
utilized in flutter analyses by assuming that the loads at each spanwise station of a wing
depended only on the motion of that station. An early method of flutter analysis, presented by
Smilg and Wasserman (1942), divided the wing into a number of strips, and the aerodynamic
loads on each strip were calculated on the basis of the two-dimensional coefficients evaluated at
the centerline of the strip. This “Strip Theory” was surprisingly accurate in many cases, although
its successes were primarily in applications to unswept wings with high aspect ratios and may
have been the result of compensating errors in the application of two-dimensional theory to
three-dimensional flow. Because of its place in tradition, Strip Theory is included in
MSC.Nastran for use at the user’s discretion.
–1
The MSC.Nastran code for computing A jj is based on Küssner and Schwarz (1940) and is an
extension of a program written by E. Albano at the Northrop Corporation. Although Küssner
and Schwarz (1940) include a trim tab, only the airfoil and an aerodynamically balanced control
surface are considered in MSC.Nastran. Both the airfoil and the control surface are assumed to
be rigid in the chordwise direction, and the control surface hinge line is assumed to remain on
the wing chord line (i.e., no camber motions or hinge failures are considered).
The Theodorsen function for the unsteady circulatory loads is written as
C(k) = F(k) + iG(k) Eq. 2-17
where k = ωb ⁄ V is the local reduced frequency and b is the semichord of the strip. The user has
the option of invoking F ( k ) and G ( k ) from their exact expressions in terms of Bessel functions,
or from approximations of the form

way, Strip Theory can be adjusted to account for compressibility or aspect ratio effects. Some
values of b n and β n are tabulated on Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 350, 394). An
approximate sweep correction is also incorporated; the correction is the factor cos Λ , where Λ is
the one-quarter chord line sweep angle for the aerodynamic macro-element defined on the
CAERO4 Bulk Data entry and is applied as a multiplier to all loads acting on the element.
Piston Theory
2 2 2
In the limit of high Mach number ( m » 1 ) or high reduced frequency ( m k » 1 ) , the three-
dimensional, pressure-downwash relationship on a lifting surface becomes a nonlinear
uncoupled relationship at each point. The nonlinear point relationship can be linearized for
small disturbances while retaining the nonlinear aspects of the initial steady-state condition. The
result is known as third-order Piston Theory and was developed by Ashley and Zartarian (1956).
–1
A computer program to obtain A jj was written by Rodden, Farkas, Malcom, and Kliszewski
(1962). The program uses much of the same logic as Strip Theory discussed previously. This
computer code has been added directly to MSC.Nastran with only minor adjustments for sign
conventions and has the following general features: it is an extension of Ashley and Zartarian
(1956) to account for sweep and steady angle of attack and to decrease the lower supersonic
Mach number limit so that agreement with Van Dyke (1952) is obtained through the second-
order terms. A rigid chord is assumed as well as a rigid trailing edge control surface hinged at
its leading edge (i.e., no aerodynamic balance is considered because that is not a design feature
on supersonic vehicles). Experimental correlations have indicated the validity of Piston Theory
in the range of Mach numbers from about 2.5 to 7.0.
Experimental Aerodynamic Corrections
The theoretical aerodynamic pressures are found from Eq. 2-1.

Both corrections are appropriate in static aeroelastic analysis and provision for them has been
made and is illustrated in a sample problem for static aeroelasticity in “Static Aeroelastic

in the dynamic aeroelastic analyses since these are perturbation analyses. The multiplicative
correction is illustrated in a sample problem for flutter analysis in “Fundamentals of Aeroelastic
Analysis with MSC.Nastran” on page 25. Correction terms are input using DMI Bulk Data
entries with names corresponding to those given in the sample problems.

2.4 Interconnection of the Structure with Aerodynamics
Structural and aerodynamic grids are connected by interpolation. This allows the independent
selection of grid points of the structure and aerodynamic elements of the lifting surfaces/bodies
in a manner best suited to the particular theory. The structural model for a wing may involve a
one-, two- or three-dimensional array of grid points. The aerodynamic theory may be a lifting
surface theory or a strip theory. A general interpolation method is available that will
interconnect the various combinations. Any aerodynamic panel or body can be subdivided into
subregions for interpolation, using a separate function for each.
The interpolation method is called splining. The theory involves the mathematical analysis of
beams and plates (see Figure 2-1). Three methods are available:
• linear splines, which are a generalization of an infinite beam and allow torsional as well
as bending degrees of freedom
• surface splines, which are solutions for infinite uniform plates
• an explicit user-defined interpolation
Several splines, including combinations of the three types, can be used in one model. For
example, a model may use one spline for the horizontal tail and three splines for the wing (a
surface spline for the inboard section, and a linear spline for the outboard wing section, and the
explicit interpolation for the aileron). Separation into subregions allows discontinuous slopes
(e.g., at the wing-aileron hinge), separate functions (for wing and tail), and smaller regions.
Smaller regions reduce the computing time and may increase the accuracy.
The structural degrees of freedom have been chosen in MSC.Nastran as the independent degrees
of freedom; the aerodynamic degrees of freedom are dependent. A matrix is derived that relates
the dependent degrees of freedom to the independent ones. The structural degrees of freedom
may include any grid components. Two transformations are required: the interpolation from the
structural deflections to the aerodynamic deflections and the relationship between the
aerodynamic forces and the structurally equivalent forces acting on the structural grid points.
The splining methods lead to an interpolation matrix [ G kg ] that relates the components of
structural grid point deflections { u g } to the deflections of the aerodynamic grid points { u k } ,
{ u k } = [ G kg ] { u g } Eq. 2-22
The derivation of the elements of [ G kg ] is discussed in the following sections for the surface
spline and linear spline interpolation methods. Attention is first given to the transformation
between the aerodynamic and structural force systems. This transformation is found from the
requirement that the two force systems be “structurally equivalent” rather than statically
equivalent. Structural equivalence means that the two force systems deflect the structure
equally. Statically equivalent force systems, as used on a whiffletree in a static structural strength
test, do not result in equal deflections. It is the deflections rather than resultant loads that are of
primary interest in aeroelasticity. The concept of structural equivalence is discussed by Schmitt
(1956) and Rodden (1959b).

CHAPTER 2 43
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
Eq. 2-22 and Eq. 2-25 are both required to complete the formulation of aeroelastic problems in
which the aerodynamic and structural grids do not coincide, i.e., to interconnect the
aerodynamic and structural grid points. However, since the transpose of the deflection
interpolation matrix is all that is required to connect the aerodynamic forces to the structure, it
is appropriate in further discussions to refer to the interconnection problem as simply the
problem of interpolating from the structural to the aerodynamic grid points.
Theory of Surface Splines
A surface spline is a mathematical tool used to find a surface function, w ( x, y ) , for all points
( x, y ) when w is known for a discrete set of points, w i = w ( xi, y i ) . The theory introduces an
infinite plate and solves for its deflections, given its deflections at a discrete set of points; i.e., it
is the problem of a plate with multiple deflecting supports. The surface spline is a smooth
continuous function that will become nearly linear in x and y at large distances from the points
( x i, y i ) . This problem can be solved in closed form.
The deflection of the plate is synthesized as the sum of deflections due to a set of point loads on
the infinite plate. The deflection due to a single concentrated load is the fundamental solution
and has polar symmetry. If the load is taken at x i = y i = 0 , and polar coordinates are used
( x = r cos θ , y = r sin θ ) , the governing differential equation is
1 d d 1 d dw
D∇ w = D --- ----- r ----- --- ----- r ------- = q

Eq. 2-26
r dr dr r dr dr
The distributed load q vanishes except near r = 0. The general solution to the homogeneous
form of Eq. 2-26 is
2 2
w = C 0 + C 1 r + C 2 ln r + C 3 r ln r Eq. 2-27
Set C2 = 0 to keep the solution finite as r → 0 . Then multiply Eq. 2-26 by 2πr and integrate
from r = 0 to r = ε (a small number) to obtain the concentrated force P ,

P = ∫ 2πrq dr

Eq. 2-28
Combining Eq. 2-27 and Eq. 2-28 leads to C 3 = P ⁄ ( 8πD ) . The fundamental solution may
therefore be written
2 2 2
w = A + Br + ( P ⁄ 16πD )r ln r Eq. 2-29
since

ln r = --- ln r

The fundamental solutions are superimposed to solve the entire plate problem with a solution

2 2
where: r i = ( x – x i ) + ( y – y i ) 2 .
The remaining requirement is the satisfaction of the boundary condition at infinity: Radial lines
emanating from loaded points (which all may be regarded as at the origin relative to infinity)
appear to be straight lines. To do this, Eq. 2-30 is expanded in a series, assuming a large
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
argument ( x + y ) , and delete all terms of order ( x + y ) ln ( x + y ) , ( x + y ) , x ln ( x + y ) ,
2 2 2 2
and y ln ( x + y ) , leaving terms of order x , y , ln ( x + y ) , and 1. The details of the series
expansion are given by Harder, MacNeal, and Rodden (1971, App. E). The deletion of the
higher-order terms is accomplished by requiring
∑ Bi = 0 Eq. 2-31
∑ Pi = 0 Eq. 2-32
∑ xi Pi = 0 Eq. 2-33
∑ yi Pi = 0 Eq. 2-34
Eq. 2-31 through Eq. 2-34 result in linear deflections at infinity; Eq. 2-32 through Eq. 2-34 are
also recognized as the equations of equilibrium. From Eq. 2-31 it is seen that

Theory of Linear Splines
A linear spline is a “beam” function, w ( x ) , which passes through the known deflections,
w i = w ( x i ) with twists φ i = φ ( x i ) . Bending deflections are easily solved by the three-moment
method, which is appropriate for simple beams. However, an extension of the method is
required for splines with torsion, rigid arms, and attachment springs. The following derivations
outlined are based on analogy with the surface spline derivation.

Attachment of Splines with Elastic Springs
If a number of grid points are located closely, forcing the splines through each deflected point
may cause some erratic behavior at a distance from the cluster. For this reason elastic spring
connections to smooth the spline have been introduced. The change in the formulas for splines
to accommodate flexible supports is straightforward. A derivation, valid for the several types
of splines, follows. The spline definition is given by Eq. 2-40, Eq. 2-50, and Eq. 2-54 and can be
written as
T
{ 0 } = [ Ri ] { P } Eq. 2-55
{ u k } = [ R i ] { a } + [ A ij ] { P } Eq. 2-56
The structural deflection, u g , will differ from the spline deflection by the deformation of the
spring, resulting in forces
{ P } = [ Ks ] { ug – uk } Eq. 2-57
where the diagonal matrix, K s , has the spring constant, K , along the diagonal. These are
nonzero (if K were equal to zero, then there would be no attachment and that grid point would
be discarded) and thus the inverse of K s is
1⁄K … 0
–1 .. .
[ Ks ] = . … .. Eq. 2-58
0 … 1⁄K
Eliminating u k between Eq. 2-56 and Eq. 2-57 and leads to
–1
{ u g } = [ R i ] { a } + ( [ A ij ] + [ K s ] ){P} Eq. 2-59
Thus, all that is required to accommodate springs is to add the spring flexibilities to the diagonal
of the spline influence coefficient matrix. This is also obvious from physical reasoning, since the
spring and spline flexibilities are in series and can be added directly.

Rigid Arms on Linear Splines
The linear splines used for geometry interpolation have rigid arms (see Figure 2-2).
Mathematically, these rigid arms represent equations of constraint between the displacements
and rotations at the spline and the attachment point of the aerodynamic element. Physically,
these rigid arms correspond to the assumption of a structure with a rigid chord perpendicular
to the linear spline (elastic axis). The equations of constraint for the rigid arms are used to
transform the influence functions from the spline ends to influence functions at the attachment
points. The complete transformed influence functions are summarized at the end of this section.
The Constraint Spline
The third spline in MSC.Nastran is simply a multipoint constraint useful for including control
surfaces in aeroelastic analyses. The constraint has the form
ud = ∑ Ai ui Eq. 2-60
i
where u d is the value of the dependent u k component, and u i is the displacement at grid G i with
component C i .
Coordinate Systems and Constraints
The spline constraints are derived in spline coordinates, transformed to the basic coordinate
system, and then all splines are appended to a common constraint matrix, [ G kg ] . Finally, the
multi-, single-, and omit-constraints are applied to reduce this to [ G ka ] .

2.5 Static Aeroelasticity
Static (or quasi-steady) aeroelastic problems deal with the interaction of aerodynamic and
structural forces on a flexible vehicle that results in a redistribution of the aerodynamic loading
as a function of airspeed. The aerodynamic load redistribution and consequent internal
structural load and stress redistributions are of concern to the structural analyst. The possibility
of a static aeroelastic instability, (i.e., divergence) is also of concern to the structural analyst. The
aerodynamic load redistribution and consequent modifications to aerodynamic stability and
control derivatives are of interest to the aerodynamicist and the control systems analyst. The
static aeroelastic capability in MSC.Nastran addresses these needs by the computation of aircraft
trim conditions, with subsequent recovery of structural responses, aeroelastic stability
derivatives, and static aeroelastic divergence dynamic pressures.
Generation of Aerodynamic Matrices
The aerodynamic equations of “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30 form the basis of the
aerodynamic computations required for static aeroelastic analysis with some special purpose
modifications made for the MSC.Nastran implementation.
For static aeroelasticity, the downwash relation of Eq. 2-2 becomes:
g
{ w j } = [ D jk ] { u k } + [ D jx ] { u x } + w j Eq. 2-61
where:
{ w j } = vector of aerodynamic degrees of freedom (e.g., angles of attack)
{ u k } = vector of aerodynamic displacements (deformations)
{ u x } = vector of “extra aerodynamic points” used to describe, e.g., aerodynamic control
surface deflections and overall rigid body motions
= represents an initial static aerodynamic downwash. It includes, primarily, the static
g
wj incidence distribution that may arise from an initial angle of attack, camber, or
washout (twist).
1
[ D jk ] = substantial derivative matrix for the aerodynamic displacements. This is the D jk term
2
of Eq. 2-2 and the D jk term is not used for this quasi-steady analysis
[ D jx ] = substantial derivative matrix for the extra aerodynamic points
The theoretical aerodynamic pressures are given by Eq. 2-20.
–1
{ f j } = q [ A jj ] { wj } Eq. 2-62
and the aerodynamic forces, based on Eq. 2-20 and Eq. 2-21, can be written
–1 e
{ P k } = q [ W kk ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] { w j } + q [ S kj ] f j ⁄ q Eq. 2-63
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 53
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
where all the terms have been defined in “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30.
The vector of aerodynamic extra points specifies the values of aerodynamic trim variables.
MSC.Nastran has a number of predefined variables, including incidence angles ( α and β ), roll,
·· ·· · ·
pitch, and yaw rates ( p , q , and r ) and two translational ( u 2 and u 3 ) and three rotational ( p , q
·
and r ) accelerations. The DJX matrix, then, provides the vector of downwash velocities for unit
values of these aerodynamic extra points. Note that accelerations do not result in any downwash
for the quasi-steady assumption so that the corresponding columns of the DJX matrix are null.
Static Aeroelastic Equations of Motion
The aerodynamic forces are transferred to the structure using the spline matrix in Eq. 2-22 and
Eq. 2-25 reduced to the a-set to form an aerodynamic influence coefficient matrix, Q aa , which
provides the forces at the structural grid points due to structural deformations
T –1
[ Q aa ] = [ G ka ] [ W kk ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] [ D jk ] [ G ka ] Eq. 2-64
and a second matrix, Q ax , which provides forces at the structural grid points due to unit
deflections of the aerodynamic extra points:
T –1
[ Q ax ] = [ G ka ] [ W kk ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] [ D jx ] Eq. 2-65
The complete equations of motion in the a-set degrees of freedom require
K aa Structural stiffness matrix
M aa Structural mass matrix
Pa Vector of applied loads (e.g., mechanical, thermal, and gravity loads plus
aerodynamic terms due to user input pressures and/or downwash velocities)
The a-set equations are then:
··
[ K aa – qQ aa ] { u a } + [ M aa ] { U a } = q [ Q ax ] { u x } + { P a } Eq. 2-66
This is the basic set of equations used for static aeroelastic analysis. In the general case, rigid
body motions are included in the equations to represent the free-flying characteristic of an air
vehicle. This is addressed in MSC.Nastran by a requirement that the user identify reference
degrees of freedom equal in number to the number of rigid body motions using the SUPORT
Bulk Data entry. Eq. 2-66 is then partitioned into r-set (supported) and l -set (left over) degrees
of freedom yielding

has been introduced.
At this point the MSC.Nastran implementation of aeroelastic analysis introduces a mathematical
technique that is based on the MSC.Nastran inertia relief analysis without aeroelastic effects. The
T
technique entails multiplying the first row of Eq. 2-67 by D and adding the result to the second
row, where
–1
D = – [ K ll ] [ K lr ] Eq. 2-68
is known as the rigid body mode matrix and can be shown to be only a function of the geometry
of the model. The resulting set of equations is then

If there were no aerodynamic terms, the D K ll + K rl and D K lr + K rr would sum to zero so that
··
the second row of equations could be solved for { u r } . With the aerodynamic coupling, this
simplification is not possible.
Note: D T K ll + K rl = 0 from the definition of D given in Eq. 2-68. Note that D T K lr + K rr = 0
because this represents the work performed on the structure when it undergoes a
rigid body displacement.
It is seen that Eq. 2-69 contains nl + nr equations with 2 ( nl + nr ) undetermined quantities,
where nl , nr , and nx are the number of degrees of freedom in the l and r sets and the number
of aerodynamic extra points, respectively.
The undetermined accelerations can be directly specified using two relations. The first relation
comes from the assumption of quasi-steady equilibrium and specifies that
·· ··
{ ul } = [ D ] { ur } Eq. 2-70
where [ D ] is the rigid body mode matrix of Eq. 2-68, and Eq. 2-69 simplifies to

The second relation recognizes that the { u r } structural accelerations are related to the
aerodynamic extra points { u x } via
·· T
{ u r } = [ TR ] [ TRX ] { u x } Eq. 2-72
where TRX is a Boolean matrix that selects accelerations from the aerodynamic extra points and
T
[ TR ] is a matrix that transforms accelerations from the aerodynamic reference point to the
“supported” degrees of freedom. This second matrix is a function of only the geometry of the
model.
The further solution of the static aeroelastic equations is dependent on the type of analysis
required. The remainder of the section is divided into four subsections that treat (1) restrained
analysis for trim and stability derivative analysis, (2) unrestrained stability derivative analysis,
(3) rigid stability derivatives, and (4) divergence analysis.
Restrained Analysis
Significant simplification is made by assuming that the { u r } terms can be set to zero with the
remaining displacements then computed relative to this assumption. Therefore, setting u r = 0
in Eq. 2-71, and solving for u l from the first row gives:
a –1 ·· a
{ u l } = [ K ll ] [ – [ M ll D + M lr ] { u r } – [ K lx ] { u x } + { P l } ] Eq. 2-73
··
This is then substituted into the second row of Eq. 2-71 and the relationship for { ur } in terms of
{ u x } of Eq. 2-72 is used to give nr equations with only the ux quantities undetermined:
[ ZZX ] { u x } = { PZ } Eq. 2-74
where:
T T a a a –1 T
[ ZZX ] = [ m r ] [ TR ] [ TRX ] + – [ D K ll + K rl ] [ K ll ] [ M ll D + M lr ] [ TR ] [ TRX ] Eq. 2-75

T T a a a –1
[ PZ ] = [ D ] { P l } + { P r } – [ D K ll + K rl ] [ K ll ] { Pl } Eq. 2-76
Main Index
56
The solution of Eq. 2-74 for u x requires that the equation be augmented by user input relations
that specify all but nr terms in the u x vector. These user specifications can be done by either
specifying u x values directly or by specifying a linkage that makes a term (or terms) in the u x
vector dependent on an independently varying term. The augmented trim equation then has the
form:
ZZX PZ
IP { u x } = Y Eq. 2-77
AEL O
where IP is a pseudo-identity matrix with as many rows as there are user-specified constraints
on the values of u x terms. The IP matrix has ones in the row and columns corresponding to the
constrained variables and zero elsewhere. The Y vector contains the values of the user-specified
constraints. The AEL matrix contains any user-specified relationships between (or among)
aerodynamic extra points. Eq. 2-77 can then be solved for the remaining terms in the u x vector.
··
Once the u x vector has been evaluated, { u l } and { ul } can be recovered using Eq. 2-72, and
Eq. 2-73, respectively. Standard MSC.Nastran data recovery techniques are used to compute
user-requested values of displacements, stresses, etc.
The user may also request pressures and forces on the aerodynamic boxes or elements. These
terms are calculated using Eq. 2-62 for the pressures and Eq. 2-63 for the forces.
Stability derivatives are also calculated using the ZZX and PZ matrices with some
modifications. For stability derivatives associated with aerodynamic extra points, dimensional
stability derivatives are obtained from
T
[ KRZX ] = [ ZZX ] – [ m r ] [ TR ] [ TRX ] Eq. 2-78

Unrestrained Stability Derivatives
The stability derivatives of the previous section were computed under the assumption of
{ u r } = 0 . This calculates these quantities in a structural axis system that is dependent on the
arbitrary selection of the support point location. The stability derivatives of an unrestrained
vehicle must be invariant with the selection of the support point location. This invariance is
obtained by introducing a mean axis system. The characteristic of the mean axis is that
deformations of the structure about it occur such that there is neither movement of the center of
gravity nor rotation of the principal axes of inertia. Stated another way, the displacements in the
mean axis system are orthogonal to the rigid body modes of the vehicle. In terms of the rigid
body mode matrix [ D ] and the mass matrix of the system [ M aa ] , the mean axis constraint is
defined by

Rigid Stability Derivatives and Mean Axis Rotations
This subsection briefly provides a theoretical description of several data blocks that are used to
provide output to the user. Two sets of rigid stability derivatives are printed out. These are
stability derivatives that are computed when elastic deformations are neglected. The first set of
rigid derivatives are denoted as “unsplined” and are the values obtained directly from the
aerodynamic calculations before they have been transferred to the structure. The dimensional
matrix that contains these derivatives is
T
[ RSTAB ] = q [ SRKT ] [ Q kx ]
where:
–1
[ Q kx ] = [ W kk ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] [ D jx ]
[see Eq. 2-65], and SRKT is a matrix that sums forces acting on each of the aerodynamic boxes
or elements to the supported degrees of freedom. This matrix is only a function of the geometry
of the aerodynamic model and the locations of the support degrees of freedom.
The intercept stability dimensional derivatives are computed using
T –1 e
{ RINT } = q [ SRKT ] [ W kk ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] { w j } + [ S kj ] f j ⁄ q Eq. 2-92
Similar expressions are available to the splined rigid stability derivatives and intercepts
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 61
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
T a a
[ KSAZX ] = [ D K lx + K rx ] Eq. 2-93
{ INTZ } = [ G ka ] T { RINT } Eq. 2-94
Nondimensionalization of these matrices is performed in a fashion similar to that given in Eq. 2-
79 for stability derivatives and Eq. 2-81 for intercept values.
The availability of these rigid terms is useful in several ways. A comparison between the splined
and unsplined derivatives provides an assessment of the quality of the splining. If the numbers
differ significantly, this may indicate that not all aerodynamic elements have been transferred to
the structure. This may be the user’s intent or it may indicate a user error. If the two sets of rigid
numbers bear little resemblance to one another, a serious splining error has been made. The
guidelines of “Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” on page 93 should be consulted to
determine if there is a modeling error.
Similarly, experience should allow the user to assess the reasonableness of the flexible results
when compared with the rigid numbers. Large differences indicate large structural
deformations and may point up conditions such as local weaknesses in the structure, an
aerodynamic model displaced from the structural model, or errors in the input of the flight
condition.
The rotations of the mean axes relative to the structural axes through the support points are
required when restrained aeroelastic coefficients (stability derivatives and intercept coefficients)
are used in the equations of motion [see Rodden and Love (1985)]. The deflections of the mean
axes relative to the origin of the structural axes are derived as follows.
The grid point deflections relative to the mean axes { u l } are related to the deflections of the
SUPORT points { u r } through the rigid body mode matrix [ D ] (see Figure 2-3).
{ ul } = { ul } + [ D ] { ur } Eq. 2-95
The requirement for the mean axes is that deformation occurs about them such that the center of
gravity does not move and the axes do not rotate. In terms of the rigid body mode matrix and
the mass matrix, this condition is expressed by
T M ll M lr u l
D
= 0 Eq. 2-96
I M rl M rr u r
Eq. 2-95 and Eq. 2-96 lead to
–1 T
{ ur } = –[ mr ] [ D M ll + M rl ] { u l } Eq. 2-97
Introducing Eq. 2-73 yields
–1 T a –1
{ ur } = –[ mr ] [ D M ll + M rl ] [ K ll ] Eq. 2-98
·· a
( [ M ll D + M lr ] { u r } + [ K lx ] { u x } – { P l } )
Main Index
62
and with Eq. 2-72 we finally obtain
–1 T a –1
{ ur } = –[ mr ] [ D M ll + M rl ] [ K ll ] [ ( [ M ll D
Eq. 2-99
T a
+ M lr ] [ TR ] [ TRX ] + [ K lx ] ) { u x } – { P l } ]
The coefficient of { ux } in Eq. 2-99 is defined as the matrix [ HP ] corresponding to the
aerodynamic extra points
–1 T a –1 T a
[ HP ] = [ m r ] [ D M ll + M rl ] [ K ll ] ( [ M ll D + M lr ] [ TR ] [ TRX ] + [ K lx ] )
The second term in Eq. 2-99 is defined as the matrix [ HP0 ] corresponding to the user inputs of
g e
{ w j } and { f j ⁄ q }.
–1 T a –1
[ HP0 ] = – [ m r ] [ D M ll + M rl ] [ K ll ] { Pl }
The columns of deflections in [ HP ] are used to find the mean axis rotations for each
aerodynamic extra point, α m in the longitudinal case, β m in the lateral case, and γ m in the
i i i
directional case, for the user inputs; [ HP0 ] is used in like manner to find the longitudinal mean
axis rotation α m .
0
The general problem of obtaining the mean axis rotations with multiple SUPORT points is a
problem in solid analytical geometry that is beyond the scope of this guide, but is also not
regarded as a practical situation. If there is only a clamped SUPORT at one point (see Figure 2-
3) the deflections in [ HP ] and [ HP0 ] are not needed; only the rotations are of interest, and these
are illustrated in the examples of “Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems” on page 179.
In the more general longitudinal case of two SUPORTed grid points (see Figure 2-4) the
longitudinal mean axis rotations α m and α m are found by dividing the difference between the
i 0
upstream and downstream deflections by the distance between the two grid points. Note that
“upstream” and “downstream” must be determined by PARAM,USETPRT,11 in the Bulk Data
to account for any resequencing of grid points in the MSC.Nastran solution.

Speed Derivatives
MSC.Nastran assumes a constant forward velocity in all of its aeroelastic solutions and has no
capability to estimate induced drag coefficients. However, certain speed derivatives that are
required in longitudinal maneuvering studies of aircraft can be obtained using MSC.Nastran.
The lift and moment aeroelastic coefficients are functions of two speed parameters: Mach
number and dynamic pressure, so the expression for the speed derivative is
∂C ∂C ∂C
C v = -------------------- = V ------- + 2q ------
∂( v ⁄ V ) ∂m ∂q
The numerical evaluation of the derivative; e.g., with respect to Mach number, is done with the
finite difference
∂C C ( m + ∆m, q ) – C ( m, q )
------- = -----------------------------------------------------------------
∂m ∆m
In the calculation of the finite difference derivatives, the perturbations, e.g., ∆m , must be large
enough that the close differences do not lose significance. The above example of the finite
difference derivative is a forward difference; a central difference formula might also be used
using perturbations on either side of the flight condition. Three MSC.Nastran subcases are
required to evaluate the speed derivatives by the forward difference equation:
• at the flight condition of m and q
• with a perturbed Mach number m + ∆m and q
• with the flight Mach number m and a perturbed dynamic pressure q + ∆q

Divergence Analysis
The divergence speeds of a restrained aircraft component may be obtained by solving an
eigenvalue problem. The divergence eigenvalue problem for the restrained vehicle can be
extracted from the (1,1) partition of Eq. 2-71 above:
a
[ K ll ] { u l } = 0 Eq. 2-100
a
Since [ K ll ] = [ K ll ] – q [ Q ll ] , the divergence eigenvalue problem becomes
[ K ll – λQ ll ] { u l } = 0 Eq. 2-101
where the eigenvalues λ = q d are the dynamic pressures for divergence. Only positive values of
q d have any physical significance and the lowest value of q d is the critical divergence dynamic
pressure.

Flutter is the dynamic aeroelastic stability problem. It can be solved in any speed regime simply
by selecting the appropriate aerodynamic theory. In the linear case assumed throughout this
guide, the solution involves a series of complex eigenvalue solutions; the eigenvalue problem to
be solved depends on the way in which the aerodynamic loads are included in the equations of
motion or whether certain damping terms are included.
The manner in which the aerodynamic loads are included depends on how the dimensionless
oscillatory aerodynamic coefficients are defined. When Theodorsen (1935) first developed the
American method (K-method) of flutter analysis, he introduced the aerodynamics into a
vibration analysis as complex inertial terms and the flutter analysis became a vibration analysis
requiring complex arithmetic. At the same time, he introduced an artificial complex structural
damping, proportional to the stiffness, to sustain the assumed harmonic motion. Flutter analysis
is then a double eigenvalue problem in frequency and velocity, and an iterative solution, using
the reduced frequency of the assumed harmonic motion as the iteration parameter, leads to the
neutrally stable conditions (flutter frequencies and velocities) at which no artificial damping is
required. The artificial damping is therefore seen not to be physically meaningful, other than,
perhaps, at speeds near flutter speeds.
At about the same time, Frazer and Duncan (1928) in England were attempting to solve the
flutter problem using aerodynamic stability derivatives in the tradition of Bryan (1911) who had
studied the flight mechanics of rigid aircraft. This approach introduced the aerodynamic loads
into the equations of motion as frequency dependent stiffness and damping terms. In this
representation it should be noted that the aerodynamic terms are slowly varying functions of the
reduced frequency, in contrast to the representation of the aerodynamics in the K-method as
mass terms that are highly dependent on the reduced frequency. In what has become known as
the “British” method of flutter analysis some iteration is still necessary to “line-up” the
eigenvalue solution for frequency with the reduced frequency in each mode. A description of the
British method and a comparison with the American method has been given by Lawrence and
Jackson (1970). A variation of the British method in which the aerodynamic loads are treated as
complex springs has been developed by Hassig (1971). Hassig called his method the p-k method,
and MSC.Nastran has adopted his terminology, although it is now applied to the British method.
The MSC.Nastran terminology is K-method for the American method, and PK-method for the
British method. MSC.Nastran also has a very efficient K-method, called the KE-method, but it
does not provide eigenvectors and has no provisions for viscous damping type terms, such as
arise in an automatic control system in the equations of motion.
Generalized Aerodynamic Matrices
Eq. 2-4 defines an aerodynamic influence coefficient matrix Q kk that is computed based on the
aerodynamic model. For this matrix to be useful in a flutter analysis, two transformations have
to take place:
1. The matrices have to be applied to the structural model using the spline techniques
discussed in “Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” on page 93.
2. A modal reduction has to be applied to obtain the matrices in generalized form.
Main Index
66
Mathematically, those transformations can be expressed as
T T
[ Q ii ] = [ φ ai ] [ G ka ] [ WTFACT ] [ Q kk ] [ G ka ] [ φ ai ] Eq. 2-102
where:
Q ii = the generalized aerodynamic matrix
φ ai = a matrix of i-set normal mode vectors in the physical a-set
G ka = the spline matrix of Eq. 2-22 reduced to the a-set
WTFACT = the same weighting matrix as W kk defined following Eq. 2-21
A level of complexity is added if the flutter analysis includes the use of extra points. Extra points
are used for the representation of control systems and are therefore required in aeroservoelastic
analyses. If the extra point deflections result in displacements of the aerodynamic model, the
user is required to provide the downwash information explicitly on two DMI entries:
{ w j } = [ D1JE + ik D2JE ] { u e } Eq. 2-103
where [ ue ] is a vector of extra point displacements, D1JE and D2JE are the required matrices,
and w j is the resulting downwash.
Generalized aerodynamics for these extra points can be computed as
T T
[ Q ie ] = [ φ ai ] [ G ka ] [ WTFACT ] [ Q ke ] Eq. 2-104
where, similar to Eq. 2-4,
–1
[ Q ke ] = [ WTFACT ] [ S kj ] [ A jj ] [ D1JE + ikD2JE ] Eq. 2-105
The flutter analysis then uses a merged matrix:
Q ii Q ie
[ Q hh ] = Eq. 2-106
0 0
where the h-set is a combination of the i-set normal modes and the e-set extra points. It is seen
that the lower e-set rows in the matrix are null. Physically, this indicates that the normal mode
deflections do not produce aerodynamic forces on the extra points ( Q ei = 0 ) and that the extra
point deflections do not produce aerodynamic loads on the extra points ( Q ee = 0 ) .
Interpolation of Qhh
In a typical flutter analysis, the computation of the aerodynamic matrices and the subsequent
processing of these matrices to generate the generalized aerodynamic matrices of the previous
subsection represents a significant portion of the computer resources required to perform the
analysis. These matrices are generated for discrete values of Mach number and reduced
Main Index frequency. As detailed in the flutter algorithm discussions to follow, the actual flutter analysis is
CHAPTER 2 67
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
likely to be performed at reduced frequencies (and sometimes Mach numbers) other than one of
the available values. These intermediate values are obtained from an interpolation of the
available values, and three separate interpolation schemes have been implemented in
MSC.Nastran. The first two are available for the K- and KE-flutter methods and are special
applications of the linear and surface spline. The third is used with the PK-flutter method and is
a linear spline method that has been further tailored to aerodynamic applications. For the
purpose of this discussion, the three methods are designated (1) linear spline, (2) surface spline,
and (3) special linear spline.
Linear Spline
The linear spline of “Interconnection of the Structure with Aerodynamics” on page 41 is
applied to the aerodynamic interpolation task with the spline axis representing reduced
frequency values. The torsion terms are ignored in this case, as are the options of attaching
springs. Under these circumstances, the interpolation can be written as:
nhdpts
Q hh ( k INT ) = ∑ C j Q hh ( k j ) Eq. 2-107
j = 1
where C j is determined from
–1
{C} = [A] {B} Eq. 2-108
and [ A ] is a symmetric nhdpts + 2 matrix with

ki – kj

A ij = 12 Eq. 2-109
ki for i = nhdpts + 1, j ≤ nhdpts

k i – k INT

for i ≤ nhdpts
Bi = 1 for i = nhdpts + 1 Eq. 2-110
k INT for i = nhdpts + 2
Note that only the first nhdpts rows of the C vector are required in performing the interpolation.
Surface Spline
The surface spline of can be applied in the aerodynamic interpolation task with reduced
frequencies and Mach numbers taking the place of the x- and y-coordinates for this application.
Again, a number of simplifications can be made for this application, allowing for a terse
description of the interpolation algorithm. Eq. 2-107 and Eq. 2-108 can still be used to represent
the interpolation, A is now a symmetric nhdpts + 3 matrix with:

2 2 2
r ij = ( ki – k j ) + ( mi – mj )
2 2 2
Ri = ( k i – k INT ) + ( m i – m INT )
Eq. 2-113
As in the case of the linear spline, only the first nhdpts rows of the C vector [Eq. 2-107] are
required to perform the interpolation.
Special Linear Interpolation
The interpolation task can be thought of as a relatively minor task for the K- and KE-methods in
that the user defines the hard points and the interpolated points and can be expected to make a
reasonable selection. As detailed below, the PK-method computes the reduced frequency values
to which aerodynamics are to be interpolated without user intervention. This calls for a more
robust interpolation scheme. For the PK-method, the interpolation has the form
nhdpts
R i I
Q hh ( k est ) = ∑ C j Q hh ( k j ) + ---- Q hh ( k j )
kj
Eq. 2-114
j = 1
I I
where Q hh ⁄ k j
is fit rather than Q hh directly
since the former quantity is a smoother value of k
and because it is needed in the formulation of Eq. 2-128. Further, this makes the response data
symmetric with respect to a reduced frequency of zero and this “boundary condition” can be
applied in the interpolation. The C vector of Eq. 2-114 is

The K-Method of Flutter Solution
The basic equation for modal flutter analysis by the K-method is
– M hh ω + iB hh ω + ( 1 + ig ) K hh – --- ρV Q hh (m,k) { u h } = 0
2 1 2
Eq. 2-118

where:
M hh = modal mass matrix, usually (but not necessarily) diagonal
B hh = modal damping matri
K hh = modal stiffness matrix, usually (but not necessarily) diagonal; may be complex
(with actual structural damping); will be singular if there are rigid body modes
m = Mach number
k = reduced frequency = ωc ⁄ ( 2V )
c = reference length
Q hh (m,k) = aerodynamic force matrix, which is a function of parameters m and k
ω = circular frequency = 2πf
g = artificial structural damping
ρ = fluid density
V = velocity
u h = modal amplitude vector, sometimes called modal participation factors
Note that k , V , and ω are not independent.
For the K-method of solution, the aerodynamic term is converted to an equivalent aerodynamic
mass

Eq. 2-119
2 2k 1 + ig 1 + ig
The term involving B hh in Eq. 2-119 has been multiplied by 1 + ig for mathematical
convenience, and is valid only at flutter, i.e., when g = 0 . Eq. 2-119 is solved as an eigenvalue
problem for a series of values for parameters m , k , and ρ . The complex eigenvalue is
2
ω ⁄ ( 1 + ig ) , which can be interpreted as real values of ω and g . The velocity, V , is recovered
from V = ωc ⁄ 2k . Flutter occurs for values of m , k , and ρ for which g = 0 . The solutions are
not valid except when g = 0 , since the aerodynamic force terms are valid only for sinusoidal
motion and g is not a physical damping. A slight variation has been used with MSC.Nastran.
The equation is written as

The eigenvalue problem is expressed in a quadratic form in Eq. 2-111. The manner of solution
depends on which of the various complex eigenvalue methods available in MSC.Nastran is
selected by the user. For more information on the theory of complex eigenvalue analysis, see the
MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide (Komzsik, 1993, Section 7.1).
The K-method of flutter analysis is a looping procedure. The values of V , g , and = ω ⁄ 2π are
solved for various values of m , k , and ρ . Plots of V versus g can be used to determine the flutter
speed(s) (where g goes through zero to positive values).

CHAPTER 2 71
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
The KE-method of Flutter Solution
A more efficient K-method of flutter analysis is possible if the analyst is willing to neglect viscous
dampings from all sources, e.g., from the structure or a control system, and to restrict the
solution to eigenvalues and not require eigenvectors. The equation to be solved becomes Eq. 2-
120 with the term containing B hh deleted; note that complex structural damping may still be
included in K hh . Many of the operations can then be done in-core with a consequent increase in
efficiency. This efficient K-method algorithm is called the KE-method. With this increase in
efficiency, a greater number of points on a flutter stability curve can be obtained for a given cost,
and cases with poorly behaved stability curves can be studied more thoroughly. This method
gives results similar to those of Desmarais and Bennett (1974).
In order to sort the roots so that curves can be drawn, the roots must be ordered. For the first
value of k , the roots are accepted in the order output by the upper Hessenberg eigenvalue
subroutine. If we denote the i-th eigenvalue for the n-th reduced frequency k n by p i, n , we may
define an extrapolated eigenvalue as
(e)
p i, n = p i, n – 1 + ( k n – k n – 1 ) ( p i, n – 1 – p i, n – 2 ) ⁄ ( k n – 1 – k n – 2 ), Eq. 2-126
n = 2, 3, 4, …
in which p i, 0 is chosen equal to pi, 1 . Then the values of p i, n are ordered according to closeness
( e)
to pi, n where the “closeness” is measured by a minimum value of
(e) 2 (e) 2
[ Re ( p i, n – p i, n ) ] + [ Im ( p i, n – p i, n ) ] Eq. 2-127
With this sorting, the V-g and V-f curves produced using the MSC.Nastran NASPLOT utility can
be interpreted physically. The curves from the K-method, on the other hand, are extremely
difficult to interpret.
The PK-Method of Flutter Solution
The fundamental equation for modal flutter analysis by the PK-method is
M hh p + B hh – --- ρcVQ hh ⁄ k p + k hh – --- ρV Q hh { u h } = 0
2 1 I 1 2 R
Eq. 2-128

where the new terms are:

R = modal aerodynamic stiffness matrix, a function of Mach number, m , and reduced
Q hh
frequency, k
p = eigenvalue = ω ( γ ± i )
γ = transient decay rate coefficient (Note that the structural damping coefficient g = 2γ )
Main Index
72
R I
The matrix terms in Eq. 2-128 are all real. Q hh and Q hh are, respectively, the real and imaginary
parts of Q hh (m,k) . Note that the circular frequency and the reduced frequency are not
independent since k = ωc ⁄ 2V , and furthermore, that
k = ( c ⁄ 2V )Im ( p ) Eq. 2-129
For the PK-method of solution, Eq. 2-128 is rewritten in the state-space form with twice the
order.
[ A – pI ] { u h } = 0 Eq. 2-130
where [ A ] is the real matrix

[A] = –1 1 2 R –1 1 I
Eq. 2-131
– M hh K hh – --- ρV Q hh – M hh B hh – --- ρcVQ hh ⁄ k

and { u h } now includes both modal displacements and velocities. The eigenvalues of the real
matrix [ A ] ] are either real or complex conjugate pairs. Real roots indicate a convergence or
divergence as in the cases of the roll subsidence (rigid body) mode or a structural (torsional)
divergence mode. For the real roots, the damping is expressed as the decay rate coefficient,
which is the distance travelled (measured in chord lengths) to half (or double) amplitude.
g = 2γ
2pc Eq. 2-132
= -------------------
( ln 2 )V
However, the majority of the eigenvalues will be complex conjugate pairs. The oscillatory
solutions of Eq. 2-128 require an iterative solution so that Eq. 2-129 is satisfied along with Eq. 2-
128. The roll subsidence root or the static structural divergence roots require no iteration but are
found by setting k = 0 . The oscillatory rigid body (i.e., short-period or Dutch-roll) roots and
oscillatory roots are found from the following algorithm. This algorithm is based on a desire for
capability to determine stability at a given speed independently of the stability at lower or higher
speeds and the fact that the aerodynamic terms in Eq. 2-128 are slowly varying functions of the
reduced frequency.
R I
The iteration begins at k = 0 [ Q hh and Q hh ⁄ k are extrapolated to k = 0 from the available
values of Q hh (m,k) ] and all real roots immediately satisfy Eq. 2-129 but the complex roots do not.
The iteration for the complex roots then proceeds as follows. In general, let the complex pairs of
eigenvalues be written as
(j) (j) (j)
p rs = ω rs ( γ rs ± i ) Eq. 2-133
where r denotes the oscillatory mode number ordered by frequency ( ω 1s < ω2s < … ) , s denotes
the number of the oscillatory mode under investigation, and j denotes the iteration (eigenvalue
solution) number so that the next estimate of the (nonzero) reduced frequency is

p rs = ω rs ( γ rs ± i ) Eq. 2-136

ks – ks < ε for k s < 1.0, or < εk s for k s ≥ 1.0 Eq. 2-138
is satisfied. Eq. 2-136 and Eq. 2-137 begin the search for each of the higher modes of interest.
The eigenvalues and eigenvectors of Eq. 2-129 are found by a real version of the Upper
Hessenberg method described by Komzsik (MSC.Nastran Numerical Methods User’s Guide,
Version 68, Sect. 4.2.4). The order of calculations for different values of density, velocity and/or
Mach number is indicated in “Flutter Analysis” on page 117.
The principal advantage of the PK-method is that it produces results directly for given values of
velocity, whereas the K- and KE-methods require iteration to determine the reduced frequency
( c)
of flutter. In addition, the damping given by 2γ ss found from Eq. 2-136 is a more realistic
estimate of the physical damping than the parameter g in Eq. 2-132, which is a mathematical
artifice.

2.7 Dynamic Aeroelastic Analysis
Dynamic aeroelasticity differs from the flutter analysis of the previous section in that the right-
hand side of Eq. 2-118 is no longer zero. Instead, loading, which can be in either the frequency
or the time domain, is applied. For both types of loading, MSC.Nastran performs the primary
analyses in the frequency domain. If the user has supplied loadings in the time domain, Fourier
Transform techniques are used to convert the loadings into the frequency domain, a frequency
response analysis is performed and the computed quantities are transformed back to the time
domain using Inverse Fourier Transform techniques. This section first describes the frequency
response analysis that is the basis of all MSC.Nastran dynamic aeroelastic analysis and then
discusses the special topics of transient response analysis and random response analysis.
Aeroelastic Frequency Response Analysis
Aeroelastic frequency response analysis in MSC.Nastran is performed in modal coordinates and
has a basic equation of the form
2 1 2
– M hh ω + iB hh ω + ( 1 + ig )K hh – --- ρV Q hh ( m, k ) { u h } = { P ( ω ) } Eq. 2-139
2
where all terms on the left-hand side are identical to those of Eq. 2-118 and are defined with that
equation. The right-hand side provides the loading in modal coordinates, which can be
aerodynamic or nonaerodynamic in nature and is a function of the analysis frequency.
Nonaerodynamic generalized loads, designated PHF ( ω ) , are obtained in the standard fashion
from the loadings applied to physical coordinates [compare with Eq. (5-11) in the MSC.Nastran
Basic Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide (Blakely, Version 68)] and do not require further comment
here. The aeroelastic (gust) portion of the loading does require further comment that is similar
in nature to the discussion of the generalized aerodynamic matrices of the previous subsection.
A prerequisite to performing aerodynamic gust analysis is the availability of an aerodynamic
matrix that provides the forces on the aerodynamic elements due to an applied downwash at any
other element:
[ Q kj ] = [ S kj ] [ A jj ]
which can be transformed to modal coordinates using:
T
[ Q ij ] = [ φ ia ] [ G ka ] [ WTFACT ] [ Q kj ]
Since extra points cannot affect the gust loading, there are no generalized loadings associated
with them so that matrix Q hj (which provides the generalized loadings in the modal set) is
obtained by adding a null matrix onto the bottom of Q ij .
The Q hj matrix supplies the generalized aerodynamic forces due to the downwash vector at the
collocation points. For the matrix to be useful in the gust analysis, two other steps are required.
First, the Q hj and Q hh matrices must be interpolated to all the frequencies required in the
analysis from the discrete reduced frequencies at which the aerodynamics have been calculated.
Main Index
CHAPTER 2 75
Fundamentals of Aeroelastic Analysis with MSC.Nastran
This is done using the Specialized Linear Interpolation technique of the previous subsection
applied to the two matrices. The other step is the generation of the gust downwash matrix. This
is a function of frequency and the geometry of the aerodynamic model:
– iω ( x – x ) ⁄ V
i j o
w j ( ω i ) = cos γ j e Eq. 2-140
where:
ω i = excitation frequency
γ j = dihedral angle of the j-th aerodynamic element
x j = x-location of the j-th aerodynamic element in the aerodynamic coordinate system
x o = user-supplied offset distance for the gust
It is seen that this represents a one-dimensional gust field, i.e., the gust varies only in its x-
coordinate.
The generalized load due to the aerodynamic gust is then
{ PHF 2 ( ω ) } = qw g PP ( ω ) [ Q hj ] { w j ( ω ) } Eq. 2-141
where:
q = dynamic pressure
w g = gust scale factor
PP = user-supplied frequency variation of the gust. (This may also be obtained from a Fourier
transform of the user-supplied discrete gust.)
and the total frequency dependent loading applied in Eq. 2-139 is
{ P ( ω ) } = { PHF 2 ( ω ) } + { PHF ( ω ) } Eq. 2-142
The solution of Eq. 2-139 entails solving for the generalized displacements by
decomposition/forward-backward substitution techniques applied to the coupled set of
complex equations. Because modal reduction techniques have been applied, the solution costs
are typically modest. Once the generalized displacements have been computed, standard data
recovery techniques can be used to determine physical displacements, velocities, stress, etc.
Aeroelastic Transient Response Analysis
As discussed in the introduction to this section, Aeroelastic Transient Analysis relies on Fourier
transform techniques. Transient analysis by a Fourier transformation is separated into three
phases. First, the loads (defined as a function of time) are transformed into the frequency
domain. Second, the responses are computed in the frequency domain using the algorithm of the
preceding subsection. Third, these responses (in the frequency domain) are transformed back to
the time domain.
Main Index
76
Two forms of the transform are considered, the Fourier series and the Fourier integral, which are
defined using the following terminology.
The Fourier Series
The basic time interval is 0 < t < T , with the function periodic. The circular frequencies are given
by

continuous variable.

u j ( t ) = --- ∫ Re ( ũ ( ω )e )dω Eq. 2-150
π 0
Both methods must be implemented numerically, which requires approximations that the user
should appreciate. First, the inverse transform includes an infinite sum, for which only a finite
number of terms are evaluated numerically; this approximation leads to truncation errors. Next,
the inverse Fourier integral must be integrated numerically, which leads to integration errors.
Finally, the number of frequencies at which the integrand is evaluated is limited by the cost of
calculations. Each of these sources of error should be addressed separately by the user to ensure
adequate accuracy in the final results.

Transformation of Loads
The user specifies loads in the same manner as given in Section 6.4 of the MSC.Nastran Basic
Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide (Blakely, Version 68). The two general forms are the tabular,
piecewise linear function [Eq. 2-151 below] and the general purpose function [Eq. 2-156 below].
The transformation is given by Eq. 2-148, in which it is assumed that the user defines a function
which vanishes for t > T .
For piecewise linear tabular functions, a table of pairs x i , yi , i = 1 , N is prescribed, which defines
N – 1 time intervals. In addition, an X 1 shift and an X 2 scale factor are allowed. Thus, the time-
dependent load at point j is given by
t – τ j – X1
P j ( t ) = A j Y T ---------------------------- Eq. 2-151

where Y T is the tabular function supplied by the user-defined by the N pairs ( x i , yi ), and A j and

loaded. The transformed load is

These loads, which are in the form required for frequency response, are transformed to the
modal coordinates exactly as in the modal frequency response method.
Inverse Transformation of the Response
The response is found from a numerical approximation to Eq. 2-146 or from Eq. 2-143, the
Fourier series result, which can be regarded as a special form of approximation to the integral.
The quantity ũ ( ω ) is first calculated at a set of frequencies, ω i , by the frequency response
analysis. The ω i do not need to be equally spaced and the integral is evaluated only over the
frequency range for which the frequency response has been performed. The frequency response
is taken to be constant over the frequency interval resulting in a discrete inverse transform of the
form:

A special case occurs if all the frequency intervals are equal to ∆f and the first frequency is an
integer multiple of ∆f . In this case, the time step ∆t is adjusted to make 1 ⁄ ∆f∆t = an integer,
thereby reducing the number of distinct values of sin ω n t m and cos ω n t m used in Eq. 2-163, and
c n does not require recalculation at each frequency.
Practical Considerations for Use with the Fourier Methods
Some important practical considerations must be observed to use these methods successfully. To
illustrate one problem, consider the response of a simple damped oscillator to a pulse (Figure 2-
5). The upper three curves show the pulse and the response of the system, first, if it is very stable,
and then if it is only slightly stable. Using the Fourier method, the pulse is replaced by a series
of pulses with period 1 ⁄ ( ∆f ) . As can be seen, this gives an accurate representation if the system
is very stable, but an incorrect impression if the system is only slightly stable. Guidelines that
lead to valid results using the Fourier method include:
1. The system should be stable.
2. The forcing functions should be zero for some time interval to allow decay.
3. The frequency interval ∆f ≤ 1 ⁄ ( T pulse + T decay )

If the system has unstable modes, these will appear as a precursor before the pulse, just like a
“stable mode in reverse time.”
The use of both equal frequency intervals and unequal intervals has been studied briefly and
results are shown by Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979) for a lightly damped, single degree-
of-freedom oscillator. It has been found there that the combination of a few well-chosen values
near the resonant frequencies and a uniformly spaced set of frequencies elsewhere produces
reasonable results for the lightly damped example considered. However, further convergence
studies on more general examples are needed.

Random Response Analysis
The major loads to which an aerospace vehicle is subjected can be predicted for the most part
from its design mission and maneuvering requirements. However, the total environment cannot
be predicted exactly and statistical methods based on the theory of random processes must be
employed to complete the description. Examples of random processes in aeroelasticity include
response to atmospheric gusts and to aerodynamic buffeting. The random process theory
considered in MSC.Nastran is based on generalized harmonic analysis, i.e., frequency response
techniques, and assumes that the system is linear and that both the excitation and response are
stationary with respect to time.
A fundamental quantity in random analysis theory is the autocorrelation, R j ( τ ) , of a physical
variable, u j , which is defined by
1 T
Rj ( τ ) = lim --- ∫ u j ( t )u j ( t – τ )dt Eq. 2-164
T → ∞T 0
2
Note that R j ( 0 ) is the time average value of uj , which is an important quantity in the analysis
of structural fatigue failure. The power spectral density S j ( ω ) of u j is defined by
2 T – iωt 2
Sj ( ω ) = lim --- ∫ e u j ( t )dt Eq. 2-165
T → ∞T 0
It may be shown (using the theory of Fourier integrals) that the autocorrelation function and the
power spectral density are Fourier transforms of each other. Thus
1 ∞
R j ( τ ) = ------ ∫ S j ( ω ) cos ( ωτ ) dω Eq. 2-166
2π 0
from which the mean-square theorem follows
1 ∞
u j2 = R j ( 0 ) = ------ ∫ S j ( ω ) dω Eq. 2-167

Note: The factor 1 ⁄ ( 2π ) in Eq. 2-166 is omitted by some authors, or is sometimes replaced by
other factors. The value of the factor depends on the definition of Sj ( ω ) Eq. 2-165.
The expected value of the number of zero crossings with positive slope per unit time, or mean
frequency, is another quantity of interest for fatigue analysis and design of aircraft for gusts. This
mean frequency, N 0 , can be found from the power spectral density:

The transfer function theorem [see, e.g., Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, App. C)]
states that if H ja ( ω ) is the frequency response of any physical variable, u j , due to some excitation
source, Q a ( t ) , (e.g., a point force, or a distributed loading condition), so that if
u j ( ω ) = H ja ( ω )Q a ( ω ) Eq. 2-169
where u j ( ω ) and Q a ( ω ) are the Fourier transforms of u j ( t ) and Q a ( t ) , then the power spectral
density of the response, Sj ( ω ) , is related to the power spectral density of the source, S a ( ω ) , by
2
S j ( ω ) = H ja ( ω ) S a ( ω ) Eq. 2-170
Eq. 2-170 is an important result because it allows the statistical properties (e.g., the
autocorrelation function) of the response of a system to random excitation to be evaluated via
the techniques of frequency response.
If the cross-correlation function between any pair of sources
1 T
R ab ( τ ) = lim --- ∫ Q a ( t )Q b ( t – τ )dt Eq. 2-171
T → ∞T 0
is null, the sources are said to be statistically independent and the power spectral density of the
total response is equal to the sum of the power spectral densities of the responses due to
individual sources. Thus,
2
Sj ( ω ) = ∑ S ja ( ω ) = ∑ H ja ( ω ) S a ( ω ) Eq. 2-172
a a
If the sources are statistically correlated, the degree of correlation can be expressed by a cross-
spectral density, S ab , and the spectral density of the response may be evaluated from
∗
Sj( ω ) = ∑ ∑ H ja H jb S ab Eq. 2-173

∗
where H jb is the complex conjugate of H jb . Note that [ S ab ] is a Hermitian matrix, i.e.,
T ∗
[ S ab ] = S ab . Eq. 2-173 can be generalized for multiple responses to
T ∗
[ S ij ] = [ H ai ] [ S ab ] [ H bj ] Eq. 2-174
In applying the theory, it may not be necessary to consider the sources to be forces at individual
points. An ensemble of applied forces that is completely correlated (i.e., a loading condition)
may also be treated as a source. For example, a plane pressure wave from a specified direction
may be treated as a source. Furthermore, the response may be any physical variable including
internal forces and stresses as well as displacements, velocities, and accelerations.
In MSC.Nastran, random response analysis is treated as a data recovery procedure that is
applied to the results of a frequency response analysis. The frequency response analysis is
performed for loading conditions, { P a } , at a sequence of frequencies, ω i . Normal recovery

procedures are applied to the output of the frequency response analysis module [see the
MSC.Nastran Handbook for Dynamic Analysis, Section 4.5.2 (Gockel, Version 63)], resulting in a set
of output quantities, uj .
The calculation of power spectral densities and autocorrelation functions for the output
quantities is performed in the random response analysis module. The inputs to the calculation
are the frequency responses, H ja ( ω i ) , of quantities uj to loading conditions { P a } at frequencies
ω i and the auto- or cross-spectral densities of the loading conditions, S a or S ab . The response
quantities, u j may be displacements, velocities, accelerations, internal forces, or stresses. The
power spectral densities of the response quantities are calculated by Eq. 2-173 or by Eq. 2-170,
depending on whether the loading conditions are correlated or uncorrelated. At the user’s
option, the spectral densities due to all sources, assumed independent, may be combined by
means of Eq. 2-172.
The autocorrelation function is computed by the following approximation to Eq. 2-166.

2.8 Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization
Design sensitivity analysis is used to compute the rate of change, or first derivative, of a
particular response quantity with respect to a change in a given structural parameter, or design
variable. In MSC.Nastran, these responses may be computed using a number of analysis
disciplines: statics, normal modes, buckling, direct and modal frequency response, and modal
transient response. Static aeroelastic and flutter responses are first available in Version 68.
Static Aeroelastic Sensitivity
Static aeroelasticity can be considered a special case of standard static structural analysis with
the equilibrium equation
[K]{u} = {P} Eq. 2-182
In static aeroelasticity, the stiffness matrix contains inertial terms related to quasi-rigid body
accelerations and aerodynamic terms from the structural deformations and from the extra
degrees of freedom related to aerodynamic variables. The sensitivity of Eq. 2-182 is simply its
partial derivative with respect to a design variable x
[ K ] { ∆u } = { ∆P } – [ ∆K ] { u } Eq. 2-183
where ∆ is used to denote partial differentiation with respect to the design variable, i.e.,
∆ ≡ ∂ ⁄ ∂x . This sensitivity calculation can be performed in much the same way as the static
sensitivity analysis discussed by Moore in the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization
User’s Guide (Version 68). The details of the static aeroelastic sensitivity follow.
To explain the sensitivity analysis, it is useful to start from the static aeroelastic equations in the
g-set
u ··
K gg – qA gg – qA gx g + M gg 0 u g Pg

0 0 ux 0 0 0 0
The A matrices, which contain the aerodynamics, are not actually formed in the g-set in
MSC.Nastran but are shown here to initiate the following discussion.
The mean-axis condition that is used in static aeroelasticity [see Eq. 2-82] imposes additional
requirements on the sensitivity equation. This orthogonality condition is imposed in the a-set
and can be written as
T M ll M lr u l
D I = {0} Eq. 2-185
M rl M rr u r
If Eq. 2-182 is reduced to the a-set and coupled with Eq. 2-183 the basic equation for static
aeroelasticity is obtained [compare with Eq. 2-84].

··
{ PL g } = { ∆P g } – [ ∆K gg ] { u g } – [ ∆M gg ] { u g } Eq. 2-188
The first term on the right-hand size is the sensitivity of the applied loads to the design variables.
Gravity and thermal type loadings can be affected by the design variables. Note that
aerodynamic terms are not included in the load sensitivity equation since these terms are
invariant with respect to the design variables.
The DML term of Eq. 2-187 results from the variation of the mean-axis constraint of Eq. 2-185.
The D matrix of the latter equation in invariant with respect to the structural parameter changes
so that the sensitivity is simply
T M ll M lr ∆u l T ∆M ll ∆M lr u l DML l
D I = – D I ≡ Eq. 2-189
M rl M rr ∆u r ∆M rl ∆M rr u r DML r
This equation points to the requirement for a vector of the form
[ ∆M gg ] { u g } Eq. 2-190
Main Index
86
The reduction of the pseudoload to the a-set required for Eq. 2-187 follows standard reduction
techniques.
A key point is that the matrix on the left-hand side of Eq. 2-187 is the same as the left-hand matrix
of Eq. 2-186 so that operations already performed on this matrix as part of the analysis do not
have to be repeated for the sensitivity calculations.
In applying Eq. 2-187, there are three types of responses for static aeroelasticity for which
sensitivity analysis is supported and the sensitivity calculation varies slightly for each. The first
type is for the responses already available from static sensitivity, e.g., displacements, forces, and
stresses. The sensitivity of these responses is derived based on sensitivities of the elastic
deformations. These sensitivities are recovered from the ∆u l and ∆ur terms of Eq. 2-187 while
using the displacement and accelerations vectors that were computed during the recovery phase
of the trim analysis. A simplification results from the consideration that the static aeroelastic
solution is performed relative to SUPORTed degrees of freedom so that u r , and therefore ∆ur ,
are zero in the sensitivity equation.
The second type of response is for the TRIM variables. The sensitivities of these displacements
are obtained directly in Eq. 2-187 and as a prerequisite to the first type of response discussed
above.
The third type of response is for Stability Derivatives. These derivatives are independent of the
trim deformations and therefore require significant special code to accommodate their
sensitivity calculation. That is, pseudodisplacements (and accelerations) are required that
represent the deflections (and accelerations) that would occur if the aerodynamic extra point
associated with the stability derivative were deflected a unit value. The calculation also differs
depending on whether the user-requested stability derivative is restrained or unrestrained. In
the restrained case, the accelerations and the displacements of the SUPORTed degrees of
freedom are zero, whereas the unrestrained case has a complete set of displacements and
accelerations. Stated in equation form, the pseudoloads of Eq. 2-187 that are obtained for the
unrestrained derivatives are computed based on accelerations and displacements that result
from a solution of the equation

where the us superscript indicates that the ux variable and the response quantities are
associated with unrestrained stability derivatives. The u x vector has all of its rows set to zero
except for the row associated with the variable of interest, which has a value of unity. Once the
accelerations in the r-set and the displacements in the a-set have been computed, they can be
recovered to the g-set using standard recovery techniques.
The unrestrained stability derivative calculation can be viewed as the solution of the third row

where:

DUALP = [ KSALL ] [ DPSALU ] Eq. 2-201

[ DTMP1 ] = [ PLMAZ ] – [ M1RL ] [ DUALP ] Eq. 2-203

[ UDUR ] + [ M4RR ] [ UDURDD ] = [ DTMP2 ] Eq. 2-204
where:
–1
[ DTMP2 ] = [ M2RR ] [ DTMP1 ] Eq. 2-205
If the expression for UDUL from Eq. 2-200 is substituted into the third row of Eq. 2-194, then
[ K2RR ] [ UDUR ] + [ MSRR – KAZL ⋅ AMLR ] [ UDURDD ] = [ DIPZ ] Eq. 2-206
where:
[ DIPZ ] = [ PLZ ] – [ KAZL ] [ DUALP ] Eq. 2-207
Then the expression for UDUR from Eq. 2-204 can be substituted into Eq. 2-206 to give
[ MIRR ] [ UDURDD ] = [ PZF ] Eq. 2-208
where:
[ PZF ] = [ DIPZ ] – [ K2RR ] [ DTMP2 ] Eq. 2-209
Given UDURDD from Eq. 2-208, UDUR is recovered from Eq. 2-202 and UDUL is recovered
from Eq. 2-200. The dimensional stability derivative data are then calculated using
[ DSTABU ] = – [ KAZL ] [ UDUL ] – [ KAZR ] [ UDUR ] Eq. 2-210
The DSTABU vector is passed in to module DSARSN to compute the stability derivative
sensitivities.

The restrained stability calculations are greatly simplified since ur , u x , and u r are all invariant
in Eq. 2-187. Therefore, it is necessary only to solve for the sensitivity of ul . Eq. 2-187 then

The dimensional stability derivative vector is then computed using
[ DSTABR ] = – [ KAZL ] [ DUALS ] Eq. 2-212
Flutter Sensitivity
The flutter design capability has been developed based on two key considerations:
1. The PK-flutter method is the most appropriate for flutter design.
2. The damping values obtained from the PK-flutter analysis are the most appropriate
design responses.
The PK-flutter method performs the flutter analysis at user-specified velocities and is therefore
ideal in a design task in that it allows the user to focus on a particular velocity range. The K- and
KE-flutter methods, on the other hand, perform the flutter analysis at user-specified reduced
frequencies with little control over the associated velocities.
The selection of damping values on the design response conforms to the design specifications
that are applied to the flutter behavior of air vehicles. Further, the tedious and error-prone
process of determining the flutter velocity is avoided with this approach. Finally, by
constraining the damping values over a range of frequencies, the possibility of “hump modes”
is addressed.
The eigenvalue problem for flutter is given in Eq. 2-128, as
M hh p + B hh – --- ρcVQ hh ⁄ k p + K hh – --- ρV Q gg { u h } = 0
2 1 I 1 2 R
Eq. 2-213
4 2
The terms necessary for the constraint conditions and the derivation of the sensitivity are
defined again here: these are the frequency ω , the transient decay rate coefficient γ (Note that
the structural damping coefficient g = 2γ ), and the complex eigenvalue p = ω ( γ + i ) = pR + p r .
The design response that is used in MSC.Nastran to address flutter instabilities is the decay
coefficient γ . The sensitivity calculation for ∆γ is conceptually straightforward, but is
algebraically intense. From the relations γ = p R ⁄ ω and p I = ω , the derivative is expressed in
terms of the real and imaginary parts of the eigenvalue as
1
∆γ = ---- ( ∆p R – γ∆p I ) Eq. 2-214
ω
It remains to determine the sensitivities of the real and imaginary parts of the eigenvalue. The
formulation to be used requires the definition of additional notation:
{ v g } = [ φ gh ] { v h } Eq. 2-215
is the left eigenvector in the global set,
{ u g } = [ φ gh ] { u h } Eq. 2-216
is the right eigenvector in the global set, and

The F gg matrix is shown in order to lead the discussion. Aerodynamic matrices are not available
in the g-set and the discussion will show that they are not needed. The left eigenvector of Eq. 2-
213 is required in the sensitivity analysis, which points out a requirement for an eigenvector
extraction in the sensitivity phase that is in addition to the aeroelastic calculations currently
performed. This is a relatively straightforward calculation since the eigenvalues of a matrix and
its transpose are identical.
Eq. 2-213 can be recast as:
T
[ φ gh ] [ F gg ] [ φ gh ] { u h } = 0 Eq. 2-218

The term containing { ∆u h } , the eigenvector sensitivity, is neglected in the following. This is
equivalent to assuming that the normal mode eigenvectors adequately span the space over
which the flutter responses vary.

By writing the expressions in the g-set, the sensitivities of the mass, damping, and stiffness
matrices are available.
The computation of the sensitivities of the aerodynamic matrices is straightforward since the
matrices are a function only of Mach number and reduced frequency. The Mach number is
invariant in the calculation while the reduced frequency can vary. For the aerodynamic
sensitivity calculation, it is convenient to introduce the following notation:
RQ hh = Re ( Q hh ) Eq. 2-222

∆IQ hh = ---------------- ∆k Eq. 2-225

where ∆k = cIm ( ∆p ) ⁄ ( 2V ) . To be rigorous, it should be noted that
T T
∆RQ hh ≡ Re ( { v g } [ G kg ∆Q kk G kg ] { u g } ) . A similar result applies to ∆IQ hh .
The sensitivity of the aerodynamic matrix with respect to the reduced frequency can be
computed analytically based on the spline fit used for matrix interpolation. This fit expresses the
aerodynamics as the weighted sum of invariant matrices, with the weighting functions a cubic
function of the reduced frequency.
Eq. 2-221 can then be written as:

Eq. 2-226 is a complex scalar equation with the complex ∆p as the single unknown. The equation

All the matrices in these equations are real so that the scalar relationships are also real. The
solution of Eq. 2-238 leads to ∆p R and ∆p I which are substituted into Eq. 2-214 to obtain the
desired sensitivities.

Optimization with Aeroelastic Constraints
The foregoing aeroelastic sensitivities are calculated for each design variable, along with other
structural sensitivities, in SOL 200 of MSC.Nastran. When the constraints are all specified,
aeroelastic and otherwise, a specific objective (cost) function, e.g., weight, can be minimized via
the optimization procedures in SOL 200 [see the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization
User’s Guide Moore (Version 68) and Vanderplaats (1984)]. Guidelines for selection of aeroelastic
design variables and constraints are presented in “Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” on
page 93. Example problems illustrating optimization for strength and aeroelastic characteristics
are presented in “Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization” on page 661.

3.1 Overview
The MSC.Nastran aeroelastic analysis and design capabilities are intended for the study of
stability and response of aeroelastic systems. They are compatible with the general structural
analysis and design capabilities of MSC.Nastran. The structural part of a problem is modeled
following guidelines in the MSC.Nastran Linear Static Analysis User’s Guide (Caffrey and Lee,
Version 68) and the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamics User’s Guide (Blakely, Version 68). This section
deals primarily with aerodynamic data and the connection between structural and aerodynamic
elements as well as the methods for stability and response analysis and design. Some discussion
of both structural and aerodynamic modeling is also included with the example problems in
“Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems” on page 179 through “Aeroelastic Design
Sensitivities and Optimization” on page 661.
“Aerodynamic Modeling” on page 95 deals with the aerodynamic data. The selection of a good
aerodynamic model depends upon some knowledge of the theory (see “Aerodynamic
Theories” on page 30). Several aerodynamic theories are available; all assume small amplitude,
quasi-steady or sinusoidal motions. Transient aerodynamic loads are obtained by Fourier
methods.
“The Interpolation from Structural to Aerodynamic Models” on page 112 deals with the
interpolation from structural to aerodynamic degrees of freedom, and the interpolation methods
include both linear and surface splines. These methods are usually superior to high-order
polynomials because they tend to give smoother interpolations since they are based upon the
theory of uniform beams and plates of infinite extent.
“Static Aeroelastic Analysis” on page 115 describes static aeroelastic analysis. The trim
solution is obtained only in quasi-steady equilibrium at subsonic or supersonic speeds. Static
and dynamic aerodynamic stability derivatives, as well as aerodynamic and structural loads, are
also obtained along with structural element stresses and deflections. Aeroelastic divergence
speeds of restrained vehicles may be found from the K- or KE-methods of modal flutter analysis,
or they may be obtained from a special purpose static aeroelastic option. Divergence and flutter
speeds of any vehicle may always be determined by the PK-method of flutter analysis.
“Flutter Analysis” on page 117 describes modal flutter analysis by the three available methods:
the American (K) method, a streamlined version of the American method (KE), and the British
(PK) method. After a vibration analysis, the flutter frequencies and dampings are obtained as
functions of the velocity, and the relative modal amplitudes are found, except in the KE-method.
The physical displacements in the vibration modes are also available for output.
“Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis” on page 121 gives instructions for modal dynamic
aeroelastic response analyses. These include frequency response, transient response, and
random response analyses. The excitation may consist of applied mechanical forces using any
aerodynamic theory or gusts with the Doublet-Lattice and ZONA51 theories only. The response
parameters can include loads, stresses, and displacements.
“Aeroelastic Design Sensitivity and Optimization” on page 124 provides guidance for adding
static aeroelastic and flutter constraints to the MSC.Nastran optimization design procedure
(SOL 200).

3.2 Aerodynamic Modeling
Aerodynamic elements are regions of lifting surfaces or bodies. Since the elements occur in
regular streamwise arrays, the aerodynamic connection (CAEROi) Bulk Data entries have been
designed to specify these arrays. The aerodynamic grid points associated with the elements in
an array are generated internally in the program. Spline methods are used to interpolate
aerodynamic grid point deflections to structural grid points.
For every aerodynamic problem, pertinent basic flight and geometric parameters are specified
on one of two Bulk Data entries: the AEROS entry is used in static aeroelastic analysis, and the
AERO entry is used in dynamic analysis. A rectangular aerodynamic coordinate system must
be identified. The flow is in the positive x-direction in this system and parallel to the plane of
the aerodynamic elements. The use of symmetry (or antisymmetry) is available to analyze
structures that have both stiffness and inertial symmetry, to simulate ground effects, and to
simulate wind tunnel wall effects. Any consistent set of units can be used for the dimensional
quantities.
The types of elements available are shown in Table 3-1. Every CAEROi entry must reference an
aerodynamic property (PAEROi) data entry that is used to list additional parameters.
Tabulations of numbers or other defining parameters are sometimes required, depending on the
selected aerodynamic method, and these are listed on AEFACT entries. These lists include
division points (for unequal box sizes) and a variety of other parameter values.

The configuration is divided into planar trapezoidal panels (macro-elements), each with a
constant dihedral and with sides parallel to the airstream direction. These panels are further
subdivided into "boxes" (see Figure 3-1), which are similarly configured trapezoids. The
following are guidelines that are not enforced by the program; the user is expected to ensure
adherence to these rules.
If a surface lies in (or nearly in) the wake of another surface, then its spanwise divisions should
lie along the divisions of the upstream surface. The strips near the intersection of intersecting
surfaces should have comparable widths. The aspect ratio of the boxes should approximate
unity; less than three is acceptable in the subsonic case, and of order one is desirable in the
supersonic case. The chord length of the boxes should be less than 0.08 times the velocity
divided by the greatest frequency (in Hz) of interest, i.e., ∆x < 0.08V ⁄ f (Note that this is a
requirement for approximately 12 boxes per minimum wavelength; however, no less than four
boxes per chord should be used.) Boxes should be concentrated near wing edges and hinge lines
or any other place where downwash is discontinuous and pressures have large gradients. [Note
that concentrating boxes near hinge lines is a requirement of Potential Theory (which neglects
viscous effects); not increasing the concentration of boxes near hinge lines lowers the calculated
control surface effectiveness and leads to closer agreement with experimental data (with the
added benefit of reduced computational time).] The chord lengths of adjacent boxes in the
streamwise direction should change gradually. A further discussion of the choice of models is
found in Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979).

Figure 3-1 An Aerodynamic Doublet-Lattice/ZONA51 Panel Subdivided into Boxes
Aerodynamic panels are assigned to interference groups. All panels within a group have
aerodynamic interaction. The purpose of the groups is to reduce the computational effort for
aerodynamic matrices when it is known that aerodynamic interference is important within the
group but otherwise is negligible or to allow the analyst to investigate the effects of aerodynamic
interference.
Each panel is described by a CAERO1 Bulk Data entry. A property entry PAERO1 may be used
to identify associated interference bodies in the subsonic case; if there are no bodies in a subsonic
case, or in a supersonic case, a dummy PAERO1 entry is still required. A body should be
identified as a member of the group if the panel is within one diameter of the surface of the body.
The box divisions along the span are determined either by specifying the number of equal boxes
NSPAN, or by identifying (by LSPAN), the AEFACT data entry that contains a list of division
points in terms of fractions of the span. A similar arrangement is used to specify divisions in the
chordwise direction by choosing NCHORD or LCHORD. The locations of the two leading edge
points are specified in the coordinate system (CP) defined by the user (including basic). The
lengths of the sides (chords) are specified by the user, and they are in the airstream direction (i.e.
parallel to the x-axis of the aerodynamic coordinate system specified on the AERO or AEROS
Bulk Data entry). Every panel must be assigned to some interference group (IGID). If all panels
interact, then IGID must be the same for all panels.
Aerodynamic Grid Points. There is an aerodynamic grid point with its associated degrees of
freedom in plunge and pitch for each box within a given panel. These points are located at the
center of each box and are automatically numbered and sequenced by the program. The lowest
aerodynamic grid point number for a given panel is automatically assigned the same number as
specified for the panel ID field on the CAERO1 entry starting with the box connected to point 1.
The grid point numbers increase in increments of 1 (see the CAERO1 Bulk Data entry
description) first in the chordwise direction and then spanwise over all boxes in the panel. The
Main Index
98
user must be aware of these internally generated grid points and ensure that their numbers are
greater than any structural grid, scalar, and extra point IDs. The reason for this is that these
aerodynamic points are used for output including displacements, plotting, matrix prints, etc.
The local displacement coordinate system has component T1 in the flow direction and
component T3 in the direction normal to the panel in the element coordinate system defined on
the CAERO1 entry.
Slender and Interference Bodies
In subsonic problems, bodies are idealized as "slender" and "interference" elements in
combination. The primary purpose of the slender body elements is to account for the forces
arising from the motion of the body, whereas the interference elements are used to account for
the interference among all bodies and panels in the same group. This is done by providing a
surface through which the boundary condition of no flow is imposed. Bodies are further
classified as to the type of motion allowed. In the aerodynamic coordinate system, y and z are
perpendicular to the flow. In general, bodies may move in both the y- and z-directions.
Frequently, a body (e.g., a fuselage) lies on a plane of symmetry and only z- (or y-) motion is
allowed. Thus, any model may contain z-bodies, zy-bodies, and y-bodies. One or two planes of
symmetry or antisymmetry may be specified. Figure 3-2 and Figure 3-3 show an idealization
with bodies and panels. This example is the one used to illustrate the Doublet-Lattice program
in Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972b, pp. 19-42). It has a fuselage, a wing, a pylon, and a
nacelle.

The PAERO1 Bulk Data entry lists the IDs of all the bodies that are associated (i.e., interfere) with
a given Doublet-Lattice panel (CAERO1 entry). The CAERO2 entry specifies the geometry and
divisions for the slender body and interference elements. The PAERO2 entry provides
orientation and cross-section data for the slender body and interference elements as well as the
sampling data to account for the residual flow discussed later. The location of the body nose and
the length in the flow direction are given. The slender body elements and interference elements
are distinct quantities and must be specified separately. At least two slender body elements and
one interference element are required for each body. The geometry is given in terms of the
element division points, the associated width, and a single height-to-width ratio for the entire
body length. The locations of the division points may be given in dimensionless units or, if the
lengths are equal, only the number of elements need be specified. The body may be divided
along its length unequally to characterize the lift distribution, noting that Slender Body Theory
gives a lift proportional to the rate of change of cross-section area. Shorter elements should be
chosen at the nose where the area is changing rapidly; longer elements can be used along
cylindrical regions where the area is constant and intermediate length elements can be used in
transition regions. The semiwidths of the slender body at interference element boundaries can
be specified separately and are given in units of length. Usually the slender body semiwidth is
taken as zero at the nose and is a function of x , while the interference body semiwidth is taken
to be constant.
Main Index
CHAPTER 3 101
Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran
The interference elements are intended for use only with panels and/or other bodies, while
slender body elements can stand alone. Grid points are generated only for the slender body
elements. The first grid point is assigned the ID of the body corresponding to the element at the
nose and other grid points are incremented by one. The user must ensure that the IDs of these
generated grid points are greater than any structural grid, scalar point, and extra point ID in the
model, and greater than any other aerodynamic grid point ID.
There are some requirements about bodies that have been imposed to simplify coding. All z-
only bodies must have lower ID numbers than zy-bodies, which, in turn, must have lower ID
numbers than y-only bodies. The total number of interference elements associated with a panel
is limited to six. The user should be cautious about the use of associated interference bodies since
they increase computational effort significantly.
A brief review of the Method of Images (and its approximations) follows before the
implementation of the method in MSC.Nastran is discussed.
The interference elements provide the basis for the internal image system that cancels most of
the effects of the trailing vortices from the lifting surfaces. Because of the two-dimensional basis
for this approximation (Thompson's Circle Theorem in Hydrodynamics), the body surface has
been approximated by a constant elliptical cross-section cylinder called the interference tube,
and it is this cylindrical tube that is divided into the interference elements. All panels that
intersect a body must be attached to the interference tube. Image locations are computed from
the semi-width of the interference tube for all lifting surfaces associated with the body. The
image is only computed if it lies between the front of the first interference element and aft of the
last interference element for the associated body. Shorter interference elements are placed in
regions of substantial interference, e.g., near the wing-fuselage intersection; longer interference
elements are placed in regions of less interference, and, of course, no elements are necessary
where interference may be neglected. An image is only computed if it lies between the front of
the first interference element and the rear of the last interference element for the associated body.
The division of the interference tube into interference elements is independent of the division of
the body into slender body elements; the longitudinal locations of their end points are
independent, although they can be chosen to be the same for convenience.
There is a residual flow "through" the body surface because the image system, being based on
two-dimensional considerations, only partially cancels the flow through the body surface. It
does not compensate for the effects of the bound vortices on the lifting surfaces or other bodies.
Additional unknown "residual" doublets are located along the axis of the body, and, when
determined, are added to the known doublet strengths of the slender body elements. The
residual flow is calculated by "sampling" the vertical or side velocity components from the net
effect of the surface, slender body, and image vortices or doublets. The sampling is performed
at various angular positions around the periphery of the elliptical interference tube at the end
points of the interference elements. Two sampling patterns can be specified: the first might be
dense for a region of strong interference, the other might be sparse for a region of weak
interference (or the roles of the two may be interchanged). The strengths of the "residual"
doublets are then determined to cancel the net velocity.
Main Index
102
The calculation of the velocity field induced by the residual doublets requires knowledge of the
geometry of the cross section of the slender body at the end points of the interference elements.
However, experience shows that the residual flow is small compared to the slender body flow
field so that the residual flow need not be represented accurately. This permits the further
approximation of simply using the geometry of the constant cross-section interference tube in
the calculation of the velocities induced by the residual doublets.
The contents of the various fields of the CAERO2 and PAERO2 data entries may now be
summarized. The CAERO2 entry defines the slender body element end points and the
interference body end points, the coordinates of the body nose, and the body length. The
PAERO2 entry defines the cross-sectional properties of the slender body and the interference
tube: ORIENT specifies the direction(s) of motion; WIDTH is the half-width of the interference
tube; AR is the body/tube aspect ratio (height/width); LRSB points to an AEFACT entry that
lists the slender body half-widths at the end points of the slender body elements; LRIB points to
an AEFACT entry that lists the slender body half-widths of the end points of the interference
elements (note that because the residual flow is small, as discussed above, leaving LRIB blank
results in the velocities induced by the residual doublets being based on the interference tube
cross-section, specified by WIDTH and AR, without significant error, and is recommended);
LTH1 and LTH2 point to AEFACT entries that list the angles θ 1 and θ 2 (in degrees),
respectively, around the periphery of the elliptical interference tube at which the residual flow
velocity components are sampled and averaged, the first being the dense (or sparse) sampling
and the second being the sparse (or dense) sampling; finally, THIi and THNi list the first and last
interference element (numbering beginning at one for each body) to use the θ 1 -array.
A discussion of two related problems follows:
The requirement for a constant cross-section interference tube may require moving the stabilizer
(or wing); see Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972a, §2.5.8). MSC.Nastran can accommodate the
requirements by specifying a stabilizer coordinate system, two sets of GRID points for the (same)
stabilizer root and its fuselage connection, and MPCs constraining the motions of the two sets of
GRIDs to be the same. In this way, the structure can be modeled faithfully although the
aerodynamic model is only approximate. This is illustrated in “FSW Airplane with Bodies
(Example HA144F)” on page 294.
The idealization of a jet engine installation as a slender body results in a mass flow ratio through
the engine of zero, since there is no flow through the body. Idealizing the engine as a ring-wing
results in a mass flow ratio of unity, since all the flow goes through the tube. A typical mass flow
ratio is 0.7, so a ring-wing representation is more appropriate.
Mach Box Method
The supersonic lifting surface method for isolated surfaces that was originally included in the
Aeroelastic Addition to MSC.Nastran [Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979)] was a version of the
Mach Box method developed for the NASA Space Shuttle. It has been superseded in
MSC.Nastran by ZONA51 for multiple interfering surfaces, but has been retained in Version68
to retain upward compatibility and for users who do not have the ZONA51 option (Aero II).
Main Index
CHAPTER 3 103
Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran
Mach Box aerodynamics may be used to compute unsteady supersonic aerodynamic forces for
a planar, isolated wing at supersonic speeds. The surface (see Figure 3-4) may have a leading
and/or trailing edge crank. There may be one or two adjacent trailing edge control surfaces.
The "inboard" edge (side 1-2 on the CAERO3 entry) must be the plane of structural, mass, and
aerodynamic symmetry.
The geometry of the planform is specified on the CAERO3 data entry. The two leading edge
corners are located by the user. These, along with the flow direction, define the plane of the
element. Up to 10 additional points are permitted to specify cranks and controls; these points
are dimensional quantities using a coordinate system in the plane of the element and with its
origin at point 1.
The recommended minimum number of Mach boxes is 80. The recommended minimum
number in the flow direction is seven. The number of boxes in the flow direction is entered on
the PAERO3 entry. The number of spanwise boxes is determined within the program as
outlined in “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30 since the total number of boxes depends on the
Mach number, m , and will change for different Mach numbers. The number of Mach boxes in
the flow direction may be computed as follows:
x max
NBOX = Int --------------------------------- + 0.999
βy max
-------------------------
NSB – 0.5-
where:
β = 2
m –1
x max = maximum chordwise dimension
y max = maximum spanwise dimension
and Int( ) denotes the integer value of ( ), and NSB is the number of spanwise Mach boxes:
βy max
NSB = Int ------------------------------------------ + 0.5
x max
-----------------------------------
NBOX0 + 0.5-
where NBOX0 = initial number of boxes selected
In order to maintain aerodynamic matrices that are the same size for each m, k pair and that are
generated at the same physical location, the user must select a set of aerodynamic grid points
(also called control points in this case) to be used. On each aerodynamic surface there must be
at least three noncolinear control points and usually more than three points are required to
represent the modal deflections adequately. It is noteworthy that three noncolinear control
points provide sufficient geometric information for rigid body motion of the aerodynamic
surface. The CAERO3 entry selects the points by defining their geometric location on the wing.
These aerodynamic grid points are located using the coordinate system shown in Figure 3-4.
Main Index
104
The T3 component of these points is normal to the plane of the element. Additional lists of at
least three points are needed for each optional control surface that is included. These
aerodynamic grid points are numbered starting with the ID field of the CAERO3 entry, which
must be a larger ID number than any GRID, SPOINT, or EPOINT ID in the model. Interpolation
from the Mach box centers to determine deflections and slopes at these designated control points
is performed with surface spline routines within the program and requires no input from the
user.

The following restrictions apply to the Mach Box method:
1. The edge 1-2 is taken as a plane of structural, mass, and aerodynamic symmetry; either
symmetric or antisymmetric motions can be considered.
2. Both leading edge and hinge line sweepback angles must be greater than or equal to
zero.
3. If a leading edge crank is not present, then x 5 , y 5 do not have to be input.
4. If a trailing edge crank is not present, then x 6 , y6 do not have to be input.
5. A trailing edge crank cannot be located on the trailing edge of a control surface. It must
be located inboard of the inboard surface, outboard of the outboard surface, or exactly
at the junction between the two control surfaces.
6. All control surface side edges must be parallel to the flow or swept inward.
7. Points 8, 10, and 12 are used with Points 7, 9, and 11, respectively, to define the control
surface edge, and they must be distinct from Points 7, 9, and 11, but with one exception
they do not have to lie on the wing trailing edge. The program will calculate new
Points 8, 10, and 12 for the wing trailing edge. The exception is that Points 8, 10, or 12
must be located on the trailing edge if the trailing edge is cranked at the side edge of a

8. When only one control surface is present, it must be control surface one.
9. If the second control surface is not present, then x 11 , y 11 and x 12 , y 12 are not required
as input.
10. If no control surfaces are present, then x i , yi (i = 7 through 12) are not required as input.
11. No aerodynamic balance for the control surfaces has been included in the program.
12. The number of chordwise boxes used as input (NBOX) to the program should be
carefully selected to provide at least 80 boxes on the wing but NBOX cannot exceed 50.
Note that NBOX is the number of chordwise boxes between the most forward point
and the most aft point on the lifting surface, as shown in Figure 3-5.
13. If the maximum number of allowable boxes (500 on the main surface, 200 on each
control surface) is exceeded, the program will reduce the number of chordwise boxes
one at a time until the number of boxes is under the allowable limit.

Strip Theory
Modified Strip Theory can be used for unsteady aerodynamic forces on a high aspect ratio lifting
surface, although it is less accurate than the available lifting surface theories. Each strip may
have two or three degrees of freedom. Plunge and pitch are always used, and rotation of an
aerodynamically balanced control surface is optional. If a control surface is present, either a
sealed or an open gap may be used.
The planform (which may have several strips in one macro-element) is specified on a CAERO4
Bulk Data entry. A sample planform is shown in Figure 3-6. The user supplies the two leading
edge corner locations and the edge chords as dimensional quantities. Edge chords are assumed
to be in the flow direction. All additional geometry (box divisions, hinge locations, etc.) are
given in dimensionless units. Multiple CAERO4 entries may be used if there are several surfaces
or cranks.
A grid point is assigned to each strip, and is assigned an ID starting with the CAERO4 entry ID
and incrementing by one for each strip. The plunge (T3) and pitch (R2) degrees of freedom have
the conventional definition. When a control surface is present, the R3 degree of freedom has a
nonstandard definition, in the case of the relative control rotation. When interconnecting with
the structure, the ordinary (surface or linear) splines can be used for T3 and R2, but a special
method (see SPLINE3 data entry) is used for the relative control rotation.
The parameters such as the lift curve slope or the lag function may be varied to account
approximately for finite-span effects (three-dimensional flow) and Mach number by AEFACT
Bulk Data entry selection from PAERO4. The AEFACT Bulk Data entry format used by Strip

Theory is shown in the remarks on the PAERO4 Bulk Data entry. The user may request a
Prandtl-Glauert (compressibility) and/or a sweep correction to the value of the lift curve slope.
The lag function depends upon the local (i.e., using the chord of the strip) reduced frequency;
for incompressible flow, it is the Theodorsen function C ( k ) . An approximate form for this
function is given by

in which β 0 = 0 , and may be selected for computing variations on the Theodorsen function that

the user to select values suitable for the requirement. Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955,
pp. 350, 394) give values for various Mach numbers and aspect ratios.

Piston Theory
Piston Theory in MSC.Nastran is a form of strip theory taken from Rodden, Farkas, Malcom, and
Kliszewski (1962) who considered a rigid chord airfoil with an aerodynamically unbalanced
rigid control surface. The aerodynamic forces are computed from third-order Piston Theory,
2 2 2
which is valid for large Mach numbers m » 1 , or sufficiently high reduced frequency m k » 1 .
Although the latter condition may be met in subsonic flow, the primary application of Piston
theory is in high supersonic flow. The coefficients of the point-pressure function (relating local
pressure to local downwash) may be modified to agree with the Van Dyke theory for a rigid
chord and to account for sweepback effects. The resulting strip parameters will depend upon
Main Index
CHAPTER 3 109
Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran
the wing thickness distribution and spanwise variation of initial angle of attack, both of which
must be supplied by the user. If a control surface is present, it is assumed to have no
aerodynamic balance.
Geometry specification and interconnection points follow the same rules as for Strip Theory.
The additional information about angle of attack and thickness is input on AEFACT data entries
that are referenced by the CAERO5 and PAERO5 data entries. The AEFACT data entry formats
used by Piston Theory are shown in the Remarks on the PAERO5 data entry. If thickness
integrals are input on AEFACT data entries, they must be calculated according to the thickness
integral definitions on the CAERO5 data entry.
The effect of wing thickness is to move the local aerodynamic center forward of the midchord;
the effect of initial (trim) angle of attack is to move the local aerodynamic center aft toward the
midchord. Conservative flutter speed predictions should result if the angle of attack is assumed
to be zero.
Chordwise flexibility (camber) can be approximated using multiple CAERO5 entries. Two
examples (HA145G and HA145HA) illustrate this technique in “Flutter Analysis Sample
Problems” on page 339.
Ordering of J- and K-Set Degrees of Freedom
As detailed in “Aerodynamic Data Input and Generation” on page 28, the aerodynamic models
used in MSC.Nastran generate two sets of data, namely, the j-set and the k-set. Typically, the
user does not have a need to be able to determine which member of a matrix belongs to a
particular aerodynamic element. The Case Control commands for pressures and forces (APRES
and AEROF) are expressed in terms of the ID numbers input on the CAEROi entry. If, however,
the user has a need to manipulate matrices generated in MSC/lNASTRAN (e.g., to generate
running loads along a wing structure) the relationship between the matrix terms and the element
locations is required.
The order of both sets is driven by the ACPT data block (see “Selected Aeroelastic Data Blocks”
on page 175), each record of which corresponds to a CAEROi Bulk Data entry.
For Strip Theory and Piston Theory, the k-set and j-set degrees of freedom are two aerodynamic
points per strip (three per strip, if there is a control surface corresponding to: (1) plunge at the
strip quarter chord, (2) rotation at the strip quarter chord, and (3) rotation of the control surface.
Forces and moments are then (1) lift at the strip quarter chord, (2) pitching moment about the
strip quarter chord, and (3) hinge moment about the control surface hinge line.
For the Mach Box aerodynamic theory, the number of j- and k-set degrees of freedom are
identical and are equal to the number of user-defined structural interpolation points. Points on
the wing are given first, followed by points on the first (optional) controls surface, and then
points on the second (optional) control surface.
As detailed in “Aerodynamic Data Input and Generation” on page 28, the location of the j-set
and k-set degrees of freedom differ for the Doublet-Lattice and ZONA51 aerodynamic theories.
When the Doublet-Lattice method includes bodies, the number of degrees of freedom in the two
sets differs as well. Figure 3-7 provides the algorithm for determining k-set degrees of freedom
while Figure 3-8 provides the algorithm for determining j-set degrees of freedom.

3.3 The Interpolation from Structural to Aerodynamic Models
The interpolation from the structural to aerodynamic degrees of freedom is based upon the
theory of splines (Figure 3-9). High aspect ratio wings, bodies, or other beam-like structures
should use linear splines (SPLINE2). Low aspect ratio wings, where the structural grid points
are distributed over an area, should use surface splines (SPLINE1). Several splines can be used
to interpolate to the boxes on a panel or elements on a body; however, each aerodynamic box or
element can be referenced by only one spline. Any box or body element not referenced by a
spline will be “fixed” and have no motion, and forces on these boxes or elements will not be
applied to the structure. A linear relationship (like an MPC) may be specified for any
aerodynamic point using the SPLINE3 entry. This is particularly useful for control surface
rotations.
For all types of splines, the user must specify the structural degrees of freedom and the
aerodynamic points involved. The given structural points can be specified by a list (SET1) or by
specifying a volume in space and determining all the grid points in the volume (SET2). The
degrees of freedom utilized at the grid points include only the normal displacements for surface
splines. For linear splines, the normal displacement is always used and, by user option, torsional
rotations and/or slopes may be included.
Surface Splines. The SPLINE1 data entry defines a surface spline. This can interpolate for any
“rectangular” subarray of boxes on a panel. For example, one spline can be used for the inboard
end of a panel and another for the outboard end. The interpolated aerodynamic degrees of
freedom (k-set) are specified by naming the lowest and highest aerodynamic grid point numbers
in the area to be splined. The two methods for specifying the structural grid points use either
SET1 or SET2 data entries. A parameter DZ is used to allow smoothing of the spline fit. If
DZ = 0 (the recommended value), the spline will pass through all deflected grid points. If
DZ > 0 , then the spline (a plate) is attached to the deflected grid points via springs, which
produce a smoother interpolation that does not necessarily pass through any of the points. The
flexibility of the springs is proportional to DZ.

Figure 3-9 Splines and Their Coordinate Systems
Linear Splines. The SPLINE2 data entry defines a linear spline. As can be seen from Figure 3-
9, this is a generalization of a simple beam spline to allow for interpolation over an area. It
corresponds to the frequently used assumption of the “elastic axis” in which the structure is
assumed to twist about the axis such that the airfoil chord perpendicular to the axis behaves as
if it were rigid. The portion of a panel to be interpolated and the set of structural points are
determined in the similar manner as with SPLINE1. However, a coordinate system must also be
supplied to determine the axis of the spline; a coordinate system with its y-axis collinear with
Main Index

the spline axis is required. Since the spline has torsion and bending flexibility, the user may
specify the ratio DTOR of flexibilities for a wing as a representative value of EI ⁄ GJ ; the default
value for this ratio is 1.0. The attachment flexibilities, D z , D θx , and D θy allow for smoothing,
but usually all values are taken to be zero; when the attachment flexibilities are taken to be zero,
the spline passes through all of the connected grid points and the value of the ratio DTOR has
no effect. In the case where the structural model does not have one or both slopes defined, the
convention DTHX = – 1.0 and/or DTHY = – 1.0 is used. When used with bodies, there is no
torsion and the spline axis is along the body so that a user input coordinate system is not
required.
There are special cases with splines where attachment flexibility is either required or should not
be used. The following special cases should be noted:
1. Two or more grid points, when projected onto the plane of the element (or the axis of
a body), may have the same location. To avoid a singular interpolation matrix, a
positive attachment flexibility must be used (or only one grid point selected at that
location).
2. With linear splines, three deflections with the same spline y-coordinate overdetermine
the interpolated deflections since the perpendicular arms are rigid. A positive DZ is
needed to make the interpolation matrix nonsingular.
3. With linear splines, two slopes (or twists) at the same y-coordinate lead to a singular
interpolation matrix. Use DTHX > 0 (or DTHY > 0 ) to allow interpolation.
4. For some modeling techniques, i.e., those which use only displacement degrees of
freedom, the rotations of the structural model are constrained to zero to avoid matrix
singularities. If a linear spline is used, the rotational constraints should not be enforced
to these zero values. When used for panels, negative values of DTHX will disconnect
the slope, and negative values of DTHY will disconnect the twist. For bodies, DTHY
constrains the slopes since there is no twist degree of freedom for body interpolation.

3.4 Static Aeroelastic Analysis
Static aeroelastic analysis is intended to obtain both structural and aerodynamic data. The
structural data of interest include loads, deflections, and stresses. The aerodynamic data include
stability and control derivatives, trim conditions, and pressures and forces. The analysis
presupposes a structural model (both stiffness and inertial data), an aerodynamic model, and the
interconnection between the two.
The requirements for static aeroelastic analysis beyond those for the structural and aerodynamic
models are nominal. The Executive Control requires the statement SOL 144 to call for the Static
Aeroelastic Response DMAP sequence, SOL 144.
The stability derivatives are obtained as part of the solution process and are always printed if
there are “SUPORT”ed degrees of freedom. All other derived quantities of interest must be
requested in the Case Control: The subcase commands APRES = n and AEROF = n request
the aerodynamic pressures and forces for a set of aerodynamic grid points defined by n . The
flight conditions are specified for each SUBCASE on TRIM commands that involve TRIM Bulk
Data entries.
The AESTAT entries define the trim parameters, e.g., angle of attack α = ANGLEA , pitching
·· ·
velocity q = PITCH , normal acceleration z = URDD3 , and pitching acceleration q = URDD5
, in the longitudinal case. The trimming surfaces are specified on the AESURF entry; e.g., if the
elevator deflection, δ e = ELEV , is used to trim a symmetric flight condition, then both ELEV
and the aerodynamic boxes in the aerodynamic model that lie on the elevator are identified on
the AESURF entry. The reference geometry for the dimensionless stability derivatives and the
symmetry condition for the maneuver are specified on the AEROS entry. Finally, the flight
condition Mach number m and dynamic pressure q are specified on the TRIM entry along with
all trim parameters that are known from the maneuvering condition; e.g., a longitudinal
·· ·
maneuver may specify q , z , and q and the trim solution would then determine α and δ e .
The AELINK entry can be used to specify known relationships among AESTAT and AESURF
parameters. For example, inboard and outboard ailerons could be linked together in a schedule
specified by flight control engineers.
Experimental data can be included in the static aeroelastic analysis as discussed at the end of
“Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30. Provision has been made for the premultiplying diagonal
e
matrix [ Wkk ] . Provision has also been made for the experimental pressure coefficients { f j ⁄ q } to
be input as DMI with the name FA2J. The elements of WKK and FA2J are user-supplied data.
An initial incidence, camber or twist distribution is introduced in Eq. 2-2 as { w jg } for inclusion
in static aeroelastic analyses, and it can be input on DMI entries with the name W2GJ. The values
must be derived by the user at the aerodynamic grid points of all aerodynamic boxes (at the box
centerline midchord) and slender body elements (at the element midchord). No means of
interpolation have been provided.
Sample problems are presented in “Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems” on page 179
to illustrate static aeroelastic trim solutions for symmetric, antisymmetric, and unsymmetric
flight conditions.
Main Index

Divergence Analysis
The Static Aeroelastic Solution Sequence can also perform a divergence analysis. The analysis is
invoked by a DIVERG command in Case Control which, in turn, invokes a DIVERG Bulk Data
entry. The eigenanalysis of Eq. 2-101 is carried out using a complex eigensolver. A CMETHOD
Case Control command invokes an EIGC Bulk Data entry that specifies the attributes for the
eigenanalysis. The DIVERG Bulk Data entry allows the user to extract a desired number of
divergence pressures (typically one, since the second and higher pressures are not of practical
interest) for the Mach numbers given on the entry. Sample Case Control commands and Bulk
Data entries for a divergence analysis are given in Listing 3-1. The CMETHOD request invokes
a complex Lanczos eigenanalysis that asks for five roots to be extracted. The DIVERG Bulk Data
entry indicates that the analysis is to be performed using incompressible aerodynamics
( m = 0.0 ) and that five divergence roots are requested. Results from executing this input file
are given at the end of “Static Aeroelasticity” on page 143 in lieu of an example in “Static
Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems” on page 179.

3.5 Flutter Analysis
A flutter analysis determines the dynamic stability of an aeroelastic system. As noted in
“Introduction” on page 19, three methods of analysis are available: the American (K) method, a
restricted but more efficient American (KE) method, and the British (PK) method. The British
method not only determines stability boundaries but provides approximate, but realistic,
estimates of system damping at subcritical speeds that can be used to monitor flight flutter tests.
The system dampings obtained from the K- and KE-methods is a mathematical quantity not
easily related to the physical system damping. As with static aeroelastic analysis, flutter analysis
presupposes a structural model, an aerodynamic model, and their interconnection by splines.
The modal technique is used to reduce the number of degrees of freedom in the stability analysis.
It should be appreciated by the user that the use of vibration modes for this purpose constitutes
a series solution, and that a sufficient number of modes must be used to obtain convergence to
the required accuracy. An aspect of the modal method is a transformation of the aerodynamic
influence coefficients into modal coordinates. For computational efficiency, this transformation
is carried out explicitly for only a few Mach numbers (m) and reduced frequencies (k). These
generalized (modal) aerodynamic force coefficient matrices are then interpolated to any
additional Mach numbers and reduced frequencies required by the flutter analysis. Matrix
interpolation is an automatic feature of the program. The MKAERO1 and MKAERO2 Bulk Data
entries allow the selection of parameters for the explicit calculations of the aerodynamic
matrices.
Features of the three flutter methods are shown in . Because of the iterative nature of the PK-
method, the manner of convergence is frequently of interest to the user and can be seen by
specifying the diagnostic, DIAG 39, in the Executive Control Section.
The Case Control selects the flutter method on the FMETHOD command. It also selects the real
eigenvalue method on a METHOD command for use in finding the vibration modes and
frequencies for the modal flutter analysis. If the K-method of flutter analysis is to be used, a
CMETHOD command is also required to specify the complex eigenvalue method. Plot requests
may also be made in the Case Control for the frequency and damping versus velocity curves.
Brief descriptions of the K-, KE-, and PK-flutter methods follow, before the requirements of the
Bulk Data entries are summarized.

All methods allow looping through three sets of parameters: density ratio ρ ⁄ ρref ( ρ ref is given
on an AERO data entry), Mach number m, and reduced frequency k. For example, if the user
specifies two values of each, there will be eight analyses in the following order:

The K-method of flutter analysis considers the aerodynamic loads as complex masses, and the
flutter analysis becomes a vibration analysis using complex arithmetic to determine the
frequencies and artificial dampings required to sustain the assumed harmonic motion. This is
Main Index the reason the solution damping is not physical. When a B matrix is present, complex conjugate

pairs of roots are no longer produced. MSC.Nastran uses the CEAD module to extract all
requested roots but only selects roots with a positive imaginary part for the flutter summary
output.
alues for the parameters are listed on FLFACT Bulk Data entries. Usually, one or two of the
parameters will have only a single value. Caution: If a large number of loops are specified, they
may take an excessive time to execute. Multiple subcases can be specified to pinpoint particular
regions for study while controlling CPU resources.
The KE-method is similar to the K-method. By restricting the functionality, the KE-method is a
more efficient K-method. The two major restrictions are that no damping (B) matrix is allowed
and no eigenvector recovery is made. A complex stiffness matrix can be used to include the
effects of structural damping. The KE-method therefore cannot consider control systems in
which damping terms are usually essential, but it is a good method for producing a large
number of points for the classical V-g curve of a system without automatic controls. The KE-
method also sorts the data for plotting. A plot request for one curve gives all of the reduced
frequencies for a mode whereas a similar request in the K-method gives all of the modes at one
k value. Use of the alternative method for the specification of k (see the FLFACT Bulk Data
entry) is designed to produce well-behaved V-g curves for the KE-method.
The PK-method treats the aerodynamic matrices as real frequency dependent springs and
dampers. A frequency is estimated, and the eigenvalues are found. From an eigenvalue, a new
frequency is found. The convergence to a consistent root is rapid. Advantages of the method
are that it permits control systems analysis and that the damping values obtained at subcritical
flutter conditions appear to be more representative of the physical damping. Another advantage
occurs when the stability at a specified velocity is required since many fewer eigenvalue
analyses are needed to find the behavior at one velocity. The input data for the PK-method also
allows looping, as in the K-method. The inner loop of the user data is on velocity, with Mach
number and density on the outer loops. Thus, finding the effects of variations in one or both of
the two parameters in one run is possible.
The flight condition and remaining flutter control specifications are in the Bulk Data input. The
AERO entry gives the basic aerodynamic data. The MKAERO1 or MKAERO2 entries specify the
Mach number and reduced frequencies for which the generalized aerodynamic forces are
computed explicitly. The FLUTTER entry selects the method of flutter analysis and refers to
FLFACT entries for density ratios, Mach numbers, and reduced frequencies (K- and KE-
methods) or velocities (PK-method). The IMETH field on the FLUTTER entry specifies the
aerodynamic interpolation method. As discussed in “Dynamic Aeroelastic Analysis” on
page 74, the K- and KE-methods of flutter analysis allow the user to select a linear spline that
interpolates on reduced frequency for aerodynamic matrices at the Mach number closest to the
required Mach number, or a surface spline that interpolates on both Mach number and reduced
frequency. It is recommended that the linear spline be used in most cases. The PK-method only
supports the linear spline method. The EIGR entry selects the real eigenvalue method to obtain
the vibration modes and frequencies, and, if the K-method of flutter analysis is to be used, an
EIGC entry selects the complex eigenvalue method to obtain the flutter roots and modes. The
number of vibration modes computed is specified on the EIGR entry, but the number needed in
the flutter analysis should be determined by a convergence study. The parameters LMODES or
LFREQ and HFREQ can be used to select the number of vibration modes to be used in the flutter

analysis and can be varied to determine the accuracy of convergence. The NVALUE field on the
FLUTTER entry can be used to limit Flutter Summary output. Finally, the parameter
PARAM,VREF may be used to scale the output velocity. This can be used to convert from
consistent units (e.g., in/sec) to any units the user may desire (e.g., knots) as determined from
V out = V ⁄ ( VREF ) .
If physical output (grid point deflections or element forces, plots, etc.) is desired these data can
be recovered by using a Case Control command; for example, the physical displacements can be
obtained with the DISPLACEMENT case control command, DISP = ALL. A selected subset of
the cases can be obtained by the OFREQUENCY command. The selection is based upon the
imaginary part of the eigenvalue: velocity in the K- or KE-method, frequency in the PK-method.
Example problems that demonstrate the different methods of flutter analysis with the various
aerodynamic theories are presented in “Flutter Analysis Sample Problems” on page 339.

3.6 Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
The purpose of dynamic aeroelastic response analysis is to study the reactions of an aeroelastic
system to prescribed loads and displacements, and to atmospheric gust fields. The effects of a
control system can also be assessed if its equations (transfer functions) have been included in the
(aeroservoelastic) model. As in flutter analysis, the modal method is employed to reduce the
computational effort. SOL 146 can solve for frequency response, random response, and transient
response problems in the presence of an airstream. Examples of response problems in which
aerodynamic effects should usually not be neglected include high speed landing loads, in-flight
store ejection loads, and loads and accelerations in a gust field.
The analyses of frequency response, random response, and transient response without
aerodynamic effects are discussed in the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide
(Blakely, Version 68). That guide should be consulted as a reference for the frequency response
and random response analyses considered here. However, it only discusses transient response
analysis by direct integration methods, whereas Fourier transform methods are employed in
SOL 146 for aeroelastic response because the unsteady aerodynamic loads are calculated only in
the frequency domain.
MSC.Nastran utilizes two techniques in solving for the response to an enforced displacement:
one is the large mass method, and the other is the Lagrange multiplier method. Both methods
are also discussed in the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide. The Lagrange
multiplier method requires less judgment and is computationally efficient with a small number
of modes, so it is utilized effectively in some dynamic aeroelastic response analyses; it is
discussed in “Diagnostic Messages for Dynamic Analysis” on page 479 of the MSC.Nastran
Basic Dynamics User’s Guide.
The implementation in the Bulk Data Input for the various selections in the Case Control Section
is illustrated in the example problems of “Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis” on
page 581.
Frequency Response Analysis
A frequency response analysis is an integral part of random response analysis and transient
analysis, and it can be of interest in its own right to obtain transfer functions for designing
control systems. If only the frequency response is desired, the user must specify the frequency
content of the loading via the RLOADi Bulk Data entry. If the loading is more conveniently
specified in the time domain, specifically, on the TLOADi Bulk Data entry, the solution sequence
will lead to the transient response and the intermediate result of the frequency response will not
be output; a DMAP ALTER is required to output the frequency response data in this case.
The input data for a dynamic aeroelastic response analysis are similar to those required for a
flutter analysis. The Executive Control Section will include the SOL 146 command for the
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response sequence.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control is used to select constraints, methods, and
output. The METHOD command is required since it selects a method to compute the structural
modes and frequencies that provide the modal basis for the response analysis. Some form of
modal damping should be requested [see discussion of alternative representations of damping
Main Index
122
in “Reasons to Compute Normal Modes” on page 36 of the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamics User’s
Guide since all structures have some damping which can affect the results significantly. The
complex structural damping can be used here since it is consistent with the harmonic
assumptions of a frequency response analysis. A frequency selection FREQ is required, and
some form of excitation, either loading (e.g., direct loads, DLOAD) or enforced displacement, is
also required. The GUST Case Control command specifies a gust field. Output that can be
requested includes solution set displacements (amplitudes of modes and extra points), physical
displacements (grid points and extra points), constraint forces and aerodynamic loading,
element forces and stresses, and plots.
The user specifies the flight conditions in the Bulk Data Input. The same velocity is specified on
both the AERO and the GUST data entries if a gust response is desired, while Mach number and
dynamic pressure are supplied on the Bulk Data entries PARAM,MACH and PARAM,Q. The
FREQi entry defines the set of frequencies for which the frequency response is performed.
Random Response Analysis
For a random response analysis, the loading is specified in the frequency domain on the DLOAD
Case Control command in conjunction with RLOADi entries, or by an enforced motion. To
proceed with the random response analysis subsequent to the frequency response analysis, it is
only necessary to specify the power spectral density of the excitation. A prescribed random
loading is obtained by using the RANDOM Case Control command in conjunction with the
RANDPS and TABRND1 Bulk Data entries that specify the input excitation power spectrum.
For gust loading, the GUST Bulk Data entry specifies either the von Karman or Dryden spectrum
on the TABRNDG Bulk Data entry or a tabulated power spectrum that is input via the
TABRND1 Bulk Data entry. The output power spectral density is requested by the XYOUT plot
commands in Case Control. The root mean square values of each selected output response and
its expected frequency, N 0 , are automatically printed when output power spectra are requested.
Transient Response Analysis
For transient response analysis under a prescribed loading condition, the loading is specified on
the DLOAD Case Control command in conjunction with TLOADi entries or by an enforced
displacement. To proceed with the transient response analysis subsequent to the frequency
response analysis, it is only necessary to specify the time history of the excitation. For a
prescribed excitation, its time history is specified on a TLOADi entry. The output times are
specified by the TSTEP Case Control command and Bulk Data entry.
For transient response to a gust, the GUST Case Control command and Bulk Data entry augment
the DLOAD Case Control command. A dummy DLOAD request is necessary to force the
transient solution. The GUST Bulk Data entry now refers to a TLOADi entry that gives the gust
profile. The Bulk Data entry PARAM,GUSTAERO,-1 is necessary to generate the airloads
required for the gust load calculation. On a restart; the default value (+1) is recommended if no
new gust loads are to be computed. It Is also recommended that the gust aerodynamics be
calculated at the same time the aerodynamics for motion are calculated, i.e., include
PARAM,GUSTAERO,-1 in the initial flutter solution (SOL 145), so that all aerodynamics will be

available on the database for a restart in SOL 146. Generating gust aerodynamics along with
motion aerodynamics does not add significant cost, but generating them subsequently in a
restart requires repeating all of the aerodynamic calculations.

3.7 Aeroelastic Design Sensitivity and Optimization
The MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide contains a comprehensive
description of the MSC.Nastran design sensitivity and optimization capability. This section
contains supplementary information on the aeroelastic aspects of this capability and is divided
into subsections on analysis, response evaluation, sensitivity, and optimization.
Multidisciplinary Analysis
For an optimization procedure to be of maximum benefit, it must be able to simultaneously take
into account of all the conditions that impact the design. For this reason, the design sensitivity
and optimization capability in MSC.Nastran is based on a multidisciplinary analysis capability
that includes statics, normal modes, buckling, direct and modal frequency, modal transient,
static aeroelastic, and flutter analyses. The static aeroelastic and flutter analysis capabilities
present in the multidisciplinary analysis and design solution sequence (SOL 200) contain the full
capabilities of the static aeroelastic (SOL 144) and flutter (SOL 145) solution sequences. It is
necessary in SOL 200 to designate the type of analysis being performed for each subcase using
the ANALYSIS Case Control command. ANALYSIS = SAERO is used for static aeroelasticity,
while ANALYSIS = FLUTTER is used for flutter analysis.
Response Evaluation
For a sensitivity value to be computed, the user must designate it on a DRESP1 entry and either
constrain it on a DCONSTR entry or identify it as the design objective using the DESOBJ Case
Control command. Further, the DCONSTR set must be selected by either a DESSUB or a
DESGLB Case Control command. For static aeroelasticity, the DRESP1 entry can be used to
invoke standard static analysis responses, specifically, RTYPE = DISP, STRAIN, STRESS,
FORCE, CSTRAIN, CSTRESS, and/or CFAILURE, as well as two responses, RTYPE = STABDER
and/or TRIM, that are unique to static aeroelasticity. The STABDER response requests a
stability derivative response and therefore selects one of the components of an AESTAT or
AESURF aerodynamic extra point. The selected response type can correspond to a restrained or
unrestrained derivative (see “Static Aeroelasticity” on page 52), based on the value of the ATTB
field. The utility of this request is that it is possible to determine how a key aeroelastic
parameter, such as lift curve slope, C L , varies when a structural change is made. More
α
significant perhaps, it is possible to include design requirements on these stability derivatives in
a MSC.Nastran design optimization study.
The TRIM response on the DRESP1 entry requests a particular aerodynamic extra point by
referencing an AESTAT or AESURF entry ID. The associated response is the magnitude of the
aerodynamic extra point for the maneuver condition defined for the subcase. It is to be expected
that the sensitivity of this response to a particular structural parameter is small. The response
can have utility in limiting the range over which an aerodynamic value can vary during an
optimization task; e.g., by limiting an elevator rotation to be less than 20 degrees, therefore,
unrealistic designs can be precluded.
A final DRESP1 response type related to aeroelasticity is for flutter (RTYPE = FLUTTER). The
entry selects damping values from an aerodynamic flutter analysis as response quantities. The
ATTi (i = 1,2,3 and 4) fields of this entry allow for a precise selection of the damping values from
Main Index
CHAPTER 3 125
Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran
the available responses; i.e., ATT1 specifies a SET1 entry that selects the mode set, ATT2 specifies
an FLFACT entry that selects the set of densities, ATT3 specifies an FLFACT entry that selects a
set of Mach numbers, and ATT4 specifies an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of velocities. The
requested data must exist from the analysis at precisely the Mach number, density, and velocity
triplets specified by the FLFACT data. The effective use of this capability requires knowledge of
the flutter characteristics of the vehicle so that the subset of the analysis results that are selected
for design are both reasonable and comprehensive. For example, it would make little sense to
try and alter the structure to modify undesirable damping values that result from the rigid body
response of the vehicle. Similarly, most damping values are noncritical and can be safely
excluded from the design task.
MSC.Nastran can also construct synthetic responses that can be a function of DRESP1 response
values, design variables values, user-defined constants, and grid locations. This is done using a
combination of the DRESP2 entry to define the quantities that contribute to the synthetic
response and a DEQATN entry that provides the equation that defines the synthetic response.
A particular aeroelastic application of this capability is the construction of a response that
predicts the roll performance of the vehicle as a function of the ratio of two stability derivatives:
Cl
pb δa
------------- = – -----------
2Vδ a Cl
p
Obtaining adequate roll performance is often a design driver for air-combat vehicles and
typically entails enhancing the torsional stiffness of a wing. By use of the above relationship, this
requirement can be incorporated into a MSC.Nastran design task. An example of this is given
in “Aeroelastic Optimization of FSW Airplane (Example HA200A)” on page 664.
Sensitivity Analysis
The specification of response quantities as described in the preceding subsection is a means
towards the end of obtaining information for the structural design task. The first type of
information that is available is sensitivity results wherein the rate of change of a particular
response quantity r j , with respect to a change in a design variable x j , is produced:
λ ij = ∂r i ⁄ ∂x j
“Defining the Design Variables” on page 7 of the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and
Optimization User’s Guide (Moore, Version 68) contains a detailed description of design
sensitivity analysis while in this “Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization” on
page 84 provides a description of the calculations required to provide these sensitivities for
aeroelastic responses. This section provides guidelines useful in obtaining desired sensitivity
information.
The user selects sensitivity analysis by setting PARAM,OPTEXIT equal to 4. An example of the
output obtained with this option is given in “Aeroelastic Optimization of FSW Airplane
(Example HA200A)” on page 664.
Main Index
126
The MSC.Nastran implementation of design sensitivity analysis requires that the responses
specified on DRESP1 and DRESP2 entries must be “constrained” in order for design sensitivity
to occur. Further, the constrained responses have to pass through screening criteria that are
applied in MSC.Nastran in order to limit the number of responses that are used in a design
sensitivity and/or optimization task. The constraint specification begins with a DESSUB Case
Control command that identifies the constraint set that is to be applied to a particular subcase.
The command invokes DCONADD and/or DCONSTR Bulk Data entries, where the optional
DCONADD entry is used to collect DCONSTR sets applicable in the subcase and the DCONSTR
entry selects the DRESPi entries and specifies lower and upper limits on the response value. The
screening procedure selects the constraints that are greater than a threshold value with a further
limitation that only a limited number of responses of a given type will be retained (see the
“Defining the Analysis Disciplines” on page 4 of the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and
Optimization User’s Guide). The user can force a response to be retained by using the DSCREEN
Bulk Data entry to reduce the threshold value and/or increase the number of retained responses.
For sensitivity analysis, a trick that can be used to force the retention of a response is to specify
identical upper and lower limits on the DCONSTR entry associated with the response.
Optimization
Once the user has specified the design variables, a design objective, and design constraints,
MSC.Nastran can be used to determine the design that provides the minimum (or maximum)
value of the objective while satisfying the imposed constraints. This is a powerful tool for the
aeroelastician in that it provides a systematic means of finding an improved design. It can also
be appreciated that, particularly in the context of aeroelasticity, the user must be involved with
the optimization task and apply “reasonableness“ tests to the designs that are achieved. An
optimization task exploits any deficiencies in the analysis in a way that helps it achieve its goals.
Again, the user is referred to the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide,
Moore (Version 68) for guidelines into performing optimization tasks, including means of
gaining insight into the performance of the optimizer.
One user guideline that is relevant here is that the use of 0.0 as a limiting value on the DCONSTR
entry should be avoided, if possible. MSC.Nastran uses a normalized value for the constraint
that entails dividing the response value by the constraint limit. Specifying a limit of 0.0 then
produces a division-by-zero problem that MSC.Nastran avoids by substituting a small number
for the limit. In the context of aeroelasticity, the user would be inclined to apply an upper bound
of 0.0 to a DRESP1 entry that has an RTYPE of FLUTTER. This would ensure a negative damping
level. It is recommended that a DRESP2 entry be used to offset the flutter response from zero
and also to scale the response so that the constraint varies over a wider range than the unscaled
response. The DRESP2 response is of the form:
γ – OFFSET
R 2 = ----------------------------------
GFACT
where γ is the flutter response, OFFSET is the offset value (typically 0.3) and GFACT is the
scaling factor (typically 0.1). The DCONSTR entry would then impose an upper bound limit of
-OFFSET/GFACT on the DRESP2 response, and this would be equivalent to restricting the
flutter damping value to be negative.

4.1 Overview
Before an aeroelastic analysis can be performed, it is necessary to have an input file for the finite
element structural model that satisfies the descriptions in the MSC.Nastran Quick Reference Guide
regarding the Executive Control statements (Section 3), the Case Control commands (Section 4),
and the Bulk Data entries (Section 5). The descriptions of the input files in this chapter contains
only the information related to the features that must be included in the input file to obtain a
static aeroelastic, flutter, or dynamic aeroelastic response analysis, or aeroelastic design
sensitivity and optimization.
Note that the statements, commands, or entries referred to here are from the Version 68
MSC.Nastran Quick Reference Guide. The user should refer to the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual
for current features for each application since it is updated with each release of MSC.Nastran.
The MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis User’s Guide is updated less frequently.

4.2 Executive Control Section
A user typically runs MSC.Nastran by invoking one of the standard solution sequences. These
sequences are a collection of DMAP statements that drive the analysis and the aeroelastic
sequences are described in “Aeroelastic Solution Sequences” on page 153. The aeroelastic
analysis and design solution sequences are:
SOLs 21 or 144 STATIC AEROELASTIC RESPONSE
SOLs 75 or 145 AERODYNAMIC FLUTTER
SOLs 76 or 146 DYNAMIC AEROELASTIC RESPONSE
SOL 200 SENSITIVITY AND OPTIMIZATION
SOLs 21, 75, and 76 are referred to as “unstructured superelement solution sequences” since the
associated DMAP is a single list of statements with no subDMAPs. These solution sequences,
which were the only ones available prior to Version 66 of MSC.Nastran, are now obsolete, and
are not discussed further here. Solution 200, in addition to performing sensitivity and
optimization, is also a multidisciplinary analysis procedure. This solution sequence contains the
analysis capabilities of SOLs 101 (Statics), 103 (Normal Modes), 105 (Buckling), 108 (Direct
Frequency Response), 111 (Modal Frequency Response), 112 (Modal Transient Response), 144
(Static Aeroelasticity), and 145 (Aerodynamic Flutter). This makes it possible to perform static
aeroelastic and flutter analyses in a single run.

4.3 Case Control Section
The Case Control Section is described in “Case Control Commands” on page 175 of the

provides a brief comment on those entries that are unique to MSC.Nastran's aeroelastic
capability. “Bulk Data Entries” on page 739 duplicates the MSC.Nastran Quick Reference Guide
descriptions for these entries and is provided for completeness. Table 4-1presents a list of these
entries and indicates which ones are required (R) and available (A) in each of the solution
sequences. SOL 146 typically requires significant dynamic analysis input [see the MSC.Nastran
Basic Dynamics User’s Guide] and SOL 200 typically contains significant design model input [see

of the entry, particularly those that have been troublesome to users.
Main Index

4.5 Restarts
A powerful feature of MSC.Nastran is its ability to use previously computed results in a
subsequent analysis. The “restart” capability is briefly described in “Solution Sequences” on
page 341 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Guide. This subsection first lists common scenarios in an
aeroelastic analysis that would benefit from the restart capability and then provides input data,
with examples, required to perform the restart.
When to Use Restarts
Restarts are of prime benefit when a given analysis requires significant resources in terms of
CPU time, turnaround time, or computer disk space, and where the user expects to make a
number of changes to the original analysis. In these situations it is desirable to make a primary
run in a “cold” start and save the database for access in subsequent runs. In aeroelastic analyses,
a significant portion of the resources are consumed in generating the aerodynamic matrices for
the aerodynamic model. For this reason, restarts are recommended for the following aeroelastic
operations:
1. Investigate changes in the aerodynamics model while leaving the structural model
unchanged.
2. Investigate changes in the structural model while leaving the aerodynamic model
unchanged.
3. Perform additional analyses using the same aerodynamic and structural models, such
as:
Change the velocities at which a PK-flutter analysis is performed.
Change the dynamic pressure in an aeroelastic gust analysis.
Perform a trim analysis at a new flight condition.
4. Add an m,k pair to refine the aerodynamic interpolation.
5. Continue a run after it has exceeded its time limit in the cold start.
6. Feed information from another solution sequence, such as Nonlinear Heat Transfer
(SOL 106) into an aeroelastic solution.
When Not to Use Restarts
With the performance available in present-day computers, resource limits are much less
significant than they were in the recent past. For this reason, even the minor inconveniences
caused by working with a database are often not justified, and the use of restarts is restricted to
large analysis models acting in a “production” environment. Also, in the early stages of model
development, it is likely that numerous changes will be made that will make restarting of
minimal benefit.
Examples
In order to perform a restart run, the cold start run has to have been performed and the database
saved. This is done by submitting the cold start using the SCR = NO qualifier; e.g.,
Main Index
CHAPTER 4 137
Input Files for Aeroelastic Problems
nast68 ha44a scr=no
The examples presented below assume this cold start has been made. For the restart run, the
database has to be invoked with a command of the form:
nast68 ha144a_rst scr=no dbs=ha144a
Modifying the Aerodynamic Model. Suppose it is desired to determine the effect of increasing
the aspect ratio of the HA144A wing (see “FSW Airplane in Level Flight (Example HA144A)”
on page 181 from 4 to 5. Furthermore, suppose that there is no interest in the low dynamic
pressure trim results (subcase) described in Example HA144A. This requires changes in the
AEROS entry and the CAERO1 entry that models the wing, with the remaining Bulk Data entries
unchanged. The input data file for the restart is shown in Listing 4-1. The restart simply entails
the addition of a RESTART request in the File Management Section, the removal of the first
subcase, and the replacement of the changed Bulk Data entries. The / entry removes entries on
restart based on the sorted Bulk Data echo of the cold start.
Note that for restart purposes the aerodynamic model is considered modified if any CAEROi,
PAEROi, AEFACT, AERO, or AEROS Bulk Data entry is changed. If coordinate systems called
out by these entries change, the modification is not detected, and a restart should not be used.

Postprocessing of Model Data. If it is desired to change some aspect of an original analysis
other than the structural model or the aerodynamic model, the restart can be thought of as a
postprocessing operation. The MSC.Nastran restart capability is particularly powerful in this
scenario since the CPU-intensive tasks are only performed in the cold start.
As an example, the previous example with the increased plate thickness demonstrates a flutter
speed in the 620-640 ft/sec range. Suppose it is desired to study this range more intensively for
all the modes using a PK-flutter analysis. Relative to the run of the previous example, this
requires changing the FLUTTER Bulk Data entry and the FLFACT entry that previously

input data file for this case. Note that the analysis velocities have been input using physically
consistent units of in/sec. Furthermore, note that VERSION = 3 is specified on the RESTART
command. This is the version that contains results from the successful restart run of the previous
example. If there is doubt as to the correct version, the .F04 file of the successful run identifies

5.1 Overview
Aeroelastic analysis and design involves four solution sequences (SOLs 144, 145, 146, and 200).
Each solution has its own standard output format and each can be supplemented with additional
output obtained by appropriate Case Control commands and the use of parameters (PARAMs)
in the Bulk Data or Case Control files. The examples of “Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample
Problems” in Chapter 7 through “Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis” in Chapter 9
provide a comprehensive description of the aeroelastic output so that this chapter is limited to a
short description of the output and an indication of where it is described and depicted in the
examples.
Main Index
CHAPTER 5 143
Output Features and Interpretation
5.2 Static Aeroelasticity
Stability Derivatives
Nondimensional stability derivatives are printed for any static aeroelastic analysis that includes
SUPORT degrees of freedom and for as many degrees of freedom as are SUPORTed. “FSW
Airplane in Level Flight (Example HA144A)” on page 181 provides a description of this output
while Listing 7-3, Listing 7-10, et al., provide examples.
HP0 and HP Matrices
The HPO and HP matrices are used to determine mean axis rotation angle derivatives that can
be used, for example, in time simulation studies that use restrained aeroelastic coefficients in the
equations of motion. The number of rows in these matrices correspond to the number of
SUPORTed degrees of freedom. The HP0 matrix is for the intercept input (e.g., user input
pressures and downwash angles) while the HP matrix contains data for each of the AESTAT and
AESURF entries in the same order as they appear in the stability derivative print. “FSW
Airplane in Level Flight (Example HA144A)” on page 181 provides a description of how to
interpret these data for a longitudinal analysis while “FSW Airplane in Antisymmetric
Maneuvers (Example HA144D)” on page 241 contains a lateral example.
Trim Variables
The results of the trim analysis for all the aerodynamic extra points are always printed for each
subcase. The values are in the units specified on the AESTAT Bulk Data entry or in radians for
AESURF derived extra points. Each of the output listings in “Static Aeroelastic Analysis
Sample Problems” on page 179 contains at least one example of this output.
Aerodynamic Pressures and Forces
This output table contains information on the pressures and forces on the aerodynamic elements
at the trimmed flight condition. Both pressure coefficients and pressures are provided and one
pressure per element is printed using the numbering convention for the j-set degrees of freedom
described at the end of “Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” on page 93. The aerodynamic
‘‘forces’’ are printed out in two columns, corresponding to the forces and moments acting on the
panels at the aerodynamic grid points. The numbering convention for these k-set degrees of
freedom can also be found at the end of “Aeroelastic Modeling in MSC.Nastran” on page 93.
Listing 7-25 contained in “FSW Airplane with Bodies (Example HA144F)” on page 294 is
particularly illustrative of this print in that it contains results for bodies as well as lifting surfaces.
The body ‘‘pressures’’ are actually singularity magnitudes as defined by Eq. 2-5 and therefore
do not have physical significance. “Unit Solutions for Loadings of the FSW Airplane
(Examples HA144GA and HA144GB)” on page 321 present options that are available for using
this print to obtain results for a particular aerodynamic extra point.

Standard Data Recovery
Once a trim analysis has been performed, structural displacements can be determined and
standard MSC.Nastran data recovery can be performed to provide output such as element
stresses and forces and grid point displacements and SPC forces. “Output Listing” on page 639
of the MSC.Nastran Linear Static Analysis User’s Guide provides a description of this output.
Divergence Analysis
A divergence analysis produces two tables in the results file. An example of this output is given
in Listing 5-1 for the input file discussed in “Static Aeroelastic Analysis” on page 115. The first
table is the standard output from a complex eigenanalysis. Only roots that are purely imaginary
and positive are physically meaningful. The second table therefore has screened the eigenvalues
and prints them out in ascending magnitude of the divergence dynamic pressure, where

Diagnostic Output
Certain MSC.Nastran modules provide the ability to output additional information using
‘‘diagnostic’’ prints. Two examples of this that are relevant to static aeroelasticity are:
Main Index
CHAPTER 5 145
Output Features and Interpretation
• DIAG 39 print aerodynamic box geometry information for ZONA51 aerodynamic
panels inside the AMG module.
• DIAG 50 prints transformation information inside the ADG module. This was inserted
during the development of this module, but is of limited utility to users.
Plots
MSC.Nastran contains an internal plotter that provides minimal support for aeroelasticity. In the
current engineering environment of graphical user interfaces, this capability is becoming
obsolete. However, since it contains features that are not available in any other product, these
features are documented here. For static aeroelasticity, the geometry of the aerodynamic models
can be displayed, including the meshing of the aerodynamic panels. This can be plotted in
conjunction with the structural model so that it can be invaluable in identifying user input errors.
“Plotting” on page 501 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Guide contains information of the use of the
internal plotter. The AERO1 element identifies aerodynamic models for plotting purposes.
“FSW Airplane in Level Flight (Example HA144A)” on page 181 shows the Case Control
requests required to produce the plot of the aerodynamic and structural model shown in
Figure 5-1.

5.3 Flutter
Real Eigenanalysis
Eigenvalue results from the normal modes analysis are always printed while real eigenvector
results are printed if the appropriate Case Control commands are present (SVEC for
displacements in the a-set, DISP for global displacements). PARAM,OPPHIPA,1 can be used to
output the eigenvectors at the aerodynamic grid points and can therefore assist in assessing the
quality of the structural splining.
Flutter Summaries
A tabular listing is provided of the flutter results with each of the three flutter methods using a
customized format. Listing 8-3 shows output for the PK- and K-methods applied to the same
flutter analysis task. For the PK-method, roots are sorted in increasing frequency. POINT 1 then
outputs the lowest frequency root at each of the velocities used in the flutter analysis and
subsequent POINT’s refer to the higher frequencies. If there are multiple densities and/or Mach
numbers, POINTS corresponding to the first Mach number and density are printed first,
followed by the (optional) second Mach number and first density and finishing with the final
Mach number and final density. It is relatively easy to scan the damping column of a particular
POINT to see if a branch is going unstable. Once a crossing is observed, the flutter velocity and
frequency can be interpolated from the data that brackets the crossing.
K-method results are a bit more difficult to interpret. For this method, a POINT corresponds to
a particular reduced frequency, Mach number, density triplet, with the data within the POINT
arranged in increasing values of frequency. In this case, it is necessary to manually trace a flutter
branch across POINTs to determine where a root goes unstable.
An example of a KE-method flutter summary is shown in Listing 8-16. For this method, a sorting
algorithm, described in Eq. 2-122 and Eq. 2-123, is used to arrange the data in flutter branches,
much like those already described above for the PK-method. The sorting algorithm is not robust
so that sometimes branches become intertwined, but it is usually possible to untangle them
using the plotted output of the V-g and V-f curves.
PARAM,PRINT,NO suppresses the print of the flutter summary. This can be used when V-g and
V-f plots are relied upon to display the results of the flutter analysis.
Flutter Eigenvectors
Eigenvectors associated with the flutter eigenvectors are available for the PK and K methods of
flutter analysis. An example of this output for the PK-method is given in Listing 8-3. The user
indicates that eigenvectors are to be output for a particular velocity by entering a minus sign in
front of that velocity on the FLFACT entry. Two sets of eigenvectors are produced, one in modal
coordinates (i.e., the eigenvector that is generated as part of the complex modal eigenanalysis)
and the second in physical coordinates (i.e., the eigenvector that results when the modal
eigenvector is expanded to physical coordinates using the normal modes eigenvectors). The first
set appears prior to the flutter summary and is printed as the roots are extracted in the flutter
analysis. The second set of eigenvectors is generated and printed following the flutter analysis
Main Index

Output Features and Interpretation
as a data recovery operation. In both cases, the burden is on the user to connect the eigenvector
with the particular flutter point by searching for the eigenvalue of interest. It is also possible to
recover other responses, such as element stresses, for the eigenvectors.
An example of flutter eigenvectors produced by the K-method is also given in Listing 8-3. The
OFREQUENCY Case Control command can be used to restrict the range of frequencies over
which eigenvector results are output.
Diagnostic Output
As in the static aeroelastic description above, DIAG 39 produces aerodynamic box geometry
information for ZONA51 aerodynamic modules inside the AMG module. It also provides
detailed information on the PK-method of flutter analysis that provides a history of the iterations
used to produce the Flutter Summary results.
Plots
As in static aeroelasticity, the geometry of the aerodynamic models can be displayed, including
the meshing of the aerodynamic panels. In addition, the real eigenvectors can be displayed on
the aerodynamic model if PARAM,OPPHIPA,1 has been used. Only the VECTOR option can be
used for these displacements.
V-g and V-f plots may be requested by the XYOUT Case Control commands by specifying the
curve type as VG. The ‘‘points’’ are loop numbers and the ‘‘components’’ are g, structural
damping, or f, frequency. An example of these plot requests can be found in Listing 8-5. The first
plots produced by this request are displayed in Figure 5-2.

Output, sorted by point number or element number (SORT2), is available either as real and
imaginary parts or magnitude and phase angle (0° to 360°) for the list of frequencies specified by
the OFREQUENCY Case Control command. For transient problems, real numbers are output at
the list of times specified by the OTIME Case Control command.
Transient and Frequency Response
The following data may be printed in transient and frequency response outputs analysis:
• Displacements, velocities, and accelerations for a list of physical points (grid points and
scalar points introduced for dynamic analysis) or for solution points (points used in
formulation of the matrices in the general equations of motion).
• Nonzero components of the applied-load vector and single-point forces of constraint
for a list of grid points and extra points.
• Aerodynamic pressures and forces on selected aerodynamic elements.
• Stresses and forces on selected elements (= ALL, which specifies all elements, is
available only for SORT2).
Random Response
The following printed output is available for random response calculations:
• The power spectral density function and the root mean square value of the response of
listed components for points or elements.
• The expected number of zero crossings with positive slope per unit time, N0.
• The autocorrelation function of the response of listed components for points or
elements.
Plots

versus time or frequency.
• XY-plot of any component of the applied-load vector or single-point force of constraint
versus time or frequency.

6.1 Overview
As discussed in “Executive Control Section” on page 129, the standard use of MSC.Nastran
requires a solution sequence, and there are four solution sequences that relate to aeroelasticity:
SOL Number SOL Name Description
144 AESTAT Static Aeroelasticity
145 SEFLUTTR Aeroelastic Flutter
146 SEAERO Dynamic Aeroelasticity
200 DESOPT Design Sensitivity and Optimization
This chapter first briefly describes the functionality of each of these solution sequences. Some
users require a more in-depth understanding to the solution sequences; e.g., to extract
intermediate results or to alter the solution sequence to provide functionality not provided in the
basic sequence. For this reason, the remainder of the chapter provides significant detail on the
solution sequences. This includes a description of the key subDMAPS, brief descriptions of each
of the modules, and a listing of key data blocks.
Main Index
CHAPTER 6 155
Aeroelastic Solution Sequences
6.2 Solution Sequence Functions
Static Aeroelasticity
The static aeroelastic solution sequence (SOL 144) provides the following capabilities:
• The user supplies finite element models for the definition of the structure and
aerodynamic loading, including information on the flight condition. The loads and
accelerations are assumed to be independent of time i.e., quasi-steady.
• Stability and control derivatives are printed for each unique flight condition (Mach
number and dynamic pressure). Derivatives are printed for the rigid vehicle and for the
restrained and unrestrained elastic vehicles.
• A trim analysis is performed that determines unknown trim values and then performs
standard data recovery for each TRIM subcase defined in the Case Control section of
the input data file. Aerodynamic forces and pressures on the aerodynamic elements
may be obtained via the AEROF and APRES Case Control commands, respectively.
• Three matrices are available for altering the theoretically predicted aerodynamics.
Correction factors can be input using WKK, experimental pressures can be input using
FA2J and adjustments to the downwash to account for, e.g., the effects of camber and
twist, can be input using matrix W2GJ.
• A static aeroelastic divergence analysis is available by specifying a DIVERG Case
Control command in a subcase. The divergence analysis is performed at the Mach
numbers specified on the corresponding DIVERG Bulk Data entry.
Any of the aerodynamic methods can be utilized for divergence analysis. Strip Theory, the Mach
Box method, and Piston Theory are not available for trim and stability analysis.
Flutter Analysis
The flutter solution sequence (SOL 145) provides a comprehensive flutter analysis with the
following capabilities:
• The user supplies finite element models for the definition of the structure and the
aerodynamic model. Aerodynamic matrices are computed explicitly at each of the
user-supplied Mach number and reduced frequency combinations.
• A modal analysis is always performed. Changes in the mass and stiffness matrices may
be made subsequent to the modal analysis via DMIG Bulk Data entries.
• Control systems can be modeled using extra point, transfer function and DMIG inputs.
The user can supply downwash vectors for extra point motions using the DMI matrices
D1JE and D2JE.
• A flutter analysis is performed based on the parameters specified on the FLUTTER
Bulk Data entry that is selected by the FMETHOD Case Control command. The K- and
KE-methods compute flutter roots for user-specified values of density, Mach number
and reduced frequency. The PK-method extracts these roots for user-specified values
of density, Mach number and velocity.
Main Index
156
• Multiple subcases can be specified. This enables the use of, e.g., different flutter
solutions or multiple sets of DMIG information.
• A flutter summary is printed and (optionally) V-g and V-f plots are produced.
• Data recovery can be performed on the flutter eigenvectors produced for the K- and
PK-flutter solutions.
All MSC.Nastran aerodynamic theories are available and more than one aerodynamic theory
can be present in the same aerodynamic model.
Dynamic Aeroelasticity
The dynamic aeroelasticity solution sequence (SOL 146) provides analysis capability in the time
or frequency domain. The following capabilities are available:
• The user supplies finite element models for the structure and the aerodynamics.
Aerodynamic matrices, including gust loads, are computed at each of the user-
specified Mach number and reduced frequency combinations.
• Frequency or time-dependent loading can be specified. Time varying loads are
converted to the frequency domain using ad hoc Fourier transform techniques (see
“Dynamic Aeroelastic Analysis” on page 74). The excitation can be aerodynamic (such
as gust loading), or external (such as mechanical loads representing store ejection or
landing loads).
• A modal analysis is always performed. Changes in the mass and stiffness matrices may
be made subsequent to the modal analysis via DMIG Bulk Data entries.
• Control systems can be modeled using extra point, transfer function, and DMIG inputs.
The user can supply downwash vectors for extra point motions using DMI matrices
D1JE and D2JE.
• Basic computations are always performed in the frequency domain. If input is
provided in the time domain, an inverse Fourier transform is used to provide output in
the time domain.
• The modal participation type of data recovery is used. The internal loads or stresses are
found in each mode and the response loads are found from the linear combination of
the products of the loads in each mode and its amplitude. This method of internal load
response calculation is called the “Modal Displacement Method” in Bisplinghoff,
Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp 641-650).
• Output can be displacements (including velocities and accelerations), stresses, or
constraint forces. XY-plots are available. Aerodynamic data (pressures and forces) are
also available with frequency response analysis.
• Random response analysis obtains power spectral density, root mean square response,
and mean frequency of zero crossings.
All MSC.Nastran aerodynamic theories are available for calculating the dynamic aeroelastic
response to external loading. The Strip, Mach Box, and Piston Theory aerodynamics are not
available for gust loads.

Aeroelastic Solution Sequences
Design Sensitivity and Optimization
The design sensitivity and optimization solution sequence (SOL 200) contains multidisciplinary
analysis and design capabilities that are beyond the scope of the this guide. The reader is referred
to the companion MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide for a focused
discussion of SOL 200. For the purposes of this guide, the aeroelastic capabilities are
summarized in this section:
• The full range of static and flutter analysis capabilities of SOLs 144 and 145 are
available in SOL 200.
• Sensitivity of analysis responses with respect to changes in properties of the structural
finite element model can be computed. For static aeroelastic analyses, these responses
include not only standard displacement and stress responses, but also sensitivities of
stability derivatives and trim variables. For flutter, the sensitivity of the damping levels
computed in a PK-flutter analysis are available.
• Multidisciplinary optimization enables the simultaneous consideration of responses
from any number of disciplines in order to formulate a structural design that minimizes
a user-defined quantity, such as vehicle weight, while satisfying imposed design
conditions (e.g., requirements on stress, roll performance, and flutter stability).
Although all of the SOL 144 and 145 analysis capabilities are available in SOL 200, a subset of
these capabilities is available for sensitivity and optimization. In static aeroelasticity, the
divergences capability is not available. For flutter, only the PK-method of analysis can be used
in flutter design.

6.3 Solution Sequence Structure
The intent of this section is to provide an overview of the solution sequences related to
aeroelasticity by a discussion of the underlying subDMAPs. It is beyond the scope of this guide
to provide a comprehensive treatment of the DMAP listings.
Structured solution sequences are composed of a main driver subDMAP, which can invoke any
number of additional subDMAPs. Figure 6-1, Figure 6-2, and Figure 6-3 show the high-level
structure of subDMAPs AESTAT, SEFLUTTR, and SEAERO, which are the drivers for SOLs 144,
145, and 146, respectively.
In the figures, items in boxes are subDMAPs while items in ovals are modules. The shaded boxes
are the key aeroelastic subDMAPs and are discussed further in this section. It is seen that there
is a great deal of commonality among the sequences. The shared, nonshaded subDMAPs
include:
• SUPER1 -- Performs initial processing extending from input file processing through the
assembly of the global matrices.
• PMLUSET -- Set USET parameters.
• SEGOA -- Forms a-set GOA matrix from the t and q submatrices. This is relevant in
advanced reduction methods, such as Generalized Dynamic Reduction.
• SUPER3 -- Solution vector data recovery.
The following subDMAPs are only used in modal solutions (SOLs 145 and 146):
• OPPH -- Processes normal modes for data recovery and plots.
• GMA -- Converts physical matrices into modal coordinates.
• VDR1 -- Processes xy plot and solution set requests.
• MODACC -- Selects vectors for further postprocessing.
• MODERS -- Performs normal modes analysis.
Two modules shown in the figures are:
• DPD -- Dynamic pool distributor. Processes dynamics-related input.
• SSG2 -- Matrix reduction module. In these applications, it reduces the spline matrix
from the g- to the a-set.

7.1 Overview
Static aeroelastic problems consider the application of steady-state aerodynamic forces to a
flexible vehicle, which deflects under the applied loads resulting in perturbed aerodynamic
forces. The solution of these problems assumes that the system comes to a state of static (or
quasi-static) equilibrium. The aerodynamic load redistribution and consequent internal
structural load and stress redistributions can be used for design purposes by structural analysts.
The possibility of a static aeroelastic instability, i.e., divergence, is also of concern to them. Static
aeroelastic effects are of concern to other analysts as well. For example, aerodynamicists are
concerned with the effects on induced drag, and control systems analysts are concerned with the
effects on control effectiveness and static stability. The needs of these analysts from several
related disciplines have been considered in the static aeroelastic capability of MSC.Nastran.
Seven quasi-static examples are included in this chapter. These examples produce the
symmetric and antisymmetric static stability derivatives as well as loads and stresses due to a
variety of potential design conditions:
• Examples HA144A (p. 181) and HA144D (p. 241) are symmetric and antisymmetric
models of an idealized forward swept wing (hereafter referred to as FSW)
configuration.
• Example HA144E (p. 263) is a full-span model of the FSW configuration.
• Example HA144F (p. 294) adds a fuselage and two underwing stores to the HA144E
example.
• Examples HA144GA and HA144GB (p. 321) use the FSW configuration to provide unit
solutions for the loadings for the initial incidence and each of the trim variables.
• Example HA144B (p. 206) produces static aeroelastic results for the BAH wing [the jet
transport wing analyzed throughout Bisplinghoff, Asheley, and Halfman(1955)].
• Example HA144C (p. 223) considers a 15-deg swept untapered wing when mounted on
a wind-tunnel wall at a prescribed angle of attack.

7.2 FSW Airplane in Level Flight (Example HA144A)
The first example is the FSW airplane considered by Rodden and Love (1985) in trimmed level
flight. The model is extremely idealized as shown in Figure 7-1. The wing has an aspect ratio of
4.0, no taper, twist, or camber, but an incidence of 0.1 deg relative to the fuselage, and a forward
sweep angle of 30 deg. The canard has an aspect ratio of 1.0, no taper, twist, camber, incidence,
or sweep, and is hinged about its quarter-chord. The chords of both the wing and canard are
10.0 ft, the reference chord is chosen as c = 10 ft, and the reference area is S = 200 sq ft for the
half-span model. Both subsonic ( m = 0.9 ) and supersonic ( m = 1.3 ) speeds are considered.

Figure 7-1 Idealization of FSW Configuration
The half-span model of the wing is divided into 32 equal aerodynamic boxes, as shown on the
left wing in Figure 7-1, for both the Doublet-Lattice and ZONA51 methods of aerodynamic
analysis, and the canard is divided into eight equal boxes, as also shown in Figure 7-1.
Aerodynamic forces on the fuselage are neglected. (Note that the right-hand side is modeled;
the aerodynamic boxes are shown on the left side for convenience.) The right wing and fuselage
in Figure 7-1 show the structural idealization. Four weights are located at the one-quarter and
three-quarter span and chord positions of the wing, and are assumed to be connected to the 50%
chord elastic axis by rigid streamwise bars. The weights are 600 lb forward and 400 lb aft, giving
a wing centroid at 45% of the wing chord. The wing is assumed to be uniform with equal
7 2
bending ( EL y ) and torsion ( GJ ) stiffnesses of 25 × 10 lb-ft and is connected to the fuselage at
its root. The right-side fuselage is assumed to have the same bending stiffness as the wing and
is shown with four equal and equidistant weights (1500 lb each per side). The fuselage length is
30.0 ft. The total weight per side is 8000 lb, the center of gravity is 12.82 ft forward of the
intersection of the fuselage and wing elastic axis, and the centroidal moment of inertia in pitch
2
per side is I y = 892, 900 lb-ft . For the subsonic case, the airplane is assumed to be flying at a
Mach number m = 0.9 at sea level ( q = 1200 psf ). The low speed characteristics (but at
Main Index
182
m = 0.9 ) are obtained by assuming a low value of dynamic pressure, q = 40 psf , to illustrate
the behavior of the quasi-rigid vehicle. In the supersonic case, the airplane is assumed to be
flying at m = 1.3 at 20,000 ft ( q = 1151 psf ).
Structural Model. The input of structural data is considered first. The fuselage model is
illustrated in Figure 7-1. The fuselage length from GRID 97 to GRID 100 is 30.0 ft. BAR elements
are used between grid points, and a CONM2 weight of 1500 lb is at each fuselage grid point
except GRID 90. The wing input is also illustrated in Figure 7-1. Grid points 111, 112, 121, and
122 are connected to the elastic axis by rigid bars. The wing stiffnesses were assumed to be equal
in bending and torsion, EL y = GJ = 25.0 + 07 ; thus, assuming E = 1.44 + 09 psf and
4 4
G = 5.40 + 08 psf , leads to I y = 0.173611 ft and J = 0.462963 ft , respectively. Values of
2 4
cross-sectional area, A = 1.5 ft , and chordwise inertia, I z = 2.0 ft , are chosen arbitrarily. A
nominal symmetrical rectangular cross section with a 6.0 ft chord and 1.0 ft depth is also
assumed for the wing structural box for stress recovery purposes at the four corners. The wing
forward CONM2 weights are 600 lb, and the aft weights are 400 lb. The half-fuselage material
properties are assumed to be the same as in the wing with the same vertical cross-sectional
4
moment of inertia, I y = 0.173611 ft . The remaining fuselage cross-sectional area properties are
2 4
selected arbitrarily for stiffness and stress recovery, specifically, A = 2.0 ft , I z = 0.15 ft ,
4
J = 0.5 ft , and the points selected for stress recovery are at y, z = ± 1.0, ± 1.0 . There are two
rigid body motions in this model: vertical translation and rotation in pitch. A SUPORT Bulk
Data entry defines a reference point for these rigid body modes on GRID 90, DOFs 3 and 5.
Component 4 (roll) of wing grid points 110 and 120 is omitted from the calculation in order to
illustrate this means of reducing the problem size and thus has no effect on the results. GRID 90
is constrained longitudinally, and all of the fuselage grid points are constrained for symmetry
using SPC1 entries. PARAM entries select GRID 90 as the inertial property reference point and
convert the input weights to masses in slugs. [Note that PARAM,WTMASS,1/G provides the
conversion of weight to mass; PARAM,AUNITS,1/G allows for the input of the accelerations
using load factors (Gs).] CORD2R 100 provides the NACA reference axes for the stability
derivatives. The trim angle of attack is the angle of attack of the structural axis at the SUPORT
point.
Aerodynamic Model. The Doublet-Lattice and ZONA51 methods for surfaces are specified on
the CAERO1 entries. CAERO1 1000 specifies the canard with a 2 × 4 division into boxes.
CAERO1 1100 specifies the wing with an 8 × 4 division into boxes. The PAERO1 entry is
required even though the fuselage modeling is being neglected. Additional aerodynamic data
are included in DMI entries to account for the differences between test and theory [the correction
factors W kk of Eq. 2-21], experimental pressure data at some reference condition, e.g., zero angle
e
of attack, [the additive coefficients f also of Eq. 2-21], and any initial downwash distribution
g
arising, e.g., from incidence, camber or twist [the additional downwash w j of Eq. 2-2]. In this
e
example, W kk = WKK = 1.0 and f = FA2J = 0.0 for all of the wing and canard aerodynamic
g
boxes, and w j = W2GJ = 0.1 deg = 0.001745 rad for the wing boxes and W2GJ = 0.0 for the
canard boxes.
The SPLINE2 1501 and SET1 1000 entries specify a linear spline on the canard to interconnect the
structural and aerodynamic grids. The Cartesian coordinate system CORD2R 1 is for the spline
on the canard through the one-quarter chord hinge line. The simplicity of the canard splining
makes it uncharacteristic of what can be expected in practice, but it also provides an illustrative
Main Index
CHAPTER 7 183
Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems
example of the use of the smoothing factors DTHX and DTHY. It is seen that DTHX has been set
to 1.0, implying that the canard is restrained in roll about the centerline by a rotational spring.
If DTHX were set to 0.0, the spline would be overdetermined since the two grid points that lie
on the same line perpendicular to the spline axis each have a value for the bending slope when
only one is allowed. On the other hand, if DTHX were set to -1.0, the splining would become
singular because displacements at two points are not sufficient to define a plane, i.e., rotation of
the canard about the centerline would not be precluded. Setting DTHY to -1.0 ensures that only
the transverse displacements of the two grid points are used in determining the displacement
and rotation of the spline.
The SPLINE2 1601 and SET1 1100 entries specify a linear spline on the wing. SET1 1100 includes
GRIDs 99 and 100 for a good spline fit to the wing in the root region. CORD2R 2 is the Cartesian
coordinate system through the wing elastic axis.
CORD2R 100 is for the rigid body motions of the aerodynamic reference point; specifically the
pitch and moment axis is at the canard midchord at GRID 90. This coordinate system is the
standard NACA body axis system with the x-axis forward and the z-axis downward. The
stability derivatives are output using this coordinate system.
Static Aeroelastic Input. The foregoing input is typical for any aeroelastic analysis. The
entries in the Bulk Data specifically for static aeroelastic analysis begin with the AESTAT entries,
which specify the trim parameters. The parameters are angle of attack, α = ANGLEA ; pitch
··
rate, qc ⁄ 2V = PITCH ; normal load factor z ⁄ g = URDD3 ; and pitch acceleration,
θ ⁄ g = URDD5. Next, the trim surface is defined by an AESURF entry as the elevator (canard)
ELEV using coordinate system CORD2R 1 for its hinge line and defining the aerodynamic boxes
using AELlST 1000, which specifies aerodynamic box numbers 1000 through 1007. The reference
geometry is specified on the AEROS entry. This entry specifies the aerodynamic coordinate
system CORD2R 1, the aerodynamic reference coordinate system for rigid body motions
CORD2R 100, a reference chord of REFC = c = 10.0 ft , a reference span of REFB = b = 40.0 ft
(the full span), a reference area of REFS = S = 200.0 sq ft (half-model), and symmetric
aerodynamic loading (SYMXZ = 1). The first two TRIM entries specify the flight condition at
Mach number, m = 0.9 and level flight with no pitch rate, qc ⁄ 2V = PITCH = 0.0 , a one-g load
·· ··
factor, z ⁄ g = URDD3 = – 1.0 , and no pitching acceleration,⁄ g = θ ⁄ g = URDD5 = 0. The first
entry, TRIM 1, specifies the low speed condition with dynamic pressure q = Q = 40 psf , and
the second entry, TRIM 2, specifies q = Q = 1200 psf , both at m = 0.9 at sea level. The third
entry, TRIM 3, specifies supersonic level flight at m = 1.3 at 20,000 ft with Q = 1151 psf .
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with three title commands. ECHO
= BOTH echoes the input data in both unsorted/annotated and in sorted/unannotated formats.
SPC = 1 provides the set of symmetric constraints. DISP, STRESS, and FORCE = ALL print all
of the displacements, stresses, and forces, respectively. AEROF, APRES = ALL call for all of the
aerodynamic forces and pressures to be printed in all subcases: SUBCASE 1 (TRIM = 1) is the
low q case of level flight at Mach number m = 0.9 ; SUBCASE 2 (TRIM = 2) is the high q case at
m = 0.9 ; SUBCASE 3 is the supersonic flight case at m = 1.3 . The OUTPUT(PLOT) request
permits graphs to be obtained from auxiliary plotting equipment. In this case, the planform is
plotted.

Output. The input data for this example is shown in Listing 7-1 followed by the sorted Bulk
Data entries in Listing 7-2, and finally the output results in Listing 7-3. The significant output
data are discussed and summarized below.
The OUTPUT FROM THE GRID POINT WEIGHT GENERATOR gives a centroid of the half-
airplane 2.182 ft aft of GRID 90 and 2.500 ft outboard from the centerline, and a centroidal
2
moment of inertia in pitch of 892 ,894 lb-ft .
Stability Derivatives. The typical definition of the stability derivatives in the restrained
longitudinal case may be illustrated by the lift coefficient [see, e.g., Rodden and Love (1985), and
note that C z = – C L ]:

·
The a -derivatives are not obtained from the quasi-steady considerations here and will not be
discussed further. The rotations of the mean axis in the restrained Iongitudinal case are defined
in terms of rotational derivatives defined by Rodden and Love (1985).

··
·
Again, the a -term will not be discussed further. In the unrestrained case, all inertial derivatives
vanish because their effects appear in the remaining derivatives, and the mean axis rotations do
not have to be considered in the equations of motion.
Four sets of stability derivatives are generated for the system for each flight condition:
1. Rigid unsplined
2. Rigid splined
3. Elastic restrained at the SUPORTed degrees of freedom
4. Elastic unrestrained
Before the stability derivatives are tabulated, the transformation from the basic to the reference
coordinates is shown. This transformation provides a check on the input of the aerodynamic
reference coordinate system for the stability derivatives. The stability derivatives for the rigid
and elastic vehicle are shown next. The rigid derivatives are those that are obtained while
neglecting elastic deformation of the vehicle. These derivatives are presented in two ways:
unsplined and splined coefficients, which provide checks on the splining. The unsplined
coefficients are based on all of the boxes in the aerodynamic model and are independent of the
spline. Usually, the two sets of coefficients are nearly identical unless there is an error in the

spline input, such as not including all of the boxes. However, there may be situations where
some boxes intentionally may not be connected to the spline, as in the case when no motion of
certain boxes is desired.
The stability derivatives are summarized in Table 7-1. For the first dynamic pressure,
q = Q = 40 psf , the rigid and elastic coefficients are all quite close except that the inertial
derivatives have finite values for the low dynamic pressure. In the rigid case, the inertial
derivatives vanish, but in the limit of zero dynamic pressure, the flexible inertial derivatives
remain finite. By virtue of the definitions of the inertial derivatives in Eq. 7-1, the printed output
··
values corresponding to unit URDD5 = θ ⁄ g must be divided by c ⁄ 2 = 5.0 ft . The inertial
derivatives are absorbed into the basic stability derivatives in the unrestrained case. The
aerodynamic center for each loading may be found by dividing its moment coefficient by its lift
coefficient and multiplying by the reference chord, e.g., for the angle of attack α loading in
unrestrained flight x a.c. = – C m c ⁄ C z = 2.835 ft aft of GRID 90 at low q .

Mean Axis Deformation. The mean axis translations and rotations for the SUPORT degrees of
freedom follow next in the output and are shown as INTERMEDIATE MATRIX...HP. The
rotational derivatives are presented in the second row (i.e., printed in the second column
shown). These derivatives are only associated with the restrained case, since they must be
included in the equations of motion that utilize restrained stability derivatives, as discussed by
Rodden and Love (1985). Equations of motion relative to the SUPORT using unrestrained
stability derivatives are already expressed in terms of mean axis rotations. The mean axis
rotational derivatives are also summarized in Table 7-1. The derivative α m is obtained by

adding 1.0 to the tabulated value, and the derivative α m is obtained by dividing by

The level flight trim solution follows the mean axis rotations. For the low speed condition, the
angle of attack of the structural axis is necessarily high, ANGLEA = α = 0.169191 rad =
9.69 deg , and the corresponding canard incidence is ELEV = δ e = 0.492457 rad = 28.22 deg .
The aerodynamic pressure and load data follow the trim solution. The pressure coefficients on
each box are also high at the high angle of attack and low dynamic pressure. The pressures and
box normal forces balance the weight of the airplane. The aerodynamic moments are taken
about the midchord of each box: at subsonic speeds the box force acts at the box quarter-chord
and causes a moment about the box reference midchord; at supersonic speeds the box force acts
at the box midchord and results in a zero moment on each box.
The restrained and unrestrained derivatives for the second dynamic pressure, q = 1200 psf , are
shown next and are also summarized in Table 7-1. In this case, the aerodynamic center in
unrestrained flight has moved slightly aft to x a.c. = 2.945 ft behind GRID 90. The level flight
trim solution is given next. The angle of attack of the structural axis through GRID 90 is
α = ANGLEA = 0.001373 rad = 0.079 deg and δ e = ELEV = 0.01932 rad = 1.107 deg .
Following the trim solution are the aerodynamic pressure coefficients and pressures on each

aerodynamic box in the trimmed condition and then the aerodynamic forces and moments about
the 50% chord of each box. The aeroelastic redistribution of loads with increasing dynamic
pressure is seen by comparing the pressures and normal forces between Subcases 1 and 2.
The third subcase is supersonic level flight at m = 1.3 and q = 1151 psf . The supersonic
stability derivatives are output next and are summarized in Table 7-2. The aerodynamic center
has moved aft to 4.088 ft behind GRID 90. Because of the wing incidence of 0.1 deg, the
supersonic angle of attack of the structural axis is negative, α = ANGLEA = – 0.0005118
rad = – 0.003 deg , and the canard angle is δ e = ELEV = 0.03027 rad = 1.734 deg . The
supersonic load distribution is quite different from the subsonic distribution as can be seen by
comparing the pressures and normal forces between Subcases 2 and 3.
Next are the structural deformations of all the grid points relative to the SUPORT point,
GRID 90, for the three subcases.
Finally, the element loads and stresses are given for the three subcases. The loads include
bending moments, shears, and torques. Some of the stresses are high for the arbitrarily chosen
cross-sectional properties.

7.3 Jet Transport Wing in Roll (Example HA144B)
The second example is the BAH wing in steady roll. This is the jet transport wing considered
throughout Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955) and adapted as an MSC.Nastran
demonstration problem by Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979). The present idealization of the
wing/aileron combination is shown in Figure 7-2 (note that the figure shows a more refined
aerodynamic box idealization than that used previously). The reference geometrical
2
characteristics for the stability derivatives are the wing area, S = 81,250 in per side, the
reference chord, c = 162.5 in. , and the total span, b = 1000.0 in .
The BAH wing flexibility influence coefficients and mass matrix are given by Rodden (1959a) for
the idealization of Figure 7-2. In addition to the data of Rodden (1959a), the half-fuselage is
9 2
assumed to have a weight of 17,400 lbs with pitch and roll moments of inertia of 4.35 × 10 lb-in
7 2
and 4.37 × 10 lb-in , respectively. [Note that Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 176-
184) give the half-fuselage weight as 17,400 lbs and the half-airplane moment of inertia in roll as
2 7 2
135.02 lb-in . The moment of inertia in roll of the half-fuselage is derived to be 4.37 × 10 lb-in ,
7 2
and the moment of inertia in pitch is arbitrarily assumed to be 4.35 × 10 lb-in ] The aileron
actuator stiffness is derived from the data in Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 580-
584) to give an uncoupled rotational frequency of 60.0 Hz. The wing is idealized into 58
aerodynamic boxes, five of which are on the fuselage and six of which are on the aileron.
The wing is assumed to be flying in incompressible air (Mach number, m = 0.0 ) and at a
dynamic pressure q = 4.0075 psi for comparison to a Fourier transform solution by Rodden,
Harder, and Bellinger (1979).
The BAH wing is used in several examples throughout this guide. In the interest of saving space
in the guide, certain groups of Bulk Data are contained in separate input files and are
incorporated into the input data section by means of the INCLUDE entry. In this example the
structural, mass, aileron, and aerodynamic planform data are separated as discussed in the
following.
The structural stiffness data are input using GENEL entries since the structural model of the
BAH wing is given only in terms of flexibility influence coefficients. The GRID entries list the
wing grid points 1 through 10, which are the control points for the flexibility matrix, and
GRID 11 represents the rigid fuselage at the root of the wing elastic axis. The GENEL partitions
include the flexibility matrix Z and the rigid body mode matrix S for plunging, rolling about the
centerline, pitching about the elastic axis, and flapping about the wing root. The structural
stiffness data are contained in the input file BAH_STRUCT.DAT and are shown in Listing 7-4.

Figure 7-2 Idealization of BAH Wing for Rolling Analysis
The wing inertial data are derived from the three masses on each wing strip given by Rodden
(1959a) and are input in the CMASS2 format, which provides for the inertial coupling between
the forward (25% chord) and aft (75% chord) degrees of freedom. CONM1 is the concentrated
rigid fuselage mass, static unbalance, and inertia. PARAM,GRDPNT specifies GRID 11 as the
reference in the weight and balance analysis. PARAM,WTMASS = 1/g converts the input
weights to units of mass. The inertial data are contained in the input file BAH_MASS.DAT and
are shown in Listing 7-5.
The relative rotation between the aileron and the wing is represented by GRID 12. GRID 12 is
located streamwise behind GRIDs 7 and 8 on the wing trailing edge slightly inboard of the
aileron inboard edge. MPC 1 defines the control surface rotation relative to the wing based on
the chord lengths between GRIDs 7 and 8 (66.50 in.) and between GRIDs 8 and 12 (33.25 in) at
wing station 368. CONM1 2 gives the aileron inertial characteristics: weight (0.0 lbs), unbalance
2
about the hinge line (0.0 in-lbs), and moment of inertia about the hinge line ( 13, 970.lb-in ).
CELAS2 3 provides the rotational stiffness of the aileron actuator and is derived from the
moment of inertia and the assumed uncoupled frequency of 60.0 Hz
2
[ ( 13970.5 ⁄ g ) ⋅ ( 2π ⋅ 60.0 ) = 5,142,661 in-lb/rad ]. The aileron data are contained in the input
file BAH_AILERON.DAT and are shown in Listing 7-6.
Aerodynamic Data. The definition of the wing geometry begins with CORD2R 1, which has its
x-axis in the streamwise direction. The wing planform is divided into three panels via
combinations of three CAERO1 entries and four AEFACT entries. The panel between the
centerline and the aileron is specified by CAERO1 1001; by NCHORD = 5, which divides it into
five equal chordwise boxes; and by AEFACT 1, which divides it into seven unequal spanwise
Main Index
208
strips. The panel containing the aileron is specified by CAERO1 2001 and is divided spanwise
into three strips and chordwise into six boxes by AEFACTs 2 and 4, respectively. Finally,
CAERO1 3001 specifies the wing tip with NCHORD = 5 and AEFACT 3. PAERO1 1000 is the
required aerodynamic property entry although no body aerodynamics are considered in this
example. The fuselage aerodynamics are found from the extension of the wing between the
centerline and the side of the fuselage.
Spline Data. Linear splines are used to connect the wing aerodynamics to the wing structure,
consisting of grid points listed on SET1 14. SPLlNE2 101 connects the first 35 boxes to the wing
structure. Since the GENEL has no rotations, DTHX = DTHY = -1.0. SPLINE2 102 connects
boxes 2001 through 2004, 2007 through 2010, and 2013 through 2016 to the wing structure (see
Remark 1 on the SPLINE1 Bulk Data entry). SPLINE2 103 connects boxes 3001 through 3005 to
the wing structure. The aerodynamic elements are specified in the input file
BAH_AERO58.DAT as shown in Listing 7-7.
The requirements in the Bulk Data Section for the static aeroelastic analysis begin with the
AESTAT entries that specify the antisymmetric trim parameters, roll rate, pb ⁄ 2V = ROLL , and
·
rolling acceleration, p = URDD4 . The aileron rotation δ a is defined on AESURF as AILE using
the hinge line coordinate system CORD2R 10 and by defining the aileron doublet-lattice boxes
on AELIST 2005 that lists the six boxes: 2005, 2006, 2011, 2012, 2017 and 2018. SPLINE 104
specifies a plane through the aileron and connects the three SET 15 grid points to the six aileron
boxes. The geometry is given on AEROS that specifies CORD2R 1 as both the aerodynamic and
rigid body motion reference coordinate systems, a reference chord of REFC = c = 162.5 in , a
2
reference span of REFB = b = 1000.0 in , a reference area of REFS = S = 81,250.0 in , and
antisymmetric aerodynamic motion (SYMXZ = -1). The TRIM entry specifies the flight condition
at Mach number, m = 0.0 , with a dynamic pressure, Q = 4.00075 psi [corresponding to
V = 475 mph in Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955) and the units used in the present
·
analysis], and a steady roll maneuver, p = URDD4 = 0.0 , with unit aileron rotation
δ a = AILE = 1.0 radian . PARAM,AUNITS = 1/g = 0.0025907 permits accelerations to be
input in load factor units. ENDDATA completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with three title commands. ECHO
= BOTH calls for both annotated and sorted input entries to be listed. SPC = 13 specifies the
fuselage (GRID 11) to be constrained in plunge and pitch. MPC = 1 gives the relative angle
between the control surface and the wing in terms of wing vertical displacements at GRIDs 7 and
8 and the trailing edge vertical displacement at GRID 12. DlSP = 2 prints the displacements of
SET 2, which includes GRIDs in the aileron region of the wing. SPCF = 3 prints the SPC forces
on the SET 3 grid points, which is in this case the fuselage at GRID 11. AEROF = ALL and APRES
= ALL call for all of the pressures and forces on the aerodynamic boxes to be printed. TRIM 1
specifies the maneuvering condition. BEGIN BULK ends the Case Control Section.
In the Executive Control Section, ID MSC, HA144B indicates this test problem identification.
TIME 5 specifies the maximum CPU time at 5.0 minutes. SOL 144 calls for the static aeroelastic
solution sequence. CEND concludes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data files are shown in Listing 7-8 followed by the sorted Bulk Data entries
in Listing 7-9 and the output in Listing 7-10. The highlights of the computed results are

from its graphical solution (see Example HA146B (p. 599)).
The remaining output of interest gives the pressure coefficients, pressures, and aerodynamic box
forces in the steady roll, and the deformations near the wing tip (GRIDs 7, 8, 9, and 10) and at
the aileron trailing edge (GRID 12). The rotation of the aileron actuator spring is given by
GRID12, R2 and is -0.05056 rad; this is the aeroelastic effect on the aileron, i.e., the net
commanded aileron rotation is only 1.0 – 0.05056 = 0.9435 rad .
Structural element loads and stresses are not available in this example since the GENEL stiffness
model does not contain any details of the structure.
The complete solution for aileron effectiveness as a function of dynamic pressure is shown in
Figure 7-3. The aileron reversal dynamic pressure is found to be q = 11.06 psi by interpolation
and corresponds to V = 789 mph at sea level based on the incompressible aerodynamics
assumed. Note that the curve in Figure 7-3 is not a straight line, although in this example its
curvature is very small. Note also that the curve has not included the reduction in commanded
aileron rotation due to the actuator flexibility.

7.4 A 15-Degree Sweptback Wing in a Wind Tunnel
(Example HA144C)
A simple flat-plate wing with 15 deg of sweepback is shown in Figure 7-4. This wing has been
tested in a wind tunnel for flutter at subsonic and supersonic speeds, and the results have been
reported by Tuovila and McCarty (1955). A number of models of the same shape, but of different
materials, were tested. The models were made of 0.041 in thick sheet metal with their leading
and trailing edges beveled 0.25 in to form a symmetric hexagonal airfoil shape. The 15 deg
swept model had a constant chord of 2.07055 in. and a semispan of 5.52510 in. (and an effective
span with wall reflection of 11.0502 in). The low-speed models were made of aluminum, and the
high-speed models were made of magnesium. The subsonic flutter test was run at Mach number
m = 0.45 . In the present example, the aluminum model is treated as if it were tested for its static
aeroelastic characteristics in the wind tunnel at m = 0.45 .

Figure 7-4 A 15-Degree Sweptback Wing Model
The method of solution for the restrained wind tunnel model employs the “large mass” method
discussed in “Enforced Motion” on page 195 of the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamics User’s Guide for
enforced motion. A large support mass is assumed (chosen approximately six orders of
magnitude larger than the system mass) which in turn is reacted by an equally large force so
there is a very small consequent acceleration of the system. A gravity force is included to
account for the weight of the system.
The present example represents the plate model appropriately by plate elements. The basic
structural model consists of GRID and CQUAD4 entries. The plate wing is divided into seven
strips of equal width and four chordwise elements separated along the one-eighth, one-half, and
seven-eighths chord lines; its idealization into 28 structural plate elements is shown in
Figure 7-5 (a). The leading- and trailing-edge CQUAD4 elements taper in thickness to zero at
the edges on their corresponding CQUAD4 entries, whereas the interior elements have the
constant thickness of 0.041 in. as given on the PSHELL entry. The MAT1 entry lists the moduli
6 6 3
E = 10.3 × 10 psi and G = 3.9 × 10 psi , and the weight density of ρ = 0.100 lb/in for

aluminum. Three grid points are constrained to simulate a perfectly clamped root chord.
However, the root leading and trailing edge grid points are assumed to be free because a clamp
would not restrain the beveled edges. GRIDs 9 and 25 (at the one-eighth and seven-eighths
chord points at the root) are connected to GRID 17 by rigid bars (RBAR 101 and RBAR 102), and
GRID 17 is constrained in all degrees of freedom except the support (SUPORT) degrees of
freedom, vertical translation (T3), and pitch (R2). GRIDs 1 through 8, 10 through 16, 18 through
24, and 26 through 40 are constrained against in-plane rotation (R3) because the CQUAD4
element has no in-plane rotational stiffness. ASET1 entries are included to reduce the size of the
problem by restricting the degrees of freedom to the normal deflections of the wing (the GRID
T3 degrees of freedom), which are the only deflections required to determine the aerodynamic
loads. This plate model is used in several subsequent examples. The Bulk Data entries are
contained in the separate input file PLATE_STRUCT. DAT that is presented in Listing 7-11.
The density on the MAT1 entry and PARAM,COUPMASS,1 result in the generation of the
coupled (note that a coupled mass matrix is not a consistent mass matrix) mass matrix of the
plate, while the GRAV entry introduces the weight of the model into the problem. Although the
weight of a wind tunnel model is usually small, it is not negligible and is just as easily included.
5
The large mass is placed at the support point GRID 17 and is chosen arbitrarily as 10 lbs on a
5 2
CONM2 entry with its pitching moment of inertia also chosen arbitrarily as 10 lb-in . These
are converted to mass units by the parameter WTMASS. The additional PARAM,AUNITS is
included to permit accelerations to be specified in units of Gs both in the input (on the TRIM
entry) and in the output (the values of the UX for accelerations in the Aerostatic Data Recovery
5
Output Table). The reacting force of 10 lbs is also placed at GRID 17 on the FORCE entry. The
LOAD entry combines the gravity load with the reacting force. (Note that the load and the force
are in opposite directions.)

(b) Aerodynamic Model
Figure 7-5 A 15-Degree Sweptback Wing Model
The Aerodynamic Model. The aerodynamic data begin with the AEROS entry, which includes
the reference chord of 2.07055 in., the reference span (twice the exposed span) of 11.0502 in., the
exposed surface area of 11.4400 sq in., and the symmetry flags SYMXZ = 1 to account for the
wind tunnel wall reflection and SYMXY = 0 to neglect tunnel floor and ceiling interference. The
aerodynamic coordinate system CORD2R has its origin at the wing support point (GRID 17) and
its positive x-axis aft in the streamwise direction. The CAERO1 entry, along with a subsonic
Mach number on the TRIM entry, specifies the subsonic Doublet-Lattice method. Six equal
width spanwise strips are specified along with the minimum recommended number of four
equal chordwise strips. The planform geometry is specified on the continuation entry. A
PAERO1 entry is required although there are no interfering bodies in the problem. The division
of the planform into aerodynamic boxes is shown in Figure 7-5(b).
Main Index
226
Spline Data. The aerodynamics and structure are interconnected by a surface spline SPLINE1.
The 24 aerodynamic boxes are tied to the 20 grid points listed on the SET1 entries. The 20 points
are variously spaced spanwise from the root to tip and along the leading edge, the one-eighth,
one-half, and seven-eighth chord lines, and the trailing edge.
The optional user input of downwashes caused by incidence, twist, or camber is illustrated by
g
the direct matrix input item DMI W2GJ. The additional downwashes w j [See Eq. 2-2] at the
three-quarter chord location of each aerodynamic box are input in this manner. In this example,
it is assumed that the model has no camber or twist and is set in the wind tunnel at an angle of
attack of 10 deg = 0.17453 rad so that W2GJ is constant for the 24 boxes and is input using the
“THRU” option on the DMI entry.
Static Aeroelastic Inputs. The static aeroelastic solution requires the definition of the trim
variables. Normally, both AESTAT and AESURF entries are required. However, in this example
there is no trimming surface required since the model is trimmed by the inertial forces of the
large mass attached to the model; therefore, no AESURF entry is input. The trim variables, angle
··
of attack α = ANGLEA , pitch rate qc ⁄ 2V = PITCH , vertical acceleration z ⁄ g = URDD3 , and
·
pitching acceleration q ⁄ g = URDD5 are listed on four AESTAT entries. A TRIM entry
completes the data required for the static aeroelastic solution. One entry is sufficient for both the
rigid and flexible wing solutions. The entry specifies the Mach number m = 0.45 , the dynamic
pressure q = 2.0 psi , the angle of attack α = 0.0 (since the wind tunnel setting has already been
included as 10.0 deg of incidence), and the pitch rate qc ⁄ 2V = 0.0 . The ENDDATA entry
completes the input Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with three title commands that
appear at the top of each page of output and at the bottom of each output plot. Using
ECHO = BOTH prints both the annotated and sorted Bulk Data Sections with the output. The
SPC and LOAD commands invoke the corresponding Bulk Data entries (SPC1, and GRAV and
FORCE, respectively). The DISP = ALL, STRESS = ALL, FORCE = ALL, AEROF = ALL, and
APRES = ALL commands are print requests for structural deflections, stresses, forces, and
aerodynamic forces and pressures. The TRIM command selects the single trim condition from
the Bulk Data Section.
The remaining commands in the Case Control Section specify output plot parameters. The
OUTPUT(PLOT) command delimits the output request designated by the structure plotter. The
CSCALE 2.0 command specifies spacing of characters in the titles on the plots. The PLOTTER
NASTRAN command invokes the NASTRAN plotter routine. The first set of elements to be
plotted is identified as the aerodynamic elements and the second set as the CQUAD4 elements.
The plot titles are “AERODYNAMIC ELEMENTS” and “STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS”. The
FIND command finds a scale and origin for the set to be plotted, and the PLOT command
invokes the plot routine. For each subcase, the aerodynamic and structural elements are plotted
with their elements labeled. BEGIN BULK ends the Case Control Section.
In the Executive Control Section, ID MSC, HA144C is the identification of this problem. TIME 5
limits the CPU time to 5 minutes. SOL 144 calls for the static aeroelastic response analysis.
CEND completes the Executive Control Section.

Output. The input data file for this example is shown below in Listing 7-12 followed by the
sorted Bulk Data entries in Listing 7-13 and the output results in Listing 7-14. Results of
particular interest are reviewed in the following discussion.
The restrained stability derivatives are found for the model and are shown in Table 7-3. The
unrestrained values are not shown since they are the same as the restrained derivatives (except
for the inertial derivatives which are zero in the unrestrained case), nor are the mean axis
rotational derivatives shown since they are not of interest for the wind tunnel installation. Only
a slight decrease in C L is obtained along with a slight aft movement of the aerodynamic center
α
at the high speed. The aerodynamic center in the rigid case is at
∆x ⁄ c = C m ⁄ C L = – 0.0695 = 6.95%
α α
chord aft of the aerodynamic reference point, which is at the midchord of the root, or at 56.95%
of the root chord. In the flexible case at q = 2.0 psi , the aerodynamic center has moved aft to
··
57.97% of the root chord. The pitch rate ( qc ⁄ 2V ) and pitch acceleration (θ ⁄ g ) derivatives
provide additional information about the model but have no experimental counterpart. Note
that the intercept coefficients are
g g
CL = C L w j and C m = C m w j
o α o α
where the incidence
g
w j = 0.17453 rad
Note also that the tabulated output pitch acceleration coefficients must be divided by
c ⁄ 2 = 1.03528 in. to obtain the values listed in Table 7-3.

Additional output data of interest include the solution trim variables, the aerodynamic
pressures and forces, the grid point displacements and the structural element forces and stresses.
The trim variables are the accelerations and are quite small as expected with the large support
··
mass and the opposing applied force: z ⁄ g = URDD3 = 0.00015050 and
-4
⁄ 2g = URDD5 ⋅ c ⁄ 2 = – 0.2662 ×10 ×1. The aerodynamic forces are substantial at the angle of
attack of 10 degrees and dynamic pressure q = 2.0 psi and result in large displacements that are
probably too large for the assumed small deflection theory in both the aerodynamic and
structural analyses and in large stresses that are probably beyond the yield strength of the
aluminum plate. The deflection of GRID 40 is 2.886 in. and the principal stresses at the root are
± 78,270 psi in CQUAD4 15.

7.5 FSW Airplane in Antisymmetric Maneuvers
(Example HA144D)
The FSW airplane of Example HA144A is reconsidered here for its lateral-directional stability
characteristics and loading (Figure 7-6). The half-span model is modified to add a sweptback fin
and to consider antisymmetrical motions plus the effects of a 25% chord aileron and 25% chord
rudder. The right-half fin is assumed to weigh 50 Ibs. and is idealized as shown in the side view
in Figure 7-6(b) with a sweepback angle of 30 deg and no taper. Two weights are located at the
one-quarter and three-quarter chord of the fin at its midspan location and are assumed to be
connected to its 50% chord elastic axis by rigid streamwise bars. The weights per side are
assumed to be 30 lbs forward and 20 Ibs aft, yielding a fin centroid at 45% of its chord. Since the
fin is assumed to have the same stiffness properties as the wing, then the right-side fin has half
of the wing section properties. The aileron is shown on the wing in the plan view of Figure 7-
6(a).

The Bulk Data Section is only slightly different from that of Example HA144A with the addition
of the fin aileron, and rudder as the new control surfaces. The SPC1 constraints are modified to
permit the antisymmetric degrees of freedom. GRIDs 310, 311, and 312 are added for the fin,
CBAR 310 provides the fin elastic axis, and RBARs 311 and 312 connect the fin masses CONM2
311 and 312 to the elastic axis. The aerodynamic reference geometry and coordinates are given
on the AEROS entry.
This entry lists:
Main Index
242
• CORD2R
This is the NACA coordinate system and is used as a reference for the stability
derivatives.
• the reference chord of 10.0 ft
• the reference span of 40.0 ft
• the reference area of the half-model of 200.0 sq. ft
• SYMXZ = -1 for antisymmetric motion
The aerodynamic model also requires the addition of the fin using CAERO1 3100 and its spline
SPLlNE2 3100 with its axis on CORD2R 300 and connected to the SET1 3100 grid points.
The control surfaces are defined by AESURF and AELIST entries along with the coordinate
systems whose y-axes define their hinge lines. AESURF 517 is the aileron and includes the
trailing edge boxes on the outboard half of the wing as enumerated on AELIST 2000. The aileron
rotation is assumed to be positive trailing-edge up on the right wing as given by CORD2R 110;
this definition of positive aileron gives a positive rolling moment (right wing down). AESURF
518 is the rudder and includes the four trailing edge boxes on the fin as listed on AELIST 3000.
A trailing-edge left rudder rotation gives a positive side force from the rudder so the rudder
hinge line is defined by CORD2R 301.
For use in a later example, the above data are separated into the input file
HA144D_MODEL.DAT as shown in Listing 7-15, and included in the present example using the
INCLUDE entry.
The AESTAT entry defines the motions that respond to the control surface inputs. In the lateral-
directional case these are: sideslip, β = SIDES ; roll rate, pb ⁄ 2V = ROLL ; yaw rate,
··
rb ⁄ 2V = YAW ; the lateral (side) acceleration, y ⁄ g = URDD2 ; and the rotational accelerations
· ·
in roll, p ⁄ g = URDD4 , and yaw, r ⁄ g = URDD6 . These six motions are defined on AESTAT
entries 511 through 516. PARAM,AUNITS permits load factor units for the accelerations.
Two subsonic trim conditions are considered. The first, TRIM 1, uses the sea-level value of
dynamic pressure q = 1200 psf at a Mach number of m = 0.9 and finds the steady roll solution
for an aileron rotation of δ a = AILERON = 25 deg = 0.436332 rad , no yaw rate,
··
rb ⁄ 2V = YAW = 0.0 , no lateral (side) acceleration, y ⁄ g = URDD2 = 0.0 , and no rotational
· ·
accelerations, p ⁄ g = URDD4 = 0.0 and r ⁄ g = URDD6 = 0.0 . The second trim condition,
TRlM 2, is an abrupt roll at high speed, and assumes zero roll and yaw rates, pb ⁄ 2V = ROLL
and rb ⁄ 2V = YAW = 0.0 , and no side or yaw accelerations, URDD2 = URDD6 = 0.0 . The
ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
The Case Control Section begins with three title commands. Using ECHO = BOTH prints the
input data with and without the annotations. SPC = 1 enforces the constraints in the Bulk Data
Section. Using DISP = STRESS = FORCE = AEROF = APRES = ALL calculates and prints all of
these derived quantities from the analysis. The two subcases request that the two input trim
cases be analyzed. The OUTPUT(PLOT) and remaining entries request plots of the deformed
structure overlaid on the undeformed structure. The Case Control Section ends with BEGIN
BULK.

The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA144D. TIME 5 limits
the total computing time to 5.0 CPU minutes. SOL 144 calls for the Static Aeroelastic Response
DMAP sequence. The Executive Control Section is concluded with the CEND entry.
The input data file is shown in Listing 7-16; the sorted Bulk Data are in Listing 7-17, and those
are followed by selected output in Listing 7-18. Highlights of the selected output are discussed
next.
The OUTPUT FROM THE GRID POINT WEIGHT GENERATOR shows the effect of the
additional fin weight. The half-airplane now weighs 8,050 lbs, and the centroid is now 2.276 ft
aft of GRID 90 and 2.484 ft outboard from the centerline.
The restrained lateral-directional stability derivatives are defined by:

The rotations of the mean axes in the lateral-directional case are defined in a similar manner to
those in the longitudinal case defined by Rodden and Love (1985). However, in the lateral-
directional case there are two sets of rotations that are required in the equations of motion when
using restrained aeroelastic derivatives: one is the rotation of the mean x-axis in the xy-plane,
and the other is the rotation of the mean y-axis in the yz-plane.
The rotation of the mean x-axis in the xy-plane is

in Table 7-4 for the two restraint conditions. Note that the angular acceleration derivatives and

rotations are divided by b ⁄ 2 , because of their definitions in Eq. 7-5 through Eq. 7-9, just as the
pitch acceleration terms are divided by c ⁄ 2 in Example HA144A (p. 181). Note also that the
values of β m and γ m are obtained by adding 1.0 to the tabulated rotations.

The trim solutions follow the printouts of the stability derivatives. The steady roll trim solution

The trim requirement for positive rudder is consistent with the lifting surface theory predicting
proverse aileron yaw. To predict adverse yaw from the aileron requires the additional ability to
predict induced drag on the lifting surfaces. It should also be noted that the predicted dihedral
effect C l does not include the effects from the sweep of the planform.

The pressure data and aerodynamic box forces and moments are shown for the high-speed
maneuvers. These forces, moments, and data are followed by deflections relative to the support
point at GRID 90. Finally, the forces and stresses in the CBAR elements are presented.

CHAPTER 7 263
Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems
7.6 FSW Airplane in Unsymmetric Quasi-Steady Maneuvers
(Example HA144E)
This example demonstrates the use of the MSC.Nastran static aeroelastic capability to predict the
loads produced in unsymmetric maneuvers. A full-span model is necessary to analyze the loads
and stresses of an unsymmetric vehicle or of a symmetric vehicle if its maneuvers are
unsymmetric. The example here is a full-span model of the FSW airplane considered in
symmetric flight in Example HA144A (p. 181) and in antisymmetric maneuvers in Example
HA144D (p. 241). It is only necessary to add the left wing, aileron, and the left side of the canard
to the antisymmetric model, which already contains the right side as well as the fin and rudder,
and to double the for the stiffnesses and weights fuselage and fin.
The left wing is added to the Bulk Data Section beginning with GRIDs 210 through 212 and 220
through 222 which are connected to the left wing elastic axis by RBARs 211, 212, 221, and 222.
The left wing elastic axis consists of CBARs 210 and 220 and has the same properties as the right
wing. The left wing masses are defined by CONM2s 211, 212, 221, and 222. The left canard
structure is described by fuselage degrees of freedom (as is the right canard) and needs no new
data.
The aerodynamic reference geometry and symmetry are modified on the AEROS entry due to
the full-span model: CORD2R 100 is the NACA reference coordinate system; the reference chord
is 10.0 ft; the reference span is 40.0 ft; the reference area becomes 400.0 ft2; and SYMXZ = 0 for no
symmetry. The left wing aerodynamics are added by CAERO1 2100 with its spline SPLINE2
2601 along its axis on CORD2R 20 and are connected to the left wing grid points using SET1 2100.
The left canard aerodynamics are added by CAERO1 2000 along with SPLINE2 1501 and SET1
1000.
The left aileron boxes are listed on AELIST 2100, and the total aileron system is given by AESURF
517, which includes both left and right ailerons. The left aileron hinge line is specified on
CORD2R 210 and gives a positive aileron deflection with trailing edge down, which is the
opposite from the right aileron. The left canard boxes are also added to AESURF 505 using
AELlST 2000. CORD2R 1 defines the positive rotation (leading edge up) for both sides since the
left and right canard rotate together.
The symmetric and antisymmetric controls (AESURF entries) and motions (AESTAT entries) are
combined in this example and result in three control rotations:
• canard, δ e = ELEV, aileron
• δ a = AILERON
• rudder, δr , = RUDDER
Ten motions also result:
• angle of attack, α = ANGLEA
• sideslip angle, β = SIDES
• pitch rate, qc ⁄ 2V = PITCH
• roll rate, pb ⁄ 2V = ROLL
Main Index
264
• yaw rate, rb ⁄ 2V = YAW
··
• vertical load factor, n z = z ⁄ g = URDD3
··
• side load factor, n y = y ⁄ g = URDD2
·
• pitch acceleration, q ⁄ g = URDD5
·
• roll acceleration p ⁄ g = URDD4
·
• yaw acceleration, r ⁄ g = URDD6
In anticipation of using this model in later aeroelastic design sensitivity and optimization
studies, the model is divided between basic data that will not be involved in the optimization,
and design data that will be involved. The basic information is contained in the input file
FSW_TWO.DAT (see Listing 7-19), which includes all of the configuration Bulk Data entries for
GRIDs, the fuselage structure and weight, and the aerodynamic model. The remaining
configuration entries are contained in the Bulk Data Section as shown in Listing 7-20, which
includes the right wing, left wing, and fin structure, as well as the weight data.
Symmetrical Cruise. One symmetrical and four unsymmetrical flight conditions are
demonstrated in this example. The symmetrical condition is included for comparison with
Example HA144A (p. 181). All of the flight conditions are at high speed at sea level with
q = 1200 psf and a Mach number m = 0.9 . With a speed of sound at sea level of 1117 ft/sec,
the m = 0.9 airspeed is V = 0.9 × 1117 = 1005 ft/s . For level flight, the vertical load factor is
n z = URDD3 = – 1.0 in the NACA frame of reference (z is positive downward), the pitch rate
is zero, the aileron and rudder rotations are zero, and the five accelerations are all zero. With
eight trim variables specified, the remaining five are determined: angle of attack, sideslip angle,
canard rotation, and roll and yaw rates. The symmetry of the flight condition should result in
computed zeroes for the antisymmetric trim variables.
Steady Rolling Pullout. The second flight condition is the first unsymmetrical maneuver.
TRIM 2 is a high-speed steady rolling pullout with a vertical load factor of nz = URDD3 = – 4.8 .
Corresponding to the load factor is the steady pitch rate of
q = ( – n z – 1 )g ⁄ V = ( 4.8 – 1.0 )32.174 ⁄ 1005.0 = 0.12165 rad/sec
so qc ⁄ 2V = PITCH = 0.12165 × 10.0 ⁄ 2 × 1005.0 = 0.000605 . The aileron deflection is
δ a = AILERON = 25.0 deg = 0.436332 rad . The steady yaw rate rb ⁄ 2V = YAW = 0.0 , and
the lateral acceleration and roll, pitch, and yaw accelerations are zero: URDD2 = URDD4 =
URDD5 = URDD6 = 0.0. The five variables to be determined are angle of attack, canard rotation,
sideslip angle, rudder rotation, and roll rate. The second unsymmetrical maneuver is TRIM 3,
which is a high-speed pullout with an abrupt roll; therefore, the trim variables are the same as
on the TRIM 2 entry except that the roll rate pb ⁄ 2V ROLL = 0.0 instead of the roll acceleration
being zero. The five variables to be determined are now the angle of attack, canard rotation,
sideslip angle, rudder rotation, and acceleration in roll.
Snap Roll. The third unsymmetrical flight condition is TRIM 4, which is a transition from level
flight into a snap-roll with maximum rotations of canard and rudder that are assumed at
δ e = ELEV = 25.0 deg = 0.436332 rad = δ r = RUDDER . From SUBCASE 1 the initial angle

CHAPTER 7 265

of attack is α = ANGLEA = 0.0031512 rad = 0.18 deg . The variables that are assumed to be
zero at the beginning of the maneuver are aileron rotation, sideslip angle, and pitch, roll, and
yaw rates. The five resulting accelerations will be found.
Steady Climbing Turn. The last unsymmetrical maneuver, TRIM 5, is a steady climbing turn.
This type of maneuver is thoroughly analyzed by Etkin (1972, pp. 423-428). A climb rate of
R ⁄ C = 1500.0 ft/min and a horizontal turning rate of ω = 3.0 deg/sec are assumed along
with the Mach number m = 0.9 at sea level assumed in the previous subcases. The turn
coordinator gyro instrument actually measures the yaw rate r but is calibrated to give the
standard turning rate of 3.0 deg/sec at the bank angle that would be flown in a level turn at
cruise speed. The angular rates in a steady turn with a small climb angle θ as given in Etkin
[1972, Eqs. (10.4,5)] are
p –θ
q = sin φ ω
r cos φ
and the bank angle φ is given by Etkin [1972, Eqs. (10.4,7)] as
ωV
tan φ = --------
g
For this subcase ω = 3.0 deg/sec = 0.052360 rad/sec ; therefore, the bank angle becomes
0.052360 × 1005
tan φ = ------------------------------------------ = 1.635538
32.174
or φ = 58.56 deg . The pitch and yaw rates become
q = 0.044672 rad/sec and r = 0.027313 rad/sec
The roll rate requires the pitch angle in the climb, which is found from the vertical speed and the
angle of attack. The angle of attack in the climb can be estimated from the load factor [Etkin
(1972, Eqs. (10.4,9))].
n z = – sec φ = – 1.9170 = URDD3
and the level flight trim angle of attack from SUBCASE 1 of α = 0.003152 to be
α = 0.003152 × 1.9170 = 0.006042 rad
The angle of climb is
R⁄C 1500 ⁄ 60
γ = ------------- = ----------------------- = 0.024876 rad
V 1005
Thus, the pitch angle is
θ = γ + α = 0.030918 rad
Main Index Finally, the roll rate becomes

p = – θω = – 0.001619 rad/sec

The remaining input parameters are the zero accelerations: URDD2 = URDD4 = URDD5 =
URDD6 = 0.0. The five trim variables to be determined are the angle of attack, the canard
rotation, the sideslip angle, the aileron rotation, and the rudder rotation. The ENDDATA entry
completes the Bulk Data Section. The trim data for the five flight conditions are also shown in
Listing 7-20.
Case Control Commands. The first three entries of the Case Control Section list the headers
that appear at the top of every page of output and at the bottom of every plot output. The ECHO
= BOTH command specifies that both the unsorted and sorted Bulk Data entries be printed in
the output. The SPC command is required by the corresponding Bulk Data entries. The DlSP
command specifies that all displacements be printed. The STRESS, FORCE, AEROF, and APRES
commands request that all stress, force, aerodynamic force, and pressure data be printed. The
pairs of SUBCASE and TRIM commands are also required by the corresponding Bulk Data
entries; the sets of output data are identified according to the subcase number, which may be
different from the TRIM command ID.
The remaining commands in the Case Control Section specify output plot parameters. The
OUTPUT(PLOT) command delimits the output request designated by its argument, in this case,
the structure plotter. The PLOTTER NASTRAN command invokes the NASTRAN plotter
routine. The SET 1 command specifies that all deflections be plotted. The FIND command
requests that the computer program determine the scale and origin for the set to be plotted.
Then the PLOT command invokes the plot routine and specifies that the static deformations be
plotted and outlined. The BEGIN BULK command completes the Case Control Section.
The first statement in the Executive Control Section is ID MSC, HA144E, which is the
identification of this example. The next statement TIME 5 restricts the CPU time to 5.0 minutes
of computing. SOL 144 calls for the Static Aeroelastic Response DMAP sequence. Finally, the
CEND statement completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The Executive Control and Case Control data are shown in Listing 7-20. The sorted
Bulk Data entries are presented in Listing 7-21, and the output results follow in Listing 7-22.
The output data to be discussed begin with the OUTPUT FROM GRID POINT WEIGHT
GENERATOR, which gives the inertial characteristics of the full-span model, including its gross
weight of 16,100 lbs.

CHAPTER 7 267

The next output table is the NON-DIMENSIONAL STABILITY AND CONTROL
DERIVATIVES. The coefficients for longitudinal and lateral-directional motions are preceded
by the transformation from the basic to the reference coordinates; then the rigid and elastic
coefficients are tabulated. The rigid coefficients include those calculated with and without the
spline as a check on the splining. The elastic coefficients are tabulated for both the restrained
and unrestrained conditions. The rigid coefficients can be compared with the longitudinal
coefficients of Example HA144A, and the lateral-directional coefficients of Example HA144D,
and they agree exactly. The elastic coefficients can also be compared with the same previous
examples: the longitudinal restrained aerodynamic coefficients agree exactly, but the inertial
coefficients differ slightly because Example HA144A does not include the fin weight. The
lateral-directional coefficients agree very closely because Example HA144D has the same gross
weight.
The INTERMEDIATE MATRIX... HP follows with the mean axis deflections and rotations. Note
that the printed format is the transpose of the matrix. The first, third, and fifth rows of values
shown beginning with the sixth column can be compared with the three rows given in the
lateral-directional case of Example HA144D; the second and fourth rows of values shown
beginning in the first column can be compared closely (because of the different gross weights)
with the two rows and five columns given in the Iongitudinal case of Example HA144A.
The remaining output includes the AEROSTATIC DATA RECOVERY OUTPUT TABLE which
contains the trim solutions (AEROELASTIC TRIM VARIABLES) and aerodynamic pressure
coefficients, pressures, and loads (NORMAL FORCES and MOMENTS on each aerodynamic
box). The aeroelastic coefficients are output for each subcase but are only shown in Listing 7-22
for the first subcase. The standard MSC.Nastran output of displacements, element forces, and
element stresses follows the aeroelastic output.
SUBCASE 1 determines the trim variables in level flight and is followed by the aerodynamic
loads. The angle of attack is α = 0.003151 rad = 0.18 deg and canard incidence is
δ e = 0.01725 rad = 0.99 deg . The sideslip angle and the yaw and roll rates are computed
zeroes.
The SUBCASE 2 trim solution and aerodynamic loads for the rolling pullout are shown next.
The pullout at 4.8 g’s results in an angle of attack α = 0.01370 rad = 0.78 deg and canard
incidence δ e = 0.08540 rad = 4.89 deg . The steady roll rate achieved with the aileron
deflection δ a of 25 deg is pb ⁄ 2V = 0.2600 and is accompanied by a sideslip angle
β = –0.01824 rad = – 1.05 deg and rudder rotation δ r = 0.02059 rad = 1.18 deg . The positive
rudder rotation is required because the lifting surface theory (Vortex-Lattice method) predicts a
proverse yawing moment from the ailerons.
The SUBCASE 3 trim solution and aerodynamic loads are then shown for the maneuver of a
pullout with an abrupt roll. The pullout results in the same angle of attack and canard incidence
·
as before, but the abrupt aileron input now results in a roll acceleration p ⁄ g = 4.454 rad/ft or
· 2
p = 8211 deg/s with a sideslip angle β = – 0.06297 rad = – 3.61 deg and rudder rotation
δ r = 0.01100 rad = 0.63 deg .
Main Index
268
The SUBCASE 4 trim solution and aerodynamic loads are shown next for the snap-roll entry.
The resulting accelerations are a vertical load factor of n z = – 8.660 g's , a lateral load factor of
· · 2
n y = 3.127 g's , a pitching acceleration of q ⁄ g = 0.5768 rad/ft or q = 1063 deg/s , a rolling
· · 2
acceleration of p ⁄ g = 0.5235 rad/ft or p = 965 deg/s , and a yawing acceleration of
· · 2
r ⁄ g = – 0.5281 rad/ft or r = – 974 deg/s .
The SUBCASE 5 trim solution and aerodynamic loads for the climbing turn are shown last. The
angle of attack is α = 0.005519 rad = 0.32 deg , and the canard angle is
δ e = 0.03402 rad = 1.94 deg . The input data for this case required a pitch angle to determine
the roll rate. The pitch angle was estimated from the sum of the climb angle, known from the
vertical speed, and the angle of attack, which was estimated from the load factor in the turn and
the previously determined angle of attack in level flight. The input roll rate was based on a pitch
angle calculation that assumed an angle of attack of 0.006042 rad = 0.35 deg . The assumed
angle of attack is close to the value just obtained from the climbing turn solution. Another
iteration could be made to bring these numbers into even closer agreement, but it does not
appear necessary. Only small control surface rotations and sideslip angle are required to
coordinate the example turn: aileron, δ a = – 0.00005857 rad = – 0.0034 deg , rudder,
δ r = – 0.0001941 rad = –0.011 deg , and sideslip angle, β = 0.0004591 rad = 0.026 deg .
Data Recovery. Following the SUBCASE 5 trim solution and aerodynamic loads are the
outputs for the five subcases for displacements, forces in the BAR elements, and the stresses in
the BAR elements. The stresses may appear to be high, but recall that their units are psf. The
differences between the stresses in the right and left sides are of interest in the unsymmetrical
maneuvers. The higher levels will, of course, be the critical ones for the purpose of aircraft
design.

7.7 FSW Airplane with Bodies (Example HA144F)
This example is a modification of the full-span Example HA144E to include a fuselage, under-
wing pylon-mounted stores as well as wing incidence and outboard dihedral. Three views are
shown in Figure 7-7. The primary purpose of this example is to illustrate the inclusion of body
interference in a quasi-static problem. However, a tapered fuselage is also chosen to
demonstrate a modeling feature of the Giesing Method of Images that requires moving the
canard vertically (in this example) from its physical location so that its root intersects the
interference tube while maintaining the same span and spanwise location. The DMI input for
wing incidence is affected by the dihedral, and this feature is also illustrated. Only the sea-level
flight condition at m = 0.9 is considered since the example is only intended to illustrate the data
input.
The Configuration. The fuselage is assumed to be 40.0 ft long with the nose 5.0 ft forward of
GRID 97 and the aft end 5.0 ft behind GRID 100. Its assumed circular cross section has a diameter
of 5.0 ft at the root of the wing and tapers in diameter to 4.0 ft at the root of the canard; a parabolic
ogive extends forward of the canard to the nose. The wing and canard spans are maintained at
40.0 and 10.0 ft, respectively, as before. The wing stores are mounted on pylons at the midspan
of each wing. The pylons have a chord of 5.0 ft and extend below the wing 1.0 ft and are centrally
aligned on the wing chord. Each store is 10.0 ft long with a diameter of 1.0 ft in the region of the
pylon with a pointed nose and an aft end. The stores are centrally aligned along the pylons. The
wings are assumed to have an incidence of 0.1 deg relative to the fuselage centerline and to have
a dihedral break at the pylons such that the wing tip chord is 2.0 ft above the inboard wing plane.
Structural models for the canard, pylons, and stores are added. An elastic axis (CBAR)
representation of the canard is assumed from the fuselage centerline (GRID 90) to the canard tips
along the canard midchord (50%) line. A vertical elastic axis is assumed for the pylons between
the wing elastic axis and the store elastic axis, which is assumed along the store centerline. The
same stiffness properties are assumed for the canard, pylon, and store elastic axes as for the
wing.
Additional Structural Model. The additions to the structural model begin with grid points.
First, the wings have been modified to introduce the dihedral: GRIDs 115 and 215 are
introduced on the right and left wing elastic axes, respectively, to define the pylon station and
dihedral break. Next, the points on the canard elastic axis are GRIDs 88, 89, 91, 92, 890, and 910.
GRIDs 88 and 92 are at the left and right canard tips, respectively. GRIDS 89 and 91 are at the
left and right sides of the fuselage, respectively. GRIDs 890 and 910 are also at the sides of the
fuselage, coincident with GRIDs 89 and 91, respectively, and are introduced by the requirements
of the aerodynamic Method of Images, as is discussed below. The canard hinge line is now
assumed to be located along its elastic axis (in previous examples with this configuration, the
hinge line was assumed to be located at the canard quarter-chord). GRIDs 150 and 151 locate the
right pylon/store: 150 is forward on the store elastic axis, and 151 is aft on the store elastic axis
and also at the bottom of the pylon elastic axis. The corresponding GRIDs on the left pylon/store
are 250 and 251.

The wing elastic axes are represented by two BAR elements on each side. On the right wing,
CBAR 115 connects GRIDs 110 and 115, and CBAR 120 connects GRIDs 115 and 120. On the left
wing, CBAR 215 connects GRIDs 210 and 215, and CBAR 220 connects GRIDs 215 and 220. The
canard structural elements also consist of BARs: CBAR 89 between GRIDs 88 and 89, CBAR 90
between GRIDs 890 and 90, CBAR 91 between GRIDs 90 and 910, and CBAR 92 between GRIDs
91 and 92. The right pylon structural element is CBAR 151 between GRIDs 115 and 150, and the
right store structural element is CBAR 150 between GRIDs 150 and 151. The corresponding left
pylon/store elements are CBARs 251 and 250. All of these new elements refer to the property
and material entries for the wing, PBAR 101 and MAT1 1, for their stiffnesses. No additional
weights are considered in the additions of the canard structure and the pylons and stores.

Aerodynamic Model. The wings are divided into two panels on each side, having the same size
boxes as before, with the fuselage replacing the inboard strips of boxes on each side, and also
with an outboard dihedral angle (11.31 deg). The right inboard wing is specified on lifting
surface entry CAERO1 1104, which refers to PAERO1 1000 for the identification of any
associated bodies. PAERO1 1000 now refers to the fuselage CAERO2 4000, the right store
CAERO2 4510, and the left store, CAERO2 4610. CAERO1 1104 then specifies 3 equal span strips
and 4 equal chord boxes in the first interference group. The planform geometry on the
continuation entry begins with the leading edge location at the root of the wing (which is now
displaced by the radius of the fuselage in the wing region, 2.5 ft), the root chord length, and the
leading edge location at the dihedral break and its chord length.
The right outboard wing is specified on entry CAERO1 1116, which associates the panel with the
three bodies using the PAERO1 entry and divides the panel equally into four spanwise strips
and four chordwise boxes in the first interference group. The continuation entry provides the
leading edge location and chord length at the dihedral break and then the leading edge location
and chord length at the tip.
Two splines are now needed on each wing because of the dihedral break. On the right inboard
wing, SPLINE2 1602 with its axis CORD2R 2 as before, but now with grid points designed by
SETG 1101. On the right outboard wing, the spline is prescribed by SPLINE2 1603 with a new
axis CORD2R 3 and grid points designated by SETG 1102 prescribe the spline. CAERO1s 2100
and 2116 provide similar data for the left wing, arbitrarily numbering the boxes from the tip
inboard, whereas the right wing box numbering scheme begins at the root and increases
outboard. The left wing spline and spline axes are also similar: for the outboard wing, SPLINE2
2601 with CORD2R 30 and SETG 2102, and for the inboard wing, SPLINE2 2602 with CORD2R
20 and SETG 2101.
Pylons. The right wing pylon is specified on lifting surface entry CAERO1 3500 and is
modelled as one strip with two chordwise boxes and is associated with all three bodies. Its
spline is SPLINE2 4520 with axis CORD2R 450 and structural connection to grid points SETG
4521. The left wing pylon is similar to the lifting surface entry CAERO1 3600; its spline is
SPLINE2 4620 with axis CORD2R 460 and structural connection to points SETG 4621.
Canard. The right side of the canard is specified on entry CAERO1 1000. It associates the panel
with the three bodies, specifies the right side geometry in the Cartesian coordinate system
CORD2R 900 (for reasons to be discussed below regarding the requirements of the Method of
Images), divides the span unequally into two strips with four chordwise boxes via AEFACT 1000
in order to align the trailing vortices with the wing in the same interference group. The geometry
on the continuation entry begins with the leading edge location at the root of the canard
(displaced here by the radius of the fuselage in the canard region, 2.0 ft), the root chord length,
and then the leading edge location of the tip and the tip chord. The right canard is now
interconnected using the new SPLINE2 1502 with its elastic axis along CORD2R 90 to the
structural grid points on both sides, SET1 1000. The hinge line is also aligned with the elastic
axis in this modification to Example HA144E. CAERO1 2000 and AEFACT 2000 provide similar
data for the left side of the canard but with the box numbering scheme beginning at the tip
leading edge. The associated spline is SPLINE2 2501 with the same axis CORD2R 90 and
structural connection SET1 1000.

CHAPTER 7 297
Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems
Fin. The fin is again specified on entry CAERO1 3100 but with only three strips because of the
presence of the fuselage and modified geometry on the continuation entry for the leading edge
location at the fuselage junction.
Fuselage. The fuselage aerodynamic properties are given on entry CAERO2 4000:
• In the PID field, the reference is to the entry PAERO2 4020, which specifies additional
data for the fuselage.
• The CP field refers to the coordinate system for the fuselage geometry; in this case, it is
blank and thus refers to the basic system.
• The NSB field specifies eight equal length divisions of the fuselage.
• Because of the NSB field specification, the LSB field is not needed.
• The NINT field also specifies eight equal divisions of the interference tube.
• The LINT field, like the LSB field, is again not needed.
• The IGID field specifies the same interference group as the other aerodynamic
components.
The continuation entry contains the coordinates of the fuselage nose and its length.
The additional fuselage data on entry PAERO2 4020 include:
• The ORIENT field, which is the body orientation, (in this case ZY) specifies that the
fuselage can move both vertically and laterally.
• The WIDTH field, which is actually the semiwidth or radius of 2.5 ft in this case since
the cross section is circular. This is the maximum width of the fuselage at the root of
the wing, and this also determines the width of the interference tube.
• The AR field, is the aspect ratio (the ratio of the height to the width) of the possibly
elliptical cross section; in this case, AR = 1.0 specifies a circular section.
• The LRSB field, refers to the entry AEFACT 4015, which lists the half-widths at the nine
end points of the eight slender body elements.
• The LRIB field is the reference to a list of slender body half-widths at the end points of
the eight interference elements but is left blank in accordance with the
recommendation in “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30.
• The LTH1 field refers to the entry AEFACT 4018, which lists the angular positions (the
q1 array) around the periphery of the interference tube for averaging the interfering
flow from the lifting surfaces and other slender bodies; in this case, four sampling
points are selected beginning at 45 deg and every 90 deg beyond.
• The LTH2 field could refer to a alternate list of angular positions, as discussed in
“Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30 (the θ 2 array), but is not used here.
The continuation entry lists pairs of first and last interference elements that use the array; in this
case, all eight interference elements use the same array. The fuselage spline is SPLINE2 4000 and
is connected to structural grid points SET1 4001. Note that the linear spline used for a body does
not require the specification of a coordinate system for the spline axis along the body.

298
The right store aerodynamic properties are entered on CAERO2 4510. The third field of the entry
refers to PAERO2 4520 for additional body data. The fifth and sixth fields specify four equal
length divisions of both the body and its interference tube. The continuation locates the store
nose below the wing leading edge and gives its length as 10.0 ft. The additional properties on
PAERO2 4520 include the ZY degrees of freedom, the reference width of 0.5 ft, and AR = 1.0 for
the circular cross section. LRSB refers to AEFACT 4515 for the list of store half-widths at the five
end points of the four slender body elements, and LTH1 refers to the same q1-array used for the
fuselage, AEFACT 4018. The continuation entry specifies that the four interference elements will
use the single array. The right store spline is SPLINE2 4525 and is interconnected to grids SET1
4525. The left store CAERO2 4610 entry is similar except for its nose location and uses the
additional data for the right store on entry PAERO2 4520. Its spline is SPLINE2 4625 with
connections to SET1 4625.
Wing Incidence and Dihedral. The remaining new configuration data are the DMI entries to
specify the wing incidence of 0.1 degrees = 0.0017453 radians . Because of the dihedral angle
–1
of Γ = tan 0.2 = 11.31 deg , the outboard wing panels have less incidence than the inboard
panels by a factor of cos G, and the outboard value becomes 0.0017114 rad . The DMI name for
incidence, twist, and camber is W2GJ. Since the incidence is constant for a number of boxes in
this example, the DMI input can use the convenience of the "THRU" data input option, but it
requires the j-set numbering of the aerodynamic boxes in the sequence from the right wing root
to the left wing root (see “Aerodynamic Theories” on page 30). The numbering begins with the
lowest numbered CAERO1 identification number. The right side canard (CAERO1 1000) has
eight boxes; thus, the first inboard wing (CAERO1 1104) box is No. 9; the last box on the right
inboard wing is No. 20 since there are 12 boxes on the inboard wing. There are 16 boxes on the
right outboard wing (CAERO1 1116), and their numbers range from No. 21 to No. 36. The left
canard (CAERO1 2000) intervenes in the sequence with its eight boxes; therefore, the next 16
wing boxes begin with No. 45 at the outboard left wing (CAERO1 2100) tip and range to No. 60
at the dihedral break. The twelve inboard left wing (CAERO1 2116) boxes range from No. 61 to
No. 72. The remaining lifting surfaces are beyond the range of concern to DMI W2GJ (and the
bodies must have even higher numbers). However, it is necessary to specify the correct number
of rows for the matrix which is the M field (152 in this case, see “Aerodynamic Modeling” on
page 95) on the parent DMI entry.
Interference. The final modeling task is to satisfy the requirements of Giesing's Method of
Images [Giesing, Kalman, and Rodden (1972a, Section 2.5.8)]. This example has a tapered
fuselage, and is narrower forward in the region of the canard and wider aft at the root of the
wing. The idealization selected chose the aft fuselage cross section as the reference for the
interference tube which, in this example, is the circular cross section of the aft fuselage slender
body. This idealization places its emphasis on modeling the aft fuselage interference effects,
rather than on the effects of the canard. (In order to emphasize the effects of the canard, the
interference tube would have chosen the fuselage cross section in the canard region as its
reference.) With the larger diameter interference tube, the physical model has the canard root
inside the interference tube. If the physical model were used for the data input, numerical
singularities could arise because the external singularities of the lifting surface could be inside
with the images. This situation violates the requirements of the Method of Images, which
permits only a system of images inside the interference tube (and the line of axial doublets along
Main Index
CHAPTER 7 299
Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems
the body centerline). The physical model of the lifting surfaces must be modified to maintain all
parts of lifting surfaces outside of all interference tubes. A further judgment is required
regarding which aeroelastic characteristics to emphasize: longitudinal or lateral-directional.
This example emphasizes the longitudinal characteristics; therefore, the results will be more
comparable to Example HA144A (and HA144E).
The canard is raised vertically until its root intersects the interference tube at a height of 1.5 ft
(recall that the fuselage has a radius of 2.0 ft at the root of the canard and the interference tube
has a diameter of 2.5 ft). A new coordinate system, CORD2R 900, is introduced and the canard
geometry is specified in this system. This coordinate system has its origin at the fuselage
centerline, the extension of the canard leading edge, and an elevation of 1.5 ft relative to the basic
coordinate system. This coordinate system moves the canard physically so that no part of it is
within the interference tube and satisfies the requirements of the Method of Images. However,
there is now a structural discontinuity that can be resolved by the use of multipoint constraints
(MPCs). Four GRIDs are introduced at the intersections of the canard elastic axis and the sides
of the fuselage; these are GRIDs 91 and 910 on the right side and GRIDs 89 and 890 on the left
side. The right canard elastic axis CBAR 91 extends from the fuselage centerline GRID 90 to the
side of the fuselage GRID 910 which is located in the basic coordinate system; the elastic axis
continues outboard in CBAR 92 from GRIDs 91 to 92 located in CORD2R 900. GRIDs 91 and 910
are in identical locations but in different coordinate systems. The continuity of structural loads
is assured by MPC 10, which provides the identity of all six components of GRIDS 91 and 910.
Similarly, the left elastic axis, CBAR 90, connects GRIDs 90 and 890 within the fuselage in the
basic coordinates, and CBAR 89 connects GRIDs 88 and 89 on the canard in CORD2R 900. Again,
GRIDs 89 and 890 are identically located but in different coordinate systems, and MPC 10 also
guarantees structural continuity by connecting all six components of GRIDs 89 and 890.
Trim Condition. Only the level flight condition at sea level (Mach number m = 0.9 and
dynamic pressure q = 1200 psf ) is considered in the present example (corresponding to
Subcase 1 of previous Example HA144E) since this example is primarily intended to illustrate
the inclusion of slender bodies in a quasi-static aeroelastic analysis. The effects of the pylons,
bodies, and dihedral on the stability derivatives may be of interest, and a limited comparison
with the longitudinal values of Example HA144E is shown in Table 7-5. The trim angle of attack
and canard rotation are different from HA144E, not only because of the bodies but also because
of the addition of incidence and dihedral. The aerodynamic and structural loads are not
discussed here but are shown in Listing 7-25 as information for the user.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control commands and the Executive Control statements
are the same as in ExampleHA144E with the exception of the titles. The input data file echo for
this example is shown below in Listing 7-23 followed by the sorted Bulk Data entries in
Listing 7-24 and the output in Listing 7-25.
Output. The significant output data in this example relate to the addition of the slender bodies
to the configuration. The stability derivatives are compared to those from Example HA144E
(without the bodies) in Table 7-5, and the aerodynamic loads on the bodies which are contained
at the end of the AEROSTATIC DATA RECOVERY OUTPUT TABLE in Listing 7-25. The most
significant differences relate to the canard, as would be expected.

Aerodynamic Forces and Pressures. Pressures are not available for the body elements but
tabulated in place of the pressures are the values of µ I , the strengths of the acceleration potential
interference doublets, and µ s , the strengths of the acceleration potential slender element
doublets. The loads on the slender elements are listed under NORMAL FORCES and
MOMENTS and their components are labeled as YSB and ZSB for y-forces and z-forces,
respectively. Their moments are zero because the grid point for all aerodynamic elements is at
midchord and the distributed loading on a slender element has been assumed to act at this point.
The eight fuselage element numbers are 4000 through 4007 and their side forces, YSB, are
computed zeros because of the symmetry of the configuration and the maneuver; the vertical
forces, ZSB, are all positive, upward in the aerodynamic coordinate system. The external store
numbers are 4510 through 4513 on the right side, and 4610 through 4613 on the left. The side
forces on both stores act away from the fuselage (the net pylon forces, LS 3500 and 3501 on the
right and 3601 and 3601 on the left, also act away from the fuselage). The vertical store forces act
upward on the forward three elements of each store but downward on the aft boattail elements
as expected from Slender Body Theory.
Dihedral Effects. As previously noted, the Vortex-Lattice method (VLM) in MSC.Nastran
cannot predict all of the lateral-directional characteristics of wings. In this example, outboard
dihedral was added to the wings. The dihedral effect refers to the rolling moment coefficient due
to sideslip. The total dihedral effect of a wing should include the effects of geometric dihedral
and its change under symmetric load factor and the effect of sweep. The first two effects can be
found in MSC.Nastran. The geometric dihedral is accounted for in this example. The effect of
load factor can be found by a restart that adds the previously determined deflections to the
planform description on the wing CAERO1 entries, and the total geometric dihedral effect at the
trim load factor will be obtained. The effect of sweep on the dihedral effect is a second order
effect, depending on the lift coefficient, and can be estimated by the methods of Finck and Hoak
(1976). In the case of general configurations with vertical surfaces, e.g., the fin and pylons in this
example, MSC.Nastran will also predict their additional contributions to the dihedral effect.

CHAPTER 7 321
Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample Problems
7.8 Unit Solutions for Loadings of the FSW Airplane
(Examples HA144GA and HA144GB)
The preceding examples of static aeroelastic analysis all result in trimmed solutions. For some
design studies, it may be desirable to separate the trimmed loading into the unit solutions
generated by each trim variable. These solutions are available from MSC.Nastran but require
two different calculations, one for the initial incidence distribution and the other for the trim
variables.
g
The first calculation provides the solution for the static incidence distribution { w j } and any
e
experimental pressure input { f j } (the DMI entries W2GJ and FA2J, respectively) and requires a
restrained vehicle, i.e., the SUPORT entry must be replaced by an SPC entry. As a consequence
of this restraint, stability derivatives are not calculated, but all of the user-requested outputs will
be found: e.g., aerodynamic pressures and forces, structural deflections, forces, etc. The stability
derivatives can be obtained in the second calculation. This first calculation may also include any
of the aerodynamic trim variables such as angle of attack, but it cannot include any of the
acceleration trim variables such as a load factor.
The second calculation requires a DMAP ALTER, the SUPORT entry, and one TRIM entry. If
there are additional requested outputs (e.g., pressures), the Case Control Section must also
include as many TRIM Subcases as there are trim variables. The only direct matrix input
included in the unit trim variable analysis is the empirical correction factors [ W kk ] (the DMI
entry WKK). Stability derivatives are obtained only for the first trim condition (if there is more
than one) before the DMAP alter controls the solution. As many solutions are obtained as there
are trim variables, and the solutions are for a unit value of each trim variable in sequence.
Example HA144A (p. 181) is modified to demonstrate the two calculations. In the first modified
file, Example HA144GA illustrates the replacement of SUPORT,90,35 by SPC1,90,35 and obtains
three subcase solutions. Subcase 1 analyzes the case of the initial incidence of 0.1 deg on the
wing with all trim variables set to zero on the TRIM 1 entry. Subcase 2 assumes no initial
incidence and all trim variables set to zero except for the angle of attack, ANGLEA = 1.0. Subcase
3 also assumes no incidence and all trim variables are set to zero except for the canard rotation,
ELEV = 1.0. The output from Subcases 2 and 3 should be the same as the corresponding
solutions from our second ALTERed calculation, as will be seen.
The Executive and Case Control Sections of Example HA144GA are shown in Listing 7-26 and
the Sorted Bulk Data entries are in Listing 7-27. The output of aerodynamic pressures and
forces, and structural deflections, forces, and stresses follows in Listing 7-28.
In the second modified file, Example HA144GB illustrates the unit solutions for the five trim
variables: angle of attack, pitch rate, normal acceleration, pitching acceleration, and canard
rotation. Only minor modifications to Example HA144GA are required to obtain the input file
for HA144GB. The Executive Control Section, containing the DMAP ALTER, and the Case
Control Section are shown in Listing 7-29, the Sorted Bulk Data are shown in Listing 7-30. The
Case Control Section contains five dummy TRIM subcases, giving a total of five subcases, in
order also to obtain the unit solutions for structural deflections, element forces and stresses. The
output is contained in Listing 7-31 and begins with the first subcase stability derivatives that are
in agreement with Example HA144A (see Listing 7-3, Subcase 2). Next is the matrix FFAJ, the

aerodynamic box pressures. The first column is for the unit angle of attack and the last column
is for the unit canard rotation; these agree with Subcases 2 and 3, respectively, of Example
HA144GA (Listing 7-28), as anticipated above. The next matrix, PAK, contains the lift and
moment on each aerodynamic box, and again the first and last column are in agreement with
HA144GA. This is followed by more standard output for Subcase 1 and then the additional
requested output of the structural deflections and element forces and stresses for the five unit
trim variables.
These unit solutions can be output from MSC.Nastran in the OUTPUT4 format for use in
subsequent postprocessors.

8.1 Overview
The examples in this chapter illustrate a range of unsteady aerodynamic problems, primarily
flutter analyses, using the three flutter methods and six aerodynamic methods available in
MSC.Nastran. Estimation of aerodynamic static and dynamic stability derivatives and
interactions with control systems and thermal loading are also demonstrated.
Thirteen examples (or example pairs) are presented:
• Example HA145A (p. 342) presents a two-dimensional airfoil mounted on a fuselage
with a plunging degree of freedom. This example illustrates the characteristics of the
PK-method of flutter analysis for predicting both flutter and divergence of an
unrestrained vehicle.
The next three examples are flutter analyses of the cantilevered BAH wing:
• Example HA145B (p. 357) and Example HA145C (p. 373) illustrate the PK- and K-
methods for finding flutter and divergence speeds and also show significant
differences in results between the Doublet-Lattice method (DLM) and Strip Theory.
• Example HA145D (p. 385) includes the aileron using Strip Theory with an
approximation to the circulation function and experimental correction factors for the
spanwise loading.
The next four examples illustrate the effects of Mach number and demonstrate experimental
correlation with wind-tunnel tests of a series of 15-deg swept-wing models:
• Example HA145E (p. 397) uses the KE-flutter method with DLM aerodynamics at a
Mach number of m = 0.45 .
• Example HA145F (p. 411) uses the PK-method with supersonic Mach Box
aerodynamics at m = 1.3 .
• Examples HA145FA and HA145FB (p. 422) reconsider Example HA145F using
ZONA51 aerodynamics.
• Example HA145G (p. 440) uses the PK-method with the high supersonic Piston Theory
aerodynamics at m = 3.0 .
The remaining examples present a variety of problems:
• Examples HA145HA and HA145HB (p. 458) perform supersonic panel flutter analyses
of a square plate using Piston Theory and ZONA51 aerodynamics.
• Example HA145I (p. 495) demonstrates the calculation of aerodynamic static and
dynamic stability derivatives. Example HA145I applies the DLM to the forward-
swept-wing (FSW) airplane to obtain aerodynamic coefficients for lateral-directional
motions.
• Example HA110A (p. 509) and Example HA145J (p. 533) illustrate the inclusion of a
control system in two different stability analyses. These examples consider a simplified
air-to-air missile, first without and then with the effects of an airstream, in
representative servoelastic and aeroservoelastic stability analyses.

• Examples HA153A and HA145KR (p. 555) present an aerothermoelastic analysis of a
rectangular wing constructed and heated in a manner to emphasize thermoelastic
effects on the aeroelastic characteristics. The solution requires sequential analyses of
the nonlinear effects of temperature on the stiffness matrix and restarts in the
aeroelastic analyses. Only the flutter analysis is demonstrated. However, the
requirements for restarts for static and dynamic aeroelastic analyses are also discussed.

8.2 Three Degree of Freedom Airfoil and Fuselage
(Example HA145A)
A two degree of freedom (2 DOF) airfoil has been studied by Rodden and Bellinger (1982a) to
illustrate the characteristics of the PK-flutter method. Later, a “fuselage” DOF in plunge was
added to the problem by Rodden and Bellinger (1982b) to investigate the effects of a rigid body
motion. The 3 DOF case is considered here.
The airfoil is connected to the fuselage mass by bending and torsion springs, and the fuselage is
free to plunge, as shown in Figure 8-1. The airfoil center of gravity may be at either 37% or 45%
chord; its aerodynamic center is at 25% chord, and the springs are connected to the “elastic axis”
at 40% chord. The remaining parameters for the analysis at sea level include a chord of 6.0 ft, a
radius of gyration of 1.5 ft about the elastic axis, a mass ratio µ = 20.0 , uncoupled bending and
torsion frequencies of 10.0 and 25.0 rad/sec, respectively, and equal structural damping
coefficients g = 0.03 in both modes.

Both the exact Theodorsen function and an approximation are used for the circulation function.
The approximation constants are those of W. P. Jones (1945): b 0 = 1.0 , b 1 = 0.165 , b 2 = 0.335 ,
β 1 = 0.041 , and β 2 = 0.320 . The mass ratio and the foregoing parameters translate to the
following dimensional input parameters:
Airfoil Mass = Fuselage Mass = 1.3447 slugs
Static Unbalance about Elastic Axis = +0.24205 slug-ft for 37% c.g.
-0.40342 slug-ft for 45% c.g.

Bending Stiffness = 134.47 lb/ft
Torsion Stiffness = 1891.0 ft-lb/rad
Bending Damping = 0.40341 lb-sec/ft
Torsion Damping = 2.2692 ft-lb-sec/rad
The input data are set up with options for both centers of gravity and both aerodynamic
representations. The option selected is the 37% chord center of gravity with the approximate
Theodorsen function with the remaining options commented out using a “$” in the first column
of the data entry.
Bulk Data Entries. The Bulk Data entries specify that the two-dimensional airfoil has unit
width. GRID 100 is on the airfoil centerline at the elastic axis with freedoms in plunge (T3) and
pitch (R2). GRID 101 defines the elastic axis at the outboard edge of the strip and is connected
to GRID 100 by RBAR 101. GRID 102 is the fuselage with only the plunge degree of freedom.
CELAS2 103 is the bending spring connecting the airfoil elastic axis to the fuselage, and
CELAS2 105 is the torsion spring between the airfoil elastic axis and ground (since the fuselage
does not pitch). CMASS2 111 is the fuselage concentrated mass, and CONM1 110 gives the mass
coupling of the airfoil. CDAMP2 123 is the bending damper between the airfoil and the fuselage,
and CDAMP2 125 is the torsion damper to ground. ElGR selects the Modified Givens method
MGlV for analysis of the vibration eigenvalues and eigenvectors. This completes the structural
data.
Next, the aerodynamic data are considered. The AERO entry includes a velocity of 100.0 fps
(this is not needed for a flutter analysis but is required for a response analysis), the reference
chord, sea-level density, and no symmetry or ground effect. The CAERO4 entry specifies Strip
Theory for one strip with its leading edge 2.4 ft upstream from the elastic axis, a 6.0 ft chord and
a unit width. Two PAERO4 entries are shown: one for the exact Theodorsen function and the
other for the optional approximate circulation function. PAERO4 leads to the exact function by
taking CLA = LCLA = CIRC = LClRC = 0, the absence of a control surface is indicated by DOC1
= CAOC1 = GAPO1 = 0.0, and no AEFACT entry is required. The optional PAERO4 specifies
the lift curve slope of 2π via CLA = LCLA = 0, a two-term approximation via ClRC = 2 with the
W. P. Jones coefficients on AEFACT 13 for Mach number, m = 0.0 . This approximation to the
circulation function is (Fung, 1969, p. 215):

C ( k ) ≈ 1 – ---------------------------------- – ------------------------------- Eq. 8-1
1 – i0.041 ⁄ k 1 – i0.32 ⁄ k
A series of reduced frequencies for m = 0.0 is specified on two MKAERO1 entries from
k = 0.001 to k = 5.0 in order to cover the frequency range of interest in the PK-flutter solution.
The linear spline SPLlNE2 provides the data for the connection between the aerodynamics and
the structure, which consists simply of aerodynamic element CAERO4 1000 and SET1 of grid
points 100 and 101. The spline is rigidly attached to the elastic axis by selecting DTHX = DTHY
= 0.0.

FLFACT 1 gives the air density ratio and FLFACT 2 gives the Mach number. FLFACT 3 gives
the series of velocities for flutter analysis by the PK-method; the negative values call for flutter
modes (eigenvectors) as well as eigenvalues to be printed. The FLUTTER 3 entry specifies the
British Flutter Method (PK). The FLUTTER 4 entry specifies the American Flutter Method (K),
and FLFACT 4 provides the series of reduced frequencies required by the K-method. The
ENDDATA entry ends the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. In the Case Control Section, the title and label are shown along
with the other options. ECHO = BOTH requests that the annotated Bulk Data Section with all
comment entries be printed as well as the sorted data entries. METHOD = 1 specifies the
eigenvalue method (ElGR entry) for the vibration analyses. SVEC = ALL requests the vibration
modes printed for the degrees of freedom in the analysis set. DlSP = ALL requests the
displacements at all grid points. The multiple subcase capability of SOL 145 is illustrated by
requesting analyses by two flutter methods. In Subcase 1, FMETHOD = 3 specifies the PK-flutter
method (FLUTTER entry); in Subcase 2, FLUTTER = 4 specifies the K-method, and the complex
eigenvalue method by CMETHOD = 20 as required in the K-method. The remaining data
specify the plotting formats for the V-g and V-f curves. BEGIN BULK is placed at the end of the
Case Control Section.
In the Executive Control Section, ID MSC, HA145A identifies this problem. TIME 5 restricts the
run time to 5.0 CPU minutes. SOL 145 calls for the Aerodynamic Flutter DMAP Sequence, and
CEND completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. Both annotated and sorted input data are shown below in Listing 8-1 and Listing 8-2,
respectively, and selected output follows in Listing 8-3. The plotted V-g and V-f curves for the
PK-method are shown in Figure 8-2.
The printed output begins with the vibration analysis which gives all three natural frequencies,
generalized masses and vibration modes of the undamped, unrestrained system. The rigid body
frequency is a computed zero (using the SUPORT entry would result in an exact zero).
The output from the first subcase is the PK-flutter analysis. The first item is the zero frequency
roots and is followed by the modal participation factors that were requested by SVEC and the
negative velocities on the FLFACT entry. Next, the flutter summaries are presented, in which
Point = No. refers to mode number for all velocities, followed by the flutter modes at the grid
points requested by DISP and the negative velocities.
PK-Method Results. The unique characteristics of the PK-method should be noted. In the case
of the constrained fuselage (which is obtained by adding the T3 constraint to GRID 102 in this
example), Rodden and Bellinger (1982a) showed that the PK-results were not continuous. A
discontinuity occurs at some velocity (slightly different in the two representation of the
Theodorsen function) at which the PK algorithm converges to an aerodynamic lag root (with
zero frequency) rather than the bending root. The PK algorithm in MSC.Nastran then skips over
the bending root in the reduced frequency “lining-up” process and next obtains the torsion root.
In the unrestrained case (the present example), Rodden and Bellinger (1982b) did not find an
obvious aerodynamic lag root because the PK solution appeared to be continuous, as is shown
in Figure 8-2. The reason for the different behavior between restrained and unrestrained
systems is a subject for further study. From Figure 8-2 and the printed Flutter Summary for
Main Index
CHAPTER 8 345
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
Point 2, the “dynamic divergence” speed (i.e., the speed at which the oscillatory instability finds
its origin in a tendency to static divergence) and frequency are 232.0 ft/s and 1.177 Hz,
respectively. From Figure 8-2 and the Flutter Summary for Point 3, the flutter speed and
frequency are 283.1 ft/s and 2.692 Hz, respectively. These results are only slightly different from
those obtained by the “transient solution” in Rodden and Bellinger (1982b).
Some explanation of the damping in Point 1 of the PK-Flutter Summary is also in order. The
unrestrained system, free to plunge, has a zero eigenvalue as can be shown exactly with
frequency-independent aerodynamics (i.e., with aerodynamic lags neglected). A frequency of
zero is given for Point 1 in the Summary, but the damping is not zero. The damping should be
regarded as a computed zero and should not be interpreted as an instability between 120 and
140 ft/s.
Eigenvector Output. The eigenvectors at speeds near divergence and flutter are also printed
for the PK-method. The modal eigenvectors (modal participation factors) are shown before the
Flutter Summaries and the physical eigenvectors are shown after the Summaries. In the physical
eigenvectors, Point IDs 100 and 101 show the deflection and rotation of the airfoil elastic axis and
Point ID 102 shows the fuselage deflection. The physical eigenvectors are not normalized.
K-Method Results. Listing 8-3 concludes with Flutter Summaries for Subcase 2, the K-method;
no modal data have been requested. The dynamic divergence speed and frequency are found
by interpolating the second mode results to g = 0 between Points 6 and 7. The speed and
frequency by linear interpolation are 231.9 ft/s and 1.196 Hz, respectively. The flutter speed and
frequency are found by interpolating the third mode results between Points 2 and 3. The speed
and frequency are 301.2 ft/s and 2.658 Hz, respectively. The interpolated results for the K-
method differ slightly from the PK-method because of the wide spacing of the reduced
frequencies in the K-method. A more refined K-method will lead to agreement with the PK-
method.

CHAPTER 8 357
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.3 Flutter Analysis of Jet Transport Wing by Lifting Surface
Theory (Example HA145B)
This example of the BAH wing is considered for its static aeroelastic characteristics in roll in
Example HA144B (p. 206) and for its flutter characteristics using Strip Theory by Rodden (1959a)
and Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979). The present analysis illustrates the use of the
subsonic Doublet-Lattice method (DLM) in a flutter analysis by the PK-method. The model is
shown in Figure 8-3.
For this example, the structural model is the same as discussed in Example HA144B (p. 206)
except that the aileron and the CONM1 and CELAS2 Bulk Data entries that represented the
model’s inertia and stiffness have been removed. The structural and mass data are contained in
input files BAH_STRUCT.DAT (see Listing 7-4) and BAH_MASS.DAT (see Listing 7-5). The
effect of structural damping, which was available in the dynamic problem, has been added via
a PARAM,KDAMP,+1 entry and tabular values listed on a TABDMP1 entry. In this case, a zero
value of structural damping is input for comparison with previous solutions to this problem that
did not include structural damping a priori.
The absence of the aileron also permits a simpler aerodynamic model than in Example HA144B.
The aerodynamic model is divided into six strips across the span, as shown in Figure 8-3, and
divided equally into four boxes chordwise. This aerodynamic idealization, while not
representative of industrial practice, is consistent with the idealization of the structure into a
small number of grid points.
The new Bulk Data entries relate to the different aerodynamic idealization and the items
required by the dynamic analysis, i.e., structural damping, and the vibration and flutter
analyses. The PARAM KDAMP and TABDMP1 entries for structural damping have been
discussed above. AERO specifies the aerodynamic coordinate system CORD2R 1 with its
positive x-direction streamwise, the reference semichord, sea-level density, and symmetrical
motion. The DLM aerodynamics are called for on CAERO1 1001, which calls for the body entry
PAERO1 1000. (This entry is required even though no fuselage effects are considered.) The
CAERO1 entry also includes: the basic coordinate system for the wing geometry, four equal
chordwise divisions, AEFACT 77 to specify six unequal strips, and interference group IGlD 1.
The continuation entry gives the geometrical data at the root and tip of the wing.
Splines. The aerodynamic and structural grids are connected by the linear SPLlNE2 along the
35% chord elastic axis, which connects to all of the aerodynamic boxes outboard of the root strip,
i.e., boxes 1005 through 1024. The spline is not connected to the root strip (boxes 1001 through
1004) since no motion of the fuselage is assumed, but the spline does go through all 11 structural
grid points via SET1 14. The spline coordinate system CID is also the basic system because all
geometry has been expressed relative to the elastic axis. The SPLlNE2 continuation entry sets
DTHX = DTHY = -1.0 because there are no rotational degrees of freedom in the GENEL
structural model. The aerodynamic and spline data are contained in the file BAH_AERO5.DAT
and are shown in Listing 8-4.
The vibration analysis uses EIGR 10, which requests the Modified Givens method to obtain all
10 modes normalized on the maximum deflection.

Flutter Bulk Data Entries. The modal flutter analysis requires a number of generalized
aerodynamic influence coefficient matrices. These are obtained for the (m, k) pairs on the
MKAERO1 entry. A Mach number of 0.0 and a reduced frequency range from 0.001 to 1.0 are
chosen; selection of a very low reduced frequency in the PK-method is advised if divergence is
to be determined for a restrained surface or if a low frequency root, e.g., the short period, is to
be determined for an unrestrained vehicle. FLUTTER 40 selects the PK-method for a density
ratio of 1.0 on FLFACT 1, a Mach number of 0.0 on FLFACT 2, and a series of velocities from 4800
in/s to 25,200 in/s on FLFACT 4 (flutter eigenvectors are requested on FLFACT 4 by negative
velocities). Only linear interpolation on k of the (m,k) aerodynamic coefficients is allowed for
the PK-method so the IMETH field is left blank, and five flutter roots are requested. The optional
PARAM,LMODES entry uses all 10 vibration modes in the modal formulation so there is no
problem with modal convergence when comparisons are made with earlier direct solutions.
Finally, PARAM,VREF divides the solution velocities by 12.0 in/ft to output the velocities in
units of ft/s. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with the Title, Subtitle, and Label
commands. ECHO = BOTH prints both annotated and sorted Bulk Data entries. SPC = 1 points
to the Bulk Data entry SPC1 1, which adds the constraints in the plunge and pitch degrees of
freedom to the fuselage. METHOD = 10 points to ElGR 10 for vibration analysis and
SVEC = ALL requests the print of the vibration modes of the a-set grid points. FMETHOD = 40
points to the FLUTTER 40 entry for the PK-flutter method. DlSP = ALL prints all the
displacements of the grid points in addition to the modal eigenvectors. The BEGIN BULK
command ends the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section gives the identification ID MSC, HA145B. TIME 10 specifies 10.0
minutes CPU computing time. SOL 145 calls for the Aerodynamic Flutter DMAP solution
sequence. The remaining statements determine the formats of the plotted output. The CEND
statement is last in the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-5 followed by the sorted Bulk Data entries in
Listing 8-6. Selected items of the printed output are shown in Listing 8-7. The V-g and V-f
curves are shown in Figure 8-4 and Figure 8-5. The significant results are discussed below.
The first output shown is the weight and balance analysis. Next, the vibration analysis gives the
10 coupled frequencies of the cantilever wing. The first two frequencies are
12.798 rad/s = 2.037 Hz for first bending and 22.322 rad/s = 3.553 Hz for first torsion. These
are in close agreement with the uncoupled bending and torsion frequencies of 12.799 and 22.357
rad/s obtained in Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 177 and 181). The first five
vibration modes are given next. The PK-Flutter Summaries are preceded by the flutter modal
participation factors and followed by the flutter grid point modes near the flutter and divergence
speeds. The Flutter Summaries for the five requested flutter modes are presented, showing a
number of instabilities, including both flutter and divergence. The V-f curves are shown in
Figure 8-4 and the V-g curves are shown in Figure 8-5 for the first two aeroelastic modes. The
lowest flutter speed is a coupled first-bending/ first-torsion mode flutter and is found in
Figure 8-5 (and in Point 2 of the printed Flutter Summary by linear interpolation) to be
1056 ft/s = 720 mph . The divergence speed is found in Figure 8-5 and Point 1 of the Flutter
Summary at 1651 ft/s = 1125 mph . The V-f curve for the bending mode in Figure 8-4 appears

to be discontinuous as the frequency approaches zero near 1430 ft/s, and this behavior is similar
to that observed by Rodden and Bellinger (1982a) using Strip Theory. However, a refined
analysis in the range of velocities from 1420 to 1430 ft/s shows a continuous variation in the
eigenvalue as it transitions from complex to real. There is no appearance of an aerodynamic lag
root. Note in Figure 8-5 that the definition of damping changes between the low speed branch,
with its finite frequency, and the high speed branch, with its zero frequency.

A ZERO FREQUENCY ROOT HAS EMERGED. WHEN THE MACH NO., DENSITY AND VELOCITY ARE COMPATIBLE
IT MAY BE INTERPRETED TWO WAYS DEPENDING ON THE SIGN OF THE REAL PART:
1. (-) A MODE IS CRITICALLY DAMPED, OR,
2. (+) THE SYSTEM IS DIVERGING.
ONLY THE MOST CRITICAL ( I.E., MOST POSITIVE REAL ROOTS ) ARE PRINTED IN THE FLUTTER SUMMARY.
FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES, THE REMAINING REAL ROOTS ARE PRINTED HERE.

CHAPTER 8 373
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.4 Flutter and Divergence Analysis of Jet Transport Wing by
Strip Theory (Example HA145C)
This example is the same BAH wing considered in Example HA145B (p. 357) with only the
aerodynamic theory and the flutter solution method changed. Aerodynamic Strip Theory is
used and the solution is obtained by the K-Flutter method. The spanwise divisions shown in
Figure 8-3 are also used in the Strip Theory, and the analysis again assumes sea-level density.
Strip Theory Aerodynamics. CAERO4 4000 is the Bulk Data entry for the Strip Theory
aerodynamics. It invokes property entry PAERO4 that lists the aerodynamic and geometrical
characteristics of each strip. The basic coordinate system is specified and nonuniform strip
divisions are given on AEFACT 77 for the six strips; the continuation entry tabulates the
planform geometry at the root and tip chords. PAERO4 4001 provides CLA = 0 for no Prandtl-
Glauert compressibility correction, LCLA = 0 for the theoretical two-dimensional lift curve slope
on each strip to be c l = 2π , CIRC = 0 for the exact circulation function of Theodorsen, and
α
LCIRC = 0 since no approximation is used for the circulation function. The remaining required
data provide any control surface geometry, and, since there is no aileron,
DOCi = CAOCi = GAPOCi = 0.0 for all six strips.
SPLlNE2 100 is the linear spline along the 35%-chord elastic axis that connects all 11 structural
grid points to the five strips (IDs 4001 through 4005) outboard of the fuselage side, i.e., the
inboard strip (ID 4000), which is assumed to represent the fuselage, does not move.
The aerodynamics for the flutter analysis are specified on MKAERO1 entries for a Mach number
m = 0.0 and reduced frequencies k from 0.0001 (to obtain the divergence speed) up to 1.5; the
11 values of k require two separate MKAERO1 entries. FLUTTER 30 specifies the K-method of
flutter analysis with a density ratio of 1.0 on FLFACT 1, a Mach number m = 0.0 on FLFACT 2,
and a series of reduced frequencies decreasing from k = 0.20 to k = 0.0001 ; the two small
values of k determine the divergence speed, and the remaining values determine the flutter
speed.
The K-method also requires an EIGC entry to specify the complex eigenvalue method. EIGC 20
requests the Upper Hessenberg method to determine all 10 eigenvalues with the modal
participation factors (eigenvectors of the modal solution) normalized on their maximum
component. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
The Case Control Section includes the title, subtitle, and label. ECHO = BOTH prints both the
annotated and sorted input files. SPC = 1 refers to the SPC1 1 entry, which constrains the
fuselage additionally in plunge, roll, and pitch. SDAMP = 2000 refers to the damping entry
TABDMP1. The vibration control METHOD = 10 refers to ElGR 10. The complex eigenvalue
control CMETHOD = 20 refers to EIGC 20, and the flutter control FMETHOD = 30 refers to
FLUTTER 30, which specifies the K-method. SDISP(PLOT) = ALL and DISP(PLOT) = ALL save
the eigenvector and displacement data for plotting but do not print them. Note that
SDISP = ALL and DISP = ALL will lead to an extensive amount of printed output. The
remaining Case Control entries set up the V-g and V-f curves for plotting. The command BEGIN
BULK ends the Case Control Section.

The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA145C. Time 5 limits
CPU time to 5.0 minutes. SOL 145 calls for the Aerodynamic Flutter DMAP solution sequence,
and CEND concludes the Executive Control Section. The input data echo is shown in Listing 8-
8 followed by the sorted Bulk Data entries in Listing 8-9. Selected output data are shown in
Listing 8-10 and in Figure 8-6. The primary results of the analysis are discussed as follows.
The K-flutter analysis shows the same number of instabilities as the PK-flutter analysis of
Example HA145B (p. 357), but at somewhat different speeds because of the significant
differences between Lifting Surface Theory and Strip Theory. The critical flutter speed in the V-
g curve of Figure 8-6 or in the Flutter Summary for Point 6 ( k = 0.090 ) is 1152 ft/s = 786 mph .
This speed is 9.1% higher than that obtained by Lifting Surface Theory. A comparison of the
Lifting Surface and Strip Theory damping results is shown in Figure 8-7 for the critical second
(torsion) flutter mode. The differences in frequencies are small whereas the differences in
damping are substantial.
The divergence speeds are found from the K-flutter analysis at very low reduced frequencies.
From the Flutter Summary, Point 12 ( k = 0.0010 ) shows the lowest divergence speed to be
1421.4 ft/s (with an artificial structural damping of g = – 0.0250 ), and Point 13 ( k = 0.0001 )
shows the lowest divergence speed to be 1419.8 ft/s (with g = – 0.00303 ). Point 13,
corresponding to a very low value of k , is the more accurate result and agrees almost exactly
with the value of 1419.9 ft/s obtained by regarding divergence as a static instability (eigenvalue)
problem in Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955). The critical speeds of the higher
divergence modes are also estimated from Point 13. The second speed is 2873 ft/s and the third
speed is 4486 ft/s, approximately in the ratio 1:2:3 as theoretically predicted for a uniform wing
by Strip Theory. The divergence speed of 1420 ft/s from Strip Theory is 14.0% lower than the
1651 ft/s obtained from Lifting Surface Theory in Example HA145B.
It is important to note that in this example Strip Theory is conservative for the prediction of
divergence, but unconservative for the prediction of flutter.

CHAPTER 8 385
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.5 Flutter Analysis of Jet Transport Wing/Aileron by Strip
Theory (Example HA145D)
In this example, an aileron is added to the BAH wing of Example HA145C (p. 373). Strip Theory
is used again, but with an approximation to the circulation function, and the PK-method is used.
The aileron is assumed to have a stiff actuator and a high aileron frequency (an uncoupled
frequency of 60 Hz) so that it does not couple substantially with the wing. The aileron inertial
characteristics are given on the CONM1 entry to illustrate inclusion of static unbalance, although
the example aileron is balanced (as it should be). The SPLlNE3 entry illustrates the method of
including a control surface in Strip Theory. The correction factors [ WKK ] shown in Eq. 2-21) are
introduced into the theoretical oscillatory aerodynamic coefficients via DMI entries that provide
the factors; a 50% reduction in control surface hinge moment is illustrated. The PK-Flutter
method is used for comparison to Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979, Figs. 17-19).
The aileron characteristics are provided by the input data BAH_AILERON.DAT, shown
previously in Listing 7-6. The CAERO4 1001 and PAERO4 entries, along with the AEFACT 1
and AEFACT 2 entries, provide the Strip Theory aerodynamics for nine strips on the wing: five
inboard of the aileron, three across the aileron, and one outboard, as shown in Figure 8-8. The
PAERO4 entry specifies no Prandtl-Glauert compressibility correction and three terms in the
approximate circulation function with coefficients on AEFACT 2. The PAERO4 entry also
specifies the control surface geometry on each strip, (there is no control surface on Strips 1
through 5, and 9) and a control surface on Strips 6 through 8 with a 75% hinge line and 25% chord
without a gap. The theoretical oscillatory aerodynamic loads are modified by factors on DMI
entries. Unit factors are input on each strip for lift and pitching moment and a factor of 0.50 is
input to reduce the control surface hinge moments on Strips 6 through 8. Three SPLlNE3 entries
provide the control surface connection for the three strips with the control surface. SPLlNE3 151
specifies the relative angle on the sixth strip (UKID = 1006) on panel CAER04 1001 via the code
COMP = 6 to be equal to the negative rotation (R2) of GRID 12. SPLINE3 152 and 153 specify the
angle on the seventh and eighth strips.
The vibration analysis uses the modified Givens method and requests 11 modes: 10 for the wing
and one for the aileron. The parameter PARAM,LMODES selects all eleven modes for the modal
formulation of the flutter equations. The PK-method is specified on FLUTTER 40 for sea-level
density and Mach zero; the tabulation of velocities on FLFACT 4 lists all values as positive so no
eigenvectors will be obtained for the six roots that are requested. ENDDATA is the last entry in
the input Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section includes the title, subtitle, label, ECHO =
BOTH, SPC = 1 for the additional fuselage constraints, SDAMP = 2000 for the structural
damping, MPC = 1 for the control surface rotation, METHOD = 10 for the vibration analysis,
SVEC = ALL to print the vibration modes of the a-set grid points, and FLUTTER = 40 for the PK-
flutter method. SDISP(PLOT) = ALL, and DISP(PLOT) = 10 save the data for subsequent
plotting but do not print them, and BEGIN BULK completes the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section includes ID MSC, HA145D, TIME 5, and SOL 145. CEND
concludes the Executive Control Section.

Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-11 and the Sorted Bulk Data entries follow in
Listing 8-12. Selected output data are presented in Listing 8-13. Highlights of the output are
discussed as follows.
The statically balanced (and massless) aileron does not affect any of the wing frequencies, and
the coupled wing/aileron frequency is 59.993 Hz. The flutter solutions are almost identical to
the case without the aileron [Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979, Figs. 17-19)] as expected
because of the high aileron frequency, the aileron complete balance, and the reduction in the
aileron aerodynamic hinge moment coefficients. In the Flutter Summaries, Points 1 and 2 are of
primary interest. Point 1 gives the solution for the stable bending mode until it transitions to an
aerodynamic lag root that goes unstable at the divergence speed of V = 1419.9 ft/s . This is the
expected divergence speed. The appearance of the aerodynamic lag root was not recognized by
Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979) but is explained by Rodden and Bellinger (1982a). Point 2
is the coupled torsion mode that goes unstable at the lowest flutter speed of V = 1133 ft/s (by
linear interpolation), as before. The flutter speed is slightly lower than that obtained ( 1152 ft/s )
in the previous Example HA145C of (p. 373) because of the different representations of the
circulation function, not because of differences between the K- and PK-methods of flutter
analysis.

CHAPTER 8 397
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.6 Subsonic Flutter Analysis of the 15-Degree Sweptback
Wing by the KE-Method (Example HA145E)
The subsonic flutter characteristics of several flat-plate flutter models were reported by Tuovila
and McCarty (1955) and investigated further by Yates and Bennett (1963). The untapered wing
with 15 deg of sweepback was analyzed by Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979) with its
structure idealized as a “stick” model and with aerodynamic forces calculated by the Doublet-
Lattice method. Both the calculated flutter speed and frequency were higher than test results in
the earlier three-mode solution. The purpose of this example is to reconsider the analysis of
Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979) with a structural plate model and to demonstrate the KE-
method of flutter analysis.
Representation of the model by CQUAD4 elements is more realistic. Such a structural model
was developed for the static aeroelastic analysis in Example HA144C (p. 223). For the static
analysis, nominal values of moduli of elasticity and density of aluminum were used and a
rigidly clamped support was assumed. However, modifications are appropriate in view of the
3
experimental data. The nominal density of 0.100 lb/in results in a model weight of 0.041041 lb,
3
whereas the measured weight was 0.040 lb. Therefore, an adjusted density of 0.097464 lb/in is
used. The other experimental data are the first three vibration frequencies and node lines. The
structural root model of Example HA144C was modified to investigate the effect of constraints
on the second (torsion) node line. The RBAR was removed and Grid Points 9, 17, and 25 were
given single-point constraints, and variations in root constraints were investigated. A free GRID
17 resulted in an improved correlation with the node lines of Yates and Bennett (1963), therefore
GRIDs 9 and 25 are assumed to be fully constrained and GRID 17 is assumed unconstrained in
the flutter analysis. With the root so constrained and the adjusted density, the nominal values
6 6
of moduli, E = 10.3 × 10 psi and G = 3.9 × 10 psi , resulted in a second vibration frequency
of 221.697 Hz as compared to the experimental value of 210 Hz. The moduli were then scaled
6 6
by the square of the frequency ratio to be E = 9.2418 × 10 psi and G = 3.4993 × 10 psi . It is
not likely that the material moduli were so low; it is more likely that there was additional
flexibility in the model support system. The adjusted moduli result in the first three natural
frequencies of 34.3, 210.0, and 260.4 Hz that may be compared to the experimental values of 36.0,
210.0, and 242.0 Hz. The variation in experimental frequencies is indicated by the measured
frequencies on the similar aluminum model for the Mach 1.3 test that were 36.0, 210.0, and
254.0 Hz.
Bulk Data Entries. The Bulk Data Section builds on that of Example HA144C (p. 223) for the
basic structural and aerodynamic data. The parameter PARAM,GRDPNT,17 has been added to
obtain the weight data that permitted adjusting the density. The KE-method of flutter analysis
is being demonstrated in this example. Since the KE-method permits inclusion of damping only
as a complex frequency dependent factor in the structural stiffness, structural damping is
included by means of the parameter PARAM,KDAMP,-1 and the TABDMP1 table. No damping
data were reported by Tuovila and McCarty (1955) so a value of g = 0.01 is assumed up to a
frequency of 1000.0 Hz.
The aerodynamic data begin with the AERO entry that uses the basic coordinate system for the
aerodynamic coordinate system, a reference chord of 2.0706 in., sea-level reference density,
SYMXZ = 1 for a complete wind tunnel wall reflection, and SYMXY = 0 to neglect wind

tunnel floor or ceiling interference. The CAERO1, PAERO1, SPLlNE1 and SET1 entries provide
the aerodynamic geometry and surface spline data and are the same as in Example HA144C
(p. 223). The MKAERO1 entry provides the data required to interpolate the aerodynamic
matrices in the flutter solution. The Mach number, m = 0.45 , and reduced frequencies,
k = 0.001 , 0.10 , 0.12 , 0.14 , 0.16 and 0.20 , are specified to encompass the experimental value of
k = 0.1314 .
The Modified Givens method is selected for vibration analysis on the EIGR entry to obtain four
modes that have their largest components normalized to unity. The parameter
PARAM,LMODES,4 specifies that all four vibration modes be included in the formulation of the
flutter problem.
The FLUTTER entry specifies the KE-method of flutter analysis. Note that no EIGC entry is
required since the Upper Hessenberg method is built into the KE-method for complex
eigenvalues. The FLUTTER entry also identifies the three FLFACT entries that list the densities,
Mach numbers and reduced frequencies, and specifies linear interpolation for the aerodynamic
generalized force influence coefficients. The data item NVALUE is left blank so the KE-method
computes the default LMODES complex eigenvalues. FLFACT 1 gives the density ratio for the
wind tunnel test, FLFACT 2 gives the test Mach number, and FLFACT 3 gives the series of
reduced frequencies for the flutter analysis. The output flutter velocities in the summary are
converted from the analysis units of in/s to ft/s by means of the parameter PARAM,VREF,12.0.
The Bulk Data Section ends with the ENDDATA entry.
Case Control Commands. The first three entries in the Case Control Section are titles. ECHO
= BOTH requests the input data be printed in unsorted and sorted formats. SPC = 1 selects the
constraints on the wing root deflections and on the plate element in-plane rotations. SDAMP =
2000 invokes the tabular Bulk Data for structural damping. METHOD = 10 selects the
eigenvalue method for the vibration analysis, and FMETHOD = 30 selects the method of flutter
analysis. SVEC = ALL requests printed output of the displacements of the grid point degrees of
freedom in the analysis set (a-set), which in this case are the transverse deflections in the
vibration modes.
The OUTPUT(PLOT) entry identifies the plot packet for the structure plotter. CSCALE 2.0
specifies spacing of characters in the plot title. The set of elements to be plotted are the QUAD4s.
The FIND entry determines a scale and origin for the plots. The PLOT entry requests plots of the
vibration modes with undeformed underlays. The OUTPUT(XYOUT) entry identifies the plot
packet for xy-plots. CURVELINESYMBOL = 6 requests points on the first curve to be identified
by circle symbols. XYPLOT VG/1 (G,F) 2(G,F) 3(G,F) requests two types of xy-plots: plots of
velocity (x-axis) versus damping (y-axis) on the upper half of each frame and velocity versus
frequency (y-axis) on the lower half of each frame. Three curves are requested and represent the
first three modes. YTTITLE and YBTITLE request titles for the top and bottom plots. Similarly,
XTGRID, etc. request that reference lines be drawn on the plots at equal increments. BEGIN
BULK completes the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section begins with the problem identification, ID MSC, HA145E. TIME
5 limits the CPU time to 5.0 minutes, and SOL 145 requests the Structured Aerodynamic Flutter
DMAP sequence. The CEND entry completes the Executive Control Section.

Output. The input data for this example are shown in Listing 8-14 and Listing 8-15 and limited
output data follow in Listing 8-16. The output data are discussed below.
The output consists of the weight and inertial data (which were used to monitor the model
weight and adjust the structural density), the vibration frequencies and the four (LMODES = 4)
vibration modal deflections for the a-set grid points, and the Flutter Summaries. The sorting
algorithm in the KE-method is shown in Eq. 2-126 and Eq. 2-127 and the “Points” in the
Summary Tables are not necessarily in the order of ascending modes. In this example, Point 1 is
the third mode, Point 2 is the second (critical) mode, Point 3 is the fourth mode, and Point 4 is
the first mode. This is the order in which the complex eigenvalues for the first value of reduced
frequency were output from the eigenvalue subroutine.
The flutter data from Point 2 are plotted in Figure 8-9 along with the experimental data. The
present four mode solution gives a flutter speed of V f = 483 ft/sec and flutter frequency of
f f = 113.0 Hz . The test results were V f = 495 ft/sec and f f = 120 Hz . The earlier analysis of
Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979, Fig. 14), using the structural stick model, and three
vibration modes obtained V f = 509 ft/sec and f f = 134 Hz without any adjustment of that
model to agree with the measured vibration frequencies or including any structural damping.

Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.7 Low Supersonic Flutter Analysis of the 15-Degree
Sweptback Wing Using Mach Box Aerodynamics
(Example HA145F)
Wind tunnel flutter tests of untapered aluminum plate wings with 15 degrees of sweep were
reported by Tuovila and McCarty (1955). One supersonic test Mach number was m = 1.3 , and
this case is chosen to illustrate the use of the Mach Box aerodynamic method. A similar
aluminum wing was tested at a subsonic Mach number of m = 0.45 and was the subject of the
previous Example HA145E. The present example uses the same adjusted structural model as in
Example HA145E because both the model weights and second vibration frequencies are
identical and the same structural damping coefficient of g = 0.01 has been assumed. The PK-
method of flutter analysis will be used to predict the flutter speed and frequency at the test
density and Mach number.
The new aerodynamic data begins with the AERO entry that specifies the reference parameters
and symmetry conditions for the flutter analysis; the reference chord is 2.07055 in, sea-level
density is chosen, and symmetry about the wind tunnel wall is assumed. Mach Box
aerodynamics are specified on the CAERO3 and PAERO3 and related entries. The CAERO3
entry specifies certain intermediate sets of planform coordinates for splining on the wing and
two control surfaces in its LISTW, LISTC1 and LISTC2 fields by reference to AEFACT entries,
and its planform geometry on the continuation entry. These intermediate coordinates are
selected at points that are representative of the modal deflections that determine the supersonic
aerodynamic generalized forces. These points are interconnected with specified structural grid
points by a user-selected spline. These points are also automatically interconnected (within the
AMG module) by a surface spline to the Mach box centers that move with the Mach number. In
this example LISTW on the CAERO3 101 entry refers to the AEFACT 11 entry, which lists 20 (x,y)
pairs of coordinates. There are no control surfaces. The 20 (x,y) pairs are selected from the set
of structural grid points for convenience, and since they are somewhat arbitrary, the grid point
coordinates are rounded off to two decimals. The entry PAERO3 1 defines the number of
chordwise Mach boxes between the upstream and downstream extremes of the planform, in this
case 11.
The user-specified spline to interconnect the Mach Box (x,y) pairs to the structural grid points is
the surface spline SPLINE1 100. It connects the region specified by the range BOX1 = 101
through BOX2 = 120 on CAERO3 101 to the set of 20 structural grid points SETG = 100 listed on
SET1 100. BOXi is a misnomer in the Mach Box method since it only refers to the ID of an (x,y)
pair. BOX1 = 101 through BOX2 = 120 includes all of the (x,y) pairs on the AEFACT 11 entry.
The MKAERO1 entry prescribes the aerodynamic database at Mach 1.3 and k = 0.03 , 0.04 , and
0.05 for subsequent interpolation in the PK-flutter analysis to include the experimental flutter
reduced frequency, which was 0.0432.
The vibration analysis is performed via EIGR 10 that requests the Modified Givens Eigenvalue
Extraction method (MGlV) and six modes to be found and normalized on their maximum
components. PARAM,OPPHIPA,1, along with a DISP request in the Case Control Section,
provides the vibration modes at the structural and aerodynamic grid points in the output.

412
The PARAM,LMODES entry specifies that the four lowest frequencies of the six vibration modes
be used in the flutter analysis. The FLUTTER entry specifies the PK-method of analysis at the
test density ratio on FLFACT 1, the test Mach number on FLFACT 2, and for the series of
velocities on FLFACT 3 entries. Since no negative velocity is given on the FLFACT 3 entry, no
flutter modes will be calculated. The FLUTTER entry also specifies three flutter solutions be
output from the four mode formulation. The PARAM,VREF = 12.0 converts the analysis units
of velocity from in/s to ft/s in the Flutter Summary. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk
Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with three title entries. ECHO =
BOTH lists both the annotated and sorted Bulk Data entries. SPC = 1 provides the restraints on
the wing root and on the plate element in-plane rotations. SDAMP = 2000 invokes the tabulated
damping data. METHOD = 10 selects the method of vibration analysis, and FLUTTER = 30
chooses the method of flutter analysis. The DlSP = ALL entry (and PARAM,OPPHIPA,1)
provides the modal displacements at both the structural and aerodynamic grid points.
The OUTPUT(PLOT) entry identifies the plot packet for the structure plotter. The spacing in the
title is specified by CSCALE 2.0. The CQUAD4 structural elements will be plotted. The FIND
entry prescribes the origin and scales of the plots. The PLOT entry requests that the vibration
modes be overlaid on the undeformed structure. The OUTPUT(XYOUT) entry identifies the plot
packet for xy-plots. The first several statements are optional and define the plot frame and plot
titles. The xy-plot request is for the first three flutter modes. Plots of damping on the top frame
and frequency on the bottom frame, both versus velocity, will be plotted. BEGIN BULK
concludes the Case Control Section.
The problem identification ID MSC, HA145F begins the Executive Control Section. TIME 5
restricts the CPU time to 5.0 minutes. SOL 145 calls for the Structured Aerodynamic Flutter
DMAP sequence. CEND completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-17, the sorted Bulk Data entries are in Listing 8-
18, and the representative output data follow in Listing 8-19. The results shown are discussed
below.
The output begins with the vibration results, which are given for the six modes requested. The
results agree with those in the previous Example HA145E where four modes were requested.
The vibration modes are not shown because they are identical with Example HA145E. The next
two items of output are a summary of the planform geometry data for the points and lines shown
in the description of the “PAERO3” on page 804 and a graphic display of the Mach boxes on
and off the planform for the Mach number under consideration. At other Mach numbers the
distribution of Mach boxes will be different, and the display provides a guide to indicate if a
sufficient number of Mach boxes are on the main and control surfaces. The Flutter Summaries
for the three flutter modes requested complete the output shown. The flutter damping and
frequency versus velocity curves for the second mode (Point 2) are plotted in Figure 8-10 along
with the experimental data. The first and third modes are stable while the second mode goes
unstable at V f = 1582 ft/s with a frequency of f f = 128 Hz for the four mode solution. The test
results were V f = 1280 ft/s and f f = 102 Hz .

CHAPTER 8 413
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
The reason for the unconservative prediction here is not known; the Mach Box method has been
shown to be conservative in another application by Pendleton, French, and Noll (1987). There
is, however, an unconservative aspect of linearized aerodynamic theory at supersonic speeds
that must be mentioned. A consequence of neglecting thickness effects at supersonic speeds is
an aft location of the aerodynamic center. These effects of thickness are included in Piston
Theory but that theory is only valid at high Mach numbers. The correction matrix (WKK) in
Eq. 2-21 might be used to adjust the Mach Box pressure solution so that the line of local
aerodynamic centers moves forward by an amount determined by some appropriate
aerodynamic method for thick wings in steady supersonic flow. The correction matrix might
compensate for this unconservative feature of the Mach Box method. However, in this example
the thin plate airfoil has only 2% thickness, and thickness effects alone do not explain the
magnitude of the discrepancy between the predicted and measured flutter speeds observed
here.

8.8 Low Supersonic Flutter Analysis of the 15-Degree
Sweptback Wing Using ZONA51 Aerodynamics
(Examples HA145FA and HA145FB)
The previous Example HA145F illustrated the Mach Box method within its limitations to an
isolated wing. The ZONA51 supersonic lifting surface theory is more general in that it can
analyze multiple interfering surfaces, and it is illustrated here in this variation on HA145F
designated HA145FA. It is necessary to replace the CAERO3 and PAERO3 entries in HA145F
by CAERO1 and PAERO1 entries. For this application the CAERO1 entry is specified with 10
equal chordwise and 10 equal spanwise divisions. The SPLINE1 entry is also modified to
connect aerodynamic boxes 101 through 200 to the same 20 grid points of the structure as in
HA145F. The new input data are shown in Listing 8-20. The Sorted Bulk Data entries for the
modified input are shown next in Listing 8-21 followed by the flutter solution summaries for the
three output flutter modes in Listing 8-22. The second flutter mode (Point 2) is the critical one.
Linear interpolation between tabulated values gives a flutter speed V f = 1576 ft/s and a flutter
frequency of f f = 132 Hz . These may be compared to the test results, V f = 1280 ft/s and
f f = 102 Hz , and also to the Mach Box results of Example HA145F, V f = 1540 ft/s and
f f = 134 Hz .
At the end of the discussion of the Mach Box correlation in the previous section, it was noted that
neglecting thickness effects in supersonic flutter analysis is unconservative, and that the
correction matrix [ W kk ] (see Eq. 2-21) might be utilized to adjust the aerodynamic center
predicted by the Mach Box method. The ZONA51 supersonic lifting surface theory also neglects
thickness effects so a correction factor scheme is suggested here based on Piston Theory. This
variation of HA145FA is called HA145FB.
The oscillatory aerodynamic coefficients from Piston Theory have been developed by Rodden,
Farkas, Malcom, and Kliszewski (1962) to include modifications from the second order of
Van Dyke (1952) in order to extend the validity of Piston Theory to lower supersonic Mach
numbers. The oscillatory coefficients are referred to the semichord, so the aerodynamic center
as a fraction of the semichord measured from the leading edge is given by

C 1 + 2C 2 MI 1 + 3C 3 M ( I 4 + α o )
The coefficients C 1 and C 2 are discussed on the CAERO5 Bulk Data entry, the third-order
coefficient is C 3 = ( γ + 1 ) ⁄ 12 from Piston Theory. The thickness integrals I 1 , I 2 , I 4 , and I 5 are
also discussed on the CAERO5 Bulk Data entry. Eq. 8-4 is conservative (i.e., predicts a farther
forward aerodynamic center) if the third-order effect of trim angle of attack α o is neglected.

Therefore, Eq. 8-4 will be rewritten for the purposes of the correction as

Figure 8-11 Linear Chordwise Correction Factor
Figure 8-11 shows a linear variation in the chordwise correction factor required to shift forward
the theoretical uniform pressure distribution due to the angle of attack of a flat plate airfoil. The
linear correction factor is
W = 1 + w ( 0.5 – ξ ) Eq. 8-6
where ξ is measured aft from the leading edge. If the chordwise load is l ( ξ ) , the corrected lift is

and the correction factor is found from Eq. 8-6.

The procedure is illustrated by modifying the above Example HA145FA. The thickness integrals
can be obtained from Example HA75G (Rodden, 1987).

The example wing has a leading edge sweep angle of Λ = 15° and air has a specific heat ratio
of γ = 1.400 , so the following coefficients, aerodynamic center locations, and loading
corrections are found:

The ZONA51 idealization for the example wing uses 10 equal chordwise and 10 equal spanwise
divisions. The correction factors are then the same on each strip and are tabulated in Table 8-1
from Eq. 8-6.

Listing 8-23 shows the Input Data for HA145FB that includes the DMI input for the correction
factors for the 10 strips. Listing 8-24 gives the sorted Bulk Data entries. The Flutter Summaries
for the three output flutter modes are shown in Listing 8-25; interpolation between tabulated
values for the critical mode gives a flutter speed V f = 1405 ft/s and frequency f f = 129 Hz .
These results are seen to compare somewhat more closely to the test results discussed above
( V f = 1280 ft/s and f f = 102 Hz .

8.9 High Supersonic Flutter Analysis of the 15-Degree
Sweptback Wing Using Piston Theory (Example HA145G)
The flutter tests of Tuovila and McCarty (1955) included an untapered magnesium plate wing
with 15 degrees of sweep at a Mach number of 3.0. Since this planform has already been
considered in the flutter analyses of Examples HA145E and HA145F, the same structural model
(via INCLUDE PLATE_STRUCT.DAT, Listing 7-11) is used here. (See Figure 7-4) However,
because the material is changed from aluminum to magnesium, the density and moduli of
elasticity are different. This model was also used to demonstrate the Piston Theory by Rodden,
Harder, and Bellinger (1979) with a “stick” structural model. Those results will be compared to
the CQUAD4 plate model used here. The PK-method of flutter analysis will be used to compare
the calculated flutter speed with the test value at the same air density (altitude) and Mach
number.
The version of Piston Theory implemented in MSC.Nastran is based on a rigid chord with a rigid
trailing edge flap without aerodynamic balance. The example wing has no control surface. It
also is not rigid in the chordwise direction but can have a camber mode of vibration due to
chordwise bending (cambering) of the plate elements. To obtain a mean chord line, a linear
spline was used to interpolate between representative fore and aft grid points on the chord in
the earlier solution [Example HA75G in Rodden (1987)]. It is possible to use multiple CAERO5
entries to represent a cambering surface with certain limitations, and the present example is a
reconsideration of Example HA75G using four CAERO5 entries.
The nominal properties of magnesium for the MAT1 entry include the moduli of elasticity,
6 6 3
E = 6.0 × 10 and G = 2.4 × 10 psi , and a density of 0.064 lb/in . Using the grid point weight
generator PARAM,GRDPNT,17 and the nominal density, the weight and the inertial properties
with respect to GRID 17 are obtained and include a weight of 0.0262662 lb. The adjusted density
3
to give the experimental weight of 0.0257 lb becomes 0.0626202 lb/in . With the adjusted
density and nominal moduli, a vibration analysis yields a second mode frequency of 211.734 Hz.
The second experimental frequency is 218 Hz, so adjusting the moduli by the square of the
6 6
frequency ratio gives E = 6.3604 × 10 and G = 2.5442 × 10 psi and, consequently, a model
tuned to the experimental data. The calculated first and third frequencies become 35.5 and
273.7 Hz, which compare favorably with the measured values of 37 and 270 Hz. However, the
three frequencies measured on the magnesium model tested at Mach 2.0 were only 35, 205, and
234 Hz; the variations in test frequencies among nominally identical models suggests a
sensitivity of the installation in the wind tunnel support fixture.
Two further details are necessary to include the structural damping, which was not measured
but that is assumed to be g = 0.01 up to a frequency of 1000.0 rad/s. The Case Control
Command SDAMP = 2000 invokes the tabulated damping TABDMP1 entry, and the damping
parameter PARAM,KDAMP,+1 (the default value) selects the equivalent viscous form of the
structural damping appropriate to the PK-method of flutter analysis.
The AERO entry specifies the basic coordinate system as the aerodynamic coordinate system, the
reference chord of 2.0706 in., and the sea-level density; no symmetry considerations are needed
since the Piston Theory is a strip theory that does not have spanwise interactions. Four CAERO5
entries divide the wing into four chordwise regions and six equal width strips. The first
CAERO5 entry describes the forward beveled area of the wing, i.e., the forward one-eighth
Main Index
CHAPTER 8 441
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
chord. The second CAERO5 entry describes the forward constant thickness area of the wing
between the edge of the bevel to the midchord. The third CAERO5 entry describes the aft
constant thickness area of the wing between the midchord and the edge of the aft bevel. Finally,
the fourth CAERO5 entry describes the aft beveled area of the wing. The four CAERO5 entries
prescribe the six equal width strips, Piston Theory with the Van Dyke correction (NTHRY = 2)
and a sweep correction, and the thickness integrals on AEFACT entries; the continuation entries
list the coordinates of the root and tip forward edges and the chords there for each of the
chordwise regions.
The thickness integrals in any analysis of a cambering surface must be input by the user; the
automatic generation of the thickness integrals for a typical airfoil can no longer be used since
the cambering airfoil now consists of several independent segments. The “airfoil” shape of this
model consists of the beveled leading and trailing edge regions with constant thickness in
between, and the thickness integrals are derived in the four chordwise regions from the general
expressions:
1
I1 = ∫0 g ξ dξ
1
I2 = ∫0 ξg ξ dξ
1 2
I3 = ∫0 ξ g ξ dξ
1 2
I4 = ∫0
g ξ dξ
1 2
I5 = ∫0 ξg ξ dξ
1 2 2
I6 = ∫0 ξg ξ dξ
where ξ is the dimensionless distance along the chord and g ξ is the slope of the dimensionless
semi-thickness distribution g ( ξ ) . The dimensional thickness is 2τcg ( ξ ) where τ = t ⁄ c is the
dimensionless thickness ratio. The airfoil thickness is t = 0.041 in. ; its chord is c = 2.0706 in. ,
and it is beveled through the first and last eighths of the chord. The thickness ratio is
τ = 0.041 ⁄ 2.0706 = 0.019801 . The slope in the leading edge region is
g ξ = ( c ⁄ 2 ) ⁄ ( 1 ⁄ 8 ) = 0.079204 ; the slope in the trailing edge region is -0.079204, and the slope
in between is zero. The first set of integrals is evaluated over the forward region and the limit
ξ = 1.0 occurs at the one-eighth chord. The integrals for the forward region are:
Main Index
442
I 1 = 0.079204
I 2 = 0.039602
I 3 = 0.026401
I 4 = 0.006273
I 5 = 0.003137
I 6 = 0.002091
These are entered on the AEFACT 601 entry. Because the slope of the airfoil is zero in the two
intermediate chordwise regions, all of the thickness integrals are zero, and these are entered on
AEFACT 602 and 603. Because the aft slope is -0.079206 in the aft beveled region, the thickness
integrals are the same as in the forward region except that the first three have the opposite sign:
I 1 = – 0.079204
I 2 = – 0.039602
I 3 = – 0.026401
I 4 = 0.006273
I 5 = 0.003137
I 6 = 0.002091
These values are entered on AEFACT 604.
The PAERO5 entry specifies a steady trim angle of attack of 0.0 radians in the NALPHA and
LALPHA fields and on the AEFACT 701 entry. Since the thickness integrals are input, no
thickness data (NXlS, LXlS, NTAUS, and LTAUS) are required. On the continuation entry,
CAOCi = 0.0 for each strip since there is no control surface in any chordwise region.
The aerodynamic matrix database generation is prescribed on the MKAERO1 entry for the test
Mach number of 3.0 and a reduced frequency range from 0.001 to 0.10, which includes the test
value of 0.0399.
The surface spline is the appropriate one for a cambering surface, so four SPLINE1 entries are
used, and each SPLINE1 entry corresponds to the aerodynamic elements in its corresponding
CAERO5 entry. The SET1 entry for the splines lists the 20 grid points used in the Mach Box
Example HA145F (p. 411).
For the vibration analysis, the Modified Givens method, MGlV, on the ElGR entry is chosen. Six
modes are requested that have the largest component normalized to unity. The parameter
PARAM,OPPHIPA,1, along with a DISP request in the Case Control Section, provides the
vibration mode data at both the structural and aerodynamic grid points for printing and
plotting.
The flutter analysis uses the lowest five of the six vibration modes as prescribed by
PARAM,LMODES,5. The FLUTTER entry specifies the PK-method for the test density on
FLFACT 1, the test Mach number on FLFACT 2, and the series of velocities on FLFACT 3. It also
requests that three flutter eigenvalues be output from the five mode formulation. The negative
Main Index

velocity on FLFACT 3 requests that the flutter mode be printed at that velocity. The parameter
PARAM,VREF,12.0 specifies that the Flutter Summary velocities will be divided by 12.0 in order
to convert units to ft/s for comparison with the published test flutter speed. The last entry in the
Bulk Data Section is ENDDATA.
Case Control Commands. The first three commands in the Case Control Section are title
commands. ECHO = BOTH requests the annotated and sorted Bulk Data be printed in the
output. SPC = 1 selects the constraints on the wing root deflections and on the plate element in-
plane rotations. METHOD = 10 selects the eigenvalue method for the vibration analysis. SET 10
= 1 THRU 1000 and DISP = 10, along with PARAM,OPPHlPA,1 in the Bulk Data Section, request
the vibration and flutter eigenvector output.
The OUTPUT(PLOT) entry identifies the plot packet for the structure plotter. The plot requests
are identical to those of Example HA145E (p. 397).
The Executive Control Section begins with the problem identification, ID MSC, HA145G. TIME
5 limits the computing time to 5.0 CPU minutes, and SOL 145 requests the Structured
Aerodynamic Flutter DMAP sequence. The CEND statement completes the Executive Control
Section.
Output. The input data for this example are shown in Listing 8-26, followed by the sorted Bulk
Data entries in Listing 8-27 and then selected output in Listing 8-28. The output data shown are
discussed below.
The output begins with the weight data that were used to match the measured weight. Next are
the vibration frequencies and three of the six vibration modes that were calculated, including the
modes of the six aerodynamic strips (one-quarter chord deflections and rotations) in each of the
four chordwise regions. The flutter solution includes the complex modal participation factors
that were requested via the negative velocity at V = 25200 in/s = 2100 ft/s , the Flutter
Summaries, and one of the complex flutter modes of the structural grid points.
The five mode flutter solution for the first three roots is presented in three Flutter Summaries
and is preceded by the complex modal participation factors at V = 2100 ft/s and followed by
the complex deflections at the structural grid points, also at V = 2100 ft/s . The Flutter
Summary for the second mode (Point 2) presents the critical stability data that are plotted in
Figure 8-12. The calculated flutter speed is 2077 ft/s and the frequency is 148.6 Hz. The
experimental flutter speed was 2030 ft/s and the frequency was 146 Hz. The results from
HA75G were V f = 1857 ft/s and f f = 145 Hz . The earlier solution of Rodden, Harder, and
Bellinger (1979) using a stick model and six modes obtained a flutter speed of 2170 ft/s and
frequency of 168.0 Hz. The new solution accounting for camber has shown significant
improvement over the earlier solutions.

Theory
A difficulty that exists in MSC.Nastran when using multiple CAERO5 entries to represent a
cambering surface is that any sweep correction (NTHRY = 2) should be based on the sweep angle
of the surface leading edge, not on the sweep angle of an aft panel. This becomes a problem for
a tapered wing. This example wing has an untapered planform so the four CAERO5 panels used
here all have the same leading edge sweep angle, and there is no inconsistency.

8.10 Flutter Analysis of a Square Simply Supported Panel
(Examples HA145HA and HA145HB)
Interest in the flutter of flat and curved panels (plates) began in Germany during World War II
as a possible explanation for in-flight failures of V-2 missiles. Current interest is concerned with
the design of surface structures of aircraft cruising at high supersonic speeds. The literature on
the analysis of fluttering panels and design to prevent their flutter has been surveyed by Rodden
(1977). Rectangular flat panels with simple and clamped supports have been studied extensively
using various aerodynamic approximations. The assumption of flow on only one side of the
panel is realized in MSC.Nastran by using only half of the air density of the airstream in the
flutter analysis. The Piston Theory in MSC.Nastran is applicable to panels at Mach numbers
perhaps as low as m = 1.5 , and the ZONA51 supersonic aerodynamics are valid in the low
supersonic regime down to a Mach number close to m = 1.0 . Two examples are considered
here, both of a square panel with simply supported edges at Mach numbers m = 2.0 and 3.0 at
sea level and neglecting structural damping. These are Example HA145HA, using Piston
Theory, and Example HA145HB, using ZONA51. The configuration is shown in Figure 8-13.

GRID entries and the 100 CQUAD4 entries, as well as the SPC1 entries required to restrain rigid
body rotation, to obtain the simple supports around the edges, and to restrain the drilling
degrees of freedom of the QUAD4 elements. PANEL_STRUC.DAT also contains the panel
properties on the PSHELL and MAT1 entries; transverse shear effects are neglected. The
PARAMs GRDPNT, WTMASS, and COUPMASS are also included. PARAM,WTMASS
converts the input weight data to mass data, and PARAM,COUPMASS generates a coupled (not
a consistent) mass matrix for the vibration analysis. The structural data are shown in Listing 8-
29 and are included in the flutter analyses by the request INCLUDE PANEL_STRUCT.DAT.

Figure 8-14 Structural Grid Points and QUAD4 Elements
Example HA145HA uses Piston Theory and models the panel surface by 10 CAERO5 entries
along the chord, each being divided into 10 equal spanwise strips as shown in Figure 8-15. Each
CAERO5 entry specifies the one PAERO5, 1001 entry that provides the two Mach numbers,
m = 2.0 and 3.0 , and zero trim angle of attack data on AEFACT 20. Each CAERO5 entry also
specifies the NSPAN = 10 equal strip widths, the Van Dyke correction to Piston Theory by
NTHRY = 1, the NTHICK = 10 zero thickness integrals on AEFACT 10, and the spanwise strip
geometry with a unit chord. The linear spline SPLINE2 is consistent with the rigid chord
assumption of Piston Theory. Ten SPLINE2 entries connect each of the 10 spanwise strips to
their respective forward and aft GRIDs via 10 SET1 entries and 10 CORD2R elastic axes through
the midchord of each spanwise strip. The flutter analysis entries begin with the AERO entry,
which specifies the aerodynamic coordinate system with its positive x-axis streamwise to be the
basic coordinate system, the reference chord as 10.0 in., and the sea-level density. The
MKAERO1 entry specifies the two Mach numbers m = 2.0 and 3.0 and the four reduced
frequencies, k = 0.001 , 0.1 , 0.2 , and 0.4 , for the generation of the Piston Theory aerodynamic
influence coefficients.
The FLUTTER entry specifies the PK-method and requests four modes output from the flutter
analysis. FLFACT 1 introduces the factor of 0.5 on the density to account for the air only flowing
on one side of the panel. FLFACT 2 specifies the two Mach numbers. FLFACT 3 specifies the
Main Index velocities for the PK-flutter analysis in in/s and PARAM,VREF,12.0 provides the factor to output
460
the flutter speeds in the Flutter Summary table in units of ft/s. The vibration analysis method is
specified by the EIGR entry as the Givens method and requests 15 modes to be normalized on
their largest components. All 15 modes are used in the flutter analysis. Finally,
PARAM,OPPHIPA, along with a DISP request in Case Control, provides the deflections of all
grid points including the aerodynamic points which, for Piston Theory, are located at the
quarter-chord of the centerline of each aerodynamic box. It should be mentioned that the flutter
mode of the square panel is symmetric about its streamwise centerline and that the 15 modes
selected include both symmetric and antisymmetric modes. It is not likely that the 10 × 10
CQUAD4 model of the panel structure will have an accurate 15th mode, but the correlation
shown below indicates that it is a reasonable model.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section includes the title, subtitle, label, ECHO =
BOTH, METHOD = 20 for the vibration analysis, and FMETHOD = 30 for the PK flutter analysis.
SPC = 1 includes all of the Bulk Data constraints. DISP = 10 and SET 10 = 1 thru 999,999 requests
the vibration modes at all grid points including the aerodynamic grid points. BEGIN BULK
concludes the Case Control Section. The Executive Control Section includes ID MSC, HA145HA,
TIME 25 minutes, and SOL 145, and concludes with CEND.
Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-30 and Listing 8-31. Selected output data are
shown in Listing 8-32 and are discussed below.
The output from the GRID POINT WEIGHT GENERATOR checks some of the structural data
input with the weight of 0.410 lbs and centroid at x = y = 5.0 in . The first vibration frequency
is f 1 = 78.57 Hz . This agrees with the theoretical value, with transverse shear effects neglected,
of
2
f 1 = ( π ⁄ a ) ( gD ⁄ ρt ) = 78.28 Hz
where the plate stiffness
3 2
D = Et ⁄ 12 ( 1 – ν ) = 65.93 in-lb
based on Poisson’s ratio ν = E ⁄ 2G – 1 = 0.3205 . The second theoretical frequency is
2
f 2 = ( 5π ⁄ 2a ) ( gD ⁄ ρt ) = 195.70 Hz
and corresponds to a calculated value of 200.43 Hz , and the limitations of the 10 × 10 element
structural model are apparent in the loss in accuracy of the calculated second frequency.
Although 15 modes are used in the flutter analysis, the flutter is caused primarily by the
coupling between the first two symmetric modes and great accuracy is not required in the higher
modes. The first three vibration modes follow the frequency output. Since the second and third
modes have identical frequencies, any linear combination of the second and third modes shown
are also modes. Appropriate combinations of these modes would correspond to the second
symmetric and second antisymmetric modes.

CHAPTER 8 461
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
The flutter data summaries for the first four modes are shown next, and the dampings and
frequencies are plotted in Figure 8-16 for the critical second mode at the two Mach numbers. At
a Mach number m = 2.0 the flutter speed is V = 1919 ft/s , and at m = 3.0 the speed is
V = 2436 ft/s ; the flutter frequencies are 171 and 173 Hz, respectively. The nondimensional
stability parameter customarily used in panel flutter studies is
3
λ cr = 2qa ⁄ βD
2 2
where β = M – 1 . The values of λ for the two Mach numbers are found to be λ cr = 532 at
m = 2.0 and λ cr = 526 at m = 3.0 . These compare reasonably well with the theoretical values
given by Hedgepeth (1957, Table 2) of λ cr = 492 at m = 2.0 and λ cr = 499 at m = 3.0 .

Figure 8-16 Critical Flutter V-g and V-f Curves for Piston Theory
Example HA145HB uses ZONA51 supersonic aerodynamics and models the panel surface by a
single CAERO1 entry divided into 100 equal boxes. It also models the regions to either side of
the panel by square CAERO1 panels that have no motion so that the center panel behaves as a
panel within a larger surface rather than as a wing. The lateral CAERO1 panels prevent the
edges of the central CAERO1 panel from acting like tips on an isolated wing. The aspect ratio of

the lateral panels must be such that the Mach lines from the forward outboard corners do not
intersect the side edges of the central panel as shown in Figure 8-17. The square lateral panels
chosen here would permit an analysis Mach number as low as 2 = 1.414 . The Bulk Data
Section is similar to that described above for Piston Theory. The three CAERO1 entries specify
the panel and its lateral counterparts, each divided into 10 equal spanwise and 10 equal
chordwise boxes. The PAERO1 entry is required. The 10 spanwise linear splines are the same
as those required to obtain accurate interpolation at the aerodynamic grid points for Piston
Theory; note that Remark 1 on the SPLINE1 entry also applies to the SPLINE2 entry and the box
numbering for each SPLINE2 is taken from Figure 8-18. The SET1 and CORD2R entries are
those used in the Piston Theory analysis. The remainder of the Bulk Data entries are the same
as in the Piston Theory analysis.

critical second mode at the two Mach numbers. At m = 2.0 the flutter speed is V = 1873 ft/s ,
and at m = 3.0 the speed is V = 2410 ft/s ; the flutter frequencies are 169 and 173 Hz,
respectively. The values of the stability parameter are λ cr = 507 at m = 2.0 and λ cr = 515 at
m = 3.0 . These compare reasonably well with the Piston Theory results above and more closely
with the values of Hedgepeth (1957, Table 2). ZONA51 appears to be more conservative than

8.11 Estimation of Dynamic Stability Derivatives
(Example HA145I)
The use of oscillatory aerodynamic theory for the estimation of dynamic stability derivatives has
been demonstrated by Rodden and Giesing (1970), and by Rodden, Bellinger, and Giesing
(1984). The procedure demonstrated may be followed in MSC.Nastran to obtain the generalized
aerodynamic forces for rigid body motions via a DMAP ALTER in SOL 145. The present
example uses the model from Example HA144D, after first repeating the derivation of Rodden
(1987) with corrections.
The theory of Rodden and Giesing (1970) is outlined for use with MSC.Nastran first for the case
of symmetrical plunging and pitching. The definitions of the longitudinal stability derivatives
are given in the equations for the lift coefficient

The relationship between the generalized aerodynamic force matrices and the longitudinal
stability derivatives requires the following information: a reference wing area, S , the mean
aerodynamic chord (M.A.C.), c , a reference chord, c r , for the reduced frequency, k = ωc r ⁄ 2V ,
the plunge mode amplitude, h0 , and the pitch mode amplitude, α 0 . These parameters allow
nondimensionalizing the elements of the generalized aerodynamic influence matrices. For one
(m,k) pair, the generalized influence matrix Q hh due to rigid body plunge and pitch appears as
Q 11 Q 12
[ Q hh ] = Eq. 8-19
Q 21 Q 22
The relationship of Q hh to the complex coefficients C z ⁄ h 0 ( 2 ⁄ c ) , C m ⁄ h0 ( 2 ⁄ c ) , C z ⁄ α 0 , and
C m ⁄ α 0 is indicated by the following equations:

derivatives.

Note that the present calculation of dynamic stability derivatives from an oscillatory solution at
·
only one reduced frequency does not permit obtaining the r -derivatives.
The present example uses the model from Example HA144D, which is contained in the input file
HA144D_MODEL.DAT and is shown in Listing 7-15. Since Example HA144D calculated
stability derivatives with respect to NACA coordinates at GRID 90, it is necessary to force the
center of gravity here to GRID 90 by adding the large weight CONM1 90 to GRID 90 chosen
9
arbitrarily as 8.0 × 10 lbs . Furthermore, it is essential to align the rigid body modes with the
NACA axes, and this is accomplished by assigning large principal moments of inertia to
12 2
CONM1 90 in the amount of 1.0 × 10 lb-in . With both the large weight and large moments
of inertia added, the calculated rigid body modes will be motions relative to the NACA axes, and
the generalized aerodynamic forces will lead to the desired stability derivatives.
The Bulk Data Section begins with the request INCLUDE HA144D_MODEL.DAT. The next
entry is CONM1 90. This is followed by the AERO entry, which is only required here to
prescribe the antisymmetric motion. Next, the MKAERO1 entry specifies the Mach Number
m = 0.9 and the two low reduced frequencies k = 0.001 and 0.01 ; two frequencies are selected
to illustrate the frequency dependence of the dynamic derivatives. The vibration analysis for the
rigid body modes is performed by EIGR 10, which specifies the modified Givens method MGIV
and requests only the three rigid body modes normalized on their maximum components. The
PARAM,OPPHIPA,1 along with the DISP request in Case Control provides the modal output so
that the amplitudes of the rigid body modes are displayed.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with three title commands. It then
requests ECHO = BOTH, SPC = 1 for the antisymmetric boundary condition, DISP = 25 for the
SET 25 = 1 through 400 structural grid point displacements to be printed, and the vibration
analysis METHOD = 10.
The Executive Control Section specifies 5 minutes CPU time, and the Flutter Solution Sequence
SOL 145. Then it provides the Alter to print the generalized aerodynamic force matrix QHHL
for the flight conditions listed on the MKAERO entry and to exit the execution.
Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-36 and Listing 8-37. The output data required
for the stability derivative calculations follow in Listing 8-38.
The first output shown is the eigenvalue analysis. The rigid body modes are of interest and their
frequencies are exact rather than computed zeros because of the SUPORT entry in the input. The
modal amplitudes are required in the stability derivative calculation, and they are found from
the eigenvectors. It should be noted that the eigenvectors are in the basic coordinate system, so
the signs of the roll and yaw angles must be reversed to obtain them in the reference (NACA)
coordinate system for use in the stability derivative calculations. The first eigenvector is the
sidesway mode, and its amplitude is y 0 = 1.0 . The second eigenvector is the roll mode, and its
amplitude is φ 0 = – 0.06666667 . Finally, the third eigenvector is the yaw mode, and
ψ 0 = – 0.05590732 . The final output shown is the matrix QHHL for the three rigid modes, as in
Eq. 8-35, printed by columns for the two reduced frequencies: the first three columns correspond
to the lower frequency, k = 0.001 , and the last three columns are for k = 0.01 . The generalized
aerodynamic forces are summarized in Table 8-3.

dependence of the derivatives is seen by comparing the columns for the two frequencies. The
static solution in the last column is taken from Example HA144D and has no estimates for the
dynamic derivatives, which can only be obtained by using the oscillatory aerodynamic theory.

8.12 Servoelastic Stability Analysis of a Missile
(Example HA110A)
This example of servoelastic stability analysis uses Solution 110, Modal Complex Eigenvalues,
rather than Solution 145 since no aerodynamic forces are included. This example of a typical air-
to-air missile has been considered by Anon. (1971), Rodden and Harder (1975), and Rodden,
Harder, and Bellinger (1979) but with an incorrect transfer function for one of the servo elements
(the actuator). Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979) also represented the structural flexibility
by the general structural element GENEL. Rodden (1987) in Example HA75J corrected the
actuator transfer function and used a beam idealization of the structure, while retaining all the
other features of Rodden, Harder, and Bellinger (1979). The fuselage/flipper configuration was
idealized as a uniform beam with an all-movable aft section. This was an oversimplification of
a typical missile since the aft fuselage is never hinged and a very light flipper is usually hinged
near its midchord. The missile was assumed to weigh M + 1000 lb , to be L = 150 in long, and
to have a fundamental frequency of f 1 = 45.0 Hz .
The present example introduces further significant modifications and provides a suitably
representative idealization of an air-to-air missile, and should be regarded as a replacement for
the earlier analysis. The missile is modeled as a right-half-model while the flipper is modeled as
a light weight (5 lb) plate represented by four CQUAD4 elements, each 0.500 in thick, and with
densities adjusted to give a total weight of 5 lbs and a center of gravity 1.0 in forward of the hinge
line, which is placed midway between GRIDs 9 and 10. The one-sided structural model and the
servo system are discussed below. The structural model is discussed first.
The structural grid points are numbered 1 through 10 as shown in Figure 8-20. A rate gyro,
located halfway between GRIDs 4 and 5, is assigned the number 45 with the origin of coordinates
placed there. GRID 11 is the flipper hinge line station. GRIDs 1 through 11 and GRID 45 are
constrained to be free only in plunge and pitch, i.e., only the symmetrical case is being
considered. CBAR, PBAR, and MAT1 entries represent the aluminum beam structure (assumed
weightless), and the weight of the structure is modeled to be concentrated at the grid points via
CONM2 entries. The bending stiffnesses, I y and I z , are found from the vibration analysis result
of Timoshenko, Young, and Weaver (1974, p. 424),
1⁄2 2
ω 1 ( M ⁄ LEI ) = ( 4.730 ⁄ L )
and the desired fundamental frequency, f 1 = ω 1 ⁄ 2π = 45.0 Hz ; the one-side stiffnesses
become
4
I y = I z = 135.54 in .
A very large cross-sectional area and polar moment of inertia are selected arbitrarily. The first
eight CONM2 entries give the weight of each as 50.0 lb at GRIDs 1 through 8. The weight of the
vertical flippers in the cruciform configuration have been included by adding the weight of one
flipper divided between GRIDS 9 and 10 according to its center of gravity location, and the
weight at GRID 9 becomes 52.833 lbs and at GRID 10 becomes 52.167 lbs.
Main Index
510
The flipper is modeled by four equal size CQUAD4 elements with corner GRIDs 21 through 29
as shown in Figure 8-20. The flipper is connected to the fuselage at GRID 24, and an RBAR is
extended from GRID 11 on the fuselage centerline to GRID 12 at the side of the fuselage
coincident with GRID 24. Multipoint constraints connect GRIDs 12 and 24 together except for
the pitch degree of freedom. The flipper rotation δ is defined by Scalar Point SPOINT 49 and is
the difference between the pitch rotations (R2) of GRIDs 24 and 12; the sign convention for the
flipper angle δ is positive with the trailing edge down. The flipper and its hinge are idealized
to be very stiff, and this condition is realized by providing lateral constraints (T2) on GRIDs 21
and 27 and by choosing a large modulus of elasticity (1.0E+10) on the MAT1 10 and MAT1 20
Bulk Data entries; the densities of 0.0188889 and 0.0144444 on MAT1 10 and MAT1 20 lead to the
desired weight and center of gravity for the flipper. PARAM,GRDPNT,45 generates the inertial
data for the fuselage/flipper combination relative to GRID 45. PARAM,WTMASS converts the
weights to mass units.
Structural damping is included as an equivalent frequency-dependent viscous damping
through the table TABDMP1. Assuming that g 1 = 0.03 in the first mode, g2 = 0.05 in the
second mode, and g 3 = 0.08 in the third mode. The vibration analysis below gives the first
three undamped frequencies as f 1 = 45.2 , f 2 = 126.7 and f 3 = 251.0 Hz . The damping-
frequency pairs provide the data necessary for the tabular damping format.
The structural model including the grid, stiffness, inertial, and damping data is contained in
input file MISSILE_STRUCT.DAT shown in Listing 8-39.
Next, the servo system is considered. The block diagram shown in Figure 8-21 is an
oversimplification of an air-to-air missile control system, but is adequate for illustrative
purposes. The signals in Figure 8-21 denoted by e i generally represent voltages or quantities
equivalent to voltages output by the various servo elements. The transfer functions are as
follows. For the command error:

considered as part of the flipper structure). The signals e 1 , e 2 , e 3 , and e 4 , respectively, are
given the extra point numbers 51, 52, 53, and 54. The slope of the beam, h′ = ∂h ⁄ ∂x at the rate

The numerical values assumed for the servo time constants are K a = 50.0 deg per deg/s,
T a = 0.002 s , K p = 1.0 deg/deg , ω g = 60.0 Hz = 376.991 rad/s , ζ g = 0.70 , and
K g = 0.13 deg per deg/s.
The solution to the modal servoelastic eigenvalue problem by the QR-Transform method
MSC.Nastran (HESS) requires a nonsingular mass matrix. This requirement is met by
differentiating the servo equations a sufficient number of times so that all servo elements
effectively become second-order systems and the mass matrix will no longer be singular; the
servo equations here require six differentiations, which will add six zero roots to the eigenvalue
analysis, and result in a 20th order eigenvalue problem with 20 real or complex conjugate roots.
The modified servo equations become

One additional transfer function is necessary to make the servo representation and the structural
representation of the flipper angles the same, i.e., SPOINT 49 and EPOINT 50 should be
identical. This can be done by introducing a stiff spring between the two that would
approximate the actuator stiffness, i.e., the oil column stiffness, the cylinder breathing (radial)
stiffness, and the piston rod stiffness. If the structural and servo representations of the flipper
angles are denoted by δ 49 and δ 50 , respectively, then the transfer function can be written as
Main Index
CHAPTER 8 513
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
K f ( δ 49 – δ 50 ) = 0 Eq. 8-70
where K f is selected large enough that the new frequency added to the system is above the range
of interest and no damping is considered. The value K f = 1.0E+8 adds the frequency
f f = 1631.7 Hz , which is sufficiently higher than the third fuselage bending frequency of
f 3 = 251.0 Hz . The above equation is written as equaling zero but this is not actually the case.
In MSC.Nastran the TF terms are added to the existing system of equations and, in this case, the
TF terms are added to the flipper hinge-moment equation and give rise to the new frequency
because of the stiffness K f and the moment of inertia of the flipper.
The above six equations are placed on the TF entries, which are contained in input file
MISSILE_SERVO.DAT along with the definitions of the SPOINT and EPOINTs and are shown
in Listing 8-40.
The use of the additional transfer function above to make SPOINT 49 and EPOINT 50
approximately equal is a realistic approach to the problem since an actuator has only a finite
stiffness. However, if it is desired to make SPOINT 49 and EPOINT 50 exactly equal, i.e., to
assume a rigid actuator. This can be done by the Lagrange Multiplier technique discussed by
Blakely (Version 68, Appendix K). This requires the addition of another scalar point, SPOINT
48, which can be interpreted as the actuator hinge moment.
The structural and servo models are called into the Bulk Data Section by means of the INCLUDE
entry. The vibration analysis for the three rigid body modes of fuselage plunge and pitch and
the open loop flipper rotation along with the three flexible modes is carried out by the modified
Householder eigenvalue method as specified on the EIGR entry. All six modes are included in
the modal formulation via PARAM,LMODES, and the complex eigenvalues are requested on the
EIGC entry by the QR-Transform method (HESS) with the eigenvectors to be normalized on
their maximum components. ENDDATA completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Section. The Case Control Section begins with the three title entries. ECHO =
BOTH requests both annotated and sorted Bulk Data be printed. MPC = 50 specifies the
constraints on the flipper (QUAD4) GRIDs and the flipper rotation in terms of the pitch rotations
of GRIDs 24 and 12. SDAMP = 1 specifies the modal damping. TFL = 1 specifies the set number
for the transfer functions, the TF entries. METHOD = 14 calls for the modified Householder real
eigenvalue (vibration) method on EIGR; SVEC = ALL requests the vibration modes. CMETHOD
= 40 calls for the complex Hessenberg (QR-Transform) eigenvalue method on the ElGC entry.
SDISP = ALL requests the modal participation factors and the extra point displacements for each
eigenvalue. DISP = ALL requests the grid point displacements for each complex eigenvalue.
The BEGIN BULK command completes the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA110A. TIME 5 limits
the computing time to 5.0 CPU minutes. SOL 110 specifies the modal complex eigenvalue
solution sequence. The CEND statement completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data file for this example is shown in Listing 8-41, followed by the sorted
Bulk Data entries in Listing 8-42, and representative output results in Listing 8-43. The results
are discussed below.

The weight analysis is the first output. The half-missile weighs 510.0 lbs and has a center of
gravity 16.157 inches aft of the rate gyro location at Station 61.157. The vibration frequencies for
the open loop are three computed zeroes and three fuselage frequencies slightly coupled with
the overbalanced flipper, f 1 = 45.17 Hz , f 2 = 126.74 Hz and f 3 = 251.04 Hz .
The rigid body modes and the coupled bending modes are shown next, and the flipper coupling
is evident. The 22 roots from the closed-loop servoelastic solution consist of four zero roots from
the two rigid body modes, four complex conjugate pairs from the three coupled vibration modes
( f 1 = 45.13 Hz , g1 = 0.0254 ; f 2 = 126.12 Hz , g 2 = 0.0507 ; f 3 = 249.34 Hz , g 3 = 0.0786 ). The
frequency is introduced (with no damping) by the flipper servo/structure connection transfer
function ( f f = 1631.7 ), two real roots from the actuator/potentiometer loop ( p = – 440.29
corresponding to T a = 0.002 and p = – 56.324 corresponding to K a = 50.0 ), a complex
conjugate pair from the rate-gyro ( f g = 42.85 Hz and g g = 1.981 . Note that these are coupled
values that correspond closely to the uncoupled input values of ω g = 60.0 and ζ g = 0.70 ), and
the six zero roots artificially added to permit the use of HESS by making the mass matrix
nonsingular.
Closing the servo loop is seen to cause only slight changes in the open loop root characteristics.
The modal displacement output also shows the same lack of coupling. The modal displacements
include the amplitudes of the vibration modes and the extra points. The grid point displacement
output (note that it is not normalized) shows the servoelastic mode shapes and includes the
scalar point SPOINT 49. Note that the amplitudes for EPOINT 50 and SPOINT 49 are equal as
expected for the lower modes where there are only small modal convergence errors.

CHAPTER 8 533
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.13 Aeroservoelastic Stability Analysis of a Missile
(Example HA145J)
In this example, the aerodynamic forces are simply added to the previous Example HA110A
(p. 509). The additional Bulk Data entries beyond those required to solve the servoelastic
stability problem provide the aerodynamic, spline, and flutter data. The input files
MISSILE_STRUCT.DAT and MISSILE_SERVO.DAT (see Listing 8-6 and Listing 8-7) are
INCLUDEd as before. The AERO entry gives the reference chord of 30.0 in., the reference
2 4
density at sea level of 1.1468E-07 lb-sec ⁄ in , and specifies symmetry. CAERO1 101 divides the
flipper semispan (see Figure 8-20) into 10 equal width strips and 15 equal chordwise segments
on each strip to satisfy the guidelines of “The Interpolation from Structural to Aerodynamic
Models” on page 112 that the box chord ∆x ≤ 0.08V ⁄ f where V is the minimum velocity of
interest (500 ft/s) and f is the maximum frequency of interest (251 Hz) and that the box aspect
ratios be less than 3. The CAERO1 continuation lists the coordinates of the leading edge at the
root and tip and the root and tip chord lengths. PAERO1 1 defines the fuselage as the associated
body that is described on CAERO2 and PAERO2 entries. CAERO2 1500 specifies the body
characteristics on PAERO2 1520, the fractional divisions of the body on AEFACT 1505, the
fractional divisions of the interference body on AEFACT 1506, and the body nose coordinates
and length on the continuation entry. PAERO2 1520 provides data on the motion (in the z-
direction for vertical motion), the reference half-width of the body (a representative value is
recommended in the region of the lifting surface root), the aspect ratio (height/width) of the
cross section approximated as an ellipse (AR = 1.0 in this example with a circular cross section),
and AEFACT 1515 for the body half-widths at the end points given on AEFACT 1505. The
PAERO2 field LRIB is left blank following the recommendation in “Aerodynamic Modeling” on
page 95. The PAERO2 entry also specifies the θ 1 - and θ 2 -arrays for averaging the downwash
on the interference body that is induced by the lifting surface bound vortices and doublets in the
approximation to satisfy the no-flow condition through the body surface (only a θ 1 -array is
specified here on AEFACT 1518 at θ = 45° , 135° , 225° , and 315° , which are angles spaced
midway between adjacent flippers in the cruciform configuration. The PAERO2 continuation
specifies that all the interference elements use the θ 1 -array.
Linear spline entries are used to connect the aerodynamics and the structure along the hinge line
at the midchord of the flipper and along the fuselage centerline. SPLINE2 1 connects the 150
aerodynamic boxes (numbers 101 through 250) to GRIDs 21 through 23 along the leading edge
and GRIDs 27 through 29 along the trailing edge on the SET1 1 entry. The axis of the spline along
the hinge line is the y-axis of CORD2R 1. The spline attachment flexibility is not used so DZ =
0.0, and no rotational connection to the flipper grid points is considered so DTHX = DTHY = -
1.0; since DZ = 0.0, DTOR is arbitrarily set to 1.0. SPLlNE2 2 connects the six body aerodynamic
elements (numbers 1500 through 1505) to GRIDs 1 through 10 on SET1 2. The attachment
flexibilities are DZ = 0.0 and DTHY = 0.0 for both displacement and rotational spline
connections, DTOR = 1.0 (always for bodies). DTHX is not used for bodies.
For the vibration analysis, the modified Householder method (MHOU) is requested on the EIGR
entry as before, and six vibration modes are again used in the modal formulation,
PARAM,LMODES,6. PARAM,OPPHlPA,1, along with a DISP command in the Case Control
Section, specifies the eigenvectors at both the structural and aerodynamic grid points.

The values of Mach number and reduced frequency that provide the basis for interpolation are
specified on MKAEROi entries. In this case, the MKAERO1 entry is selected for one Mach
number, m = 0.8 , and six reduced frequencies, k = 0.001 , 0.1 , 0.2 , 0.5 , 1.0 , and 4.0 , are
specified to cover the range required by the velocities and frequencies of interest.
The flutter data entries include FLFACT 1, which gives the density ratio of 1.0; FLFACT 2, which
gives the Mach number 0.8; and FLFACT 3, which lists six velocities for the aeroservoelastic
stability analysis ranging from 6000 to 12000 in/s. The first velocity is input as negative to obtain
eigenvectors in addition to eigenvalues in the PK-method of solution. FLUTTER 40 specifies the
PK-method of flutter analysis, refers to the FLFACT entries, and requests output for 16 modes.
Sixteen roots are requested because the differentiation of the servo equations added six zero
roots to the system of two rigid and three flexible body roots, two actuator/potentiometer roots,
the gyro root, and the artificial actuator/flipper transfer function root. All real root data are
output first. The last flutter data entry is PARAM,VREF to convert the output velocity units
from in/s to ft/s by dividing by 12.0. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Section. The Case Control Section is changed for the flutter analysis from what
was required in the servoelastic analysis. New title commands are used. The FMETHOD
command replaces the CMETHOD command when the PK-method is specified for flutter
analysis. Specifying SET1 = 1 through 2000, which includes all aerodynamic degrees of
freedom, along with DISP requests modal displacements. The last command in the Case Control
Section is BEGIN BULK.
The Executive Control Section starts with the identification ID MSC, HA145J. It then specifies
TIME 5 for 30.0 minutes of CPU time and SOL 145 for the Superelement Aerodynamic Flutter
DMAP sequence. The CEND statement completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data echo is shown below in Listing 8-44 followed by the sorted Bulk Data
entries in Listing 8-45. Selected items in the printed output are shown in Listing 8-46. The
significant results are discussed here. The first output shown is the result of the vibration
analysis: the first six frequencies, the generalized masses, and stiffnesses. These are the same as
shown in Listing 8-43 in the previous section (except for round-off differences between SOLs 110
and 145). The next output shown is a representative real eigenvector, the fourth mode that is the
first fuselage bending mode, and includes the SPOINT, EPOINT, and all aerodynamic grid point
displacements. Following the typical real eigenvector is a series of eigenvalues and modal
eigenvectors (participation factors) for the servo and vibration modes that were requested by the
negative velocity V = – 6000 in/s = – 500 ft/s . Shown are the two actuator modes, the short
period mode, the gyro mode, and three vibration modes. Also shown, for all of the velocities,
are the zero frequency roots that are not listed in the Flutter Summary tables. The aerodynamic
forces in this example have very little effect on the servoelastic system. The roots (shown next
in the Flutter Summary tables) are changed only slightly from the previous Example HA110A
(p. 509), except for the rigid body pitch mode, which has become the short period mode and
appears as Point 6 in the Flutter Summary tables.
The PK-method of flutter analysis provides a solution for the short period mode whereas the K-
method does not. With the flipper locked (by using scalar spring CELAS2 1 shown in the Bulk
Data of Listing 8-44; results are not listed) the short period of the missile is lightly damped and
has a constant reduced frequency k = 0.0186 for the range of airspeed from V = 500 to

CHAPTER 8 535
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
1000 ft/s . Its frequency increases from f = 1.183 to 2.362 Hz , and its damping is constant at
g = 2ζ = 0.2708 . The purpose of the servo system is to increase the short period damping
substantially. A reasonably well damped short period throughout the speed range of interest is
obtained by adjusting the gyro gain to K g = 0.13 deg per deg/s, and this is the design
consideration that determines K g . In the Flutter Summary for Point 6, the damping and
frequency at V = 500 ft/s are g = 1.945 and f = 0.961 Hz and at V = 1000 ft/s the damping
has decreased to g = 1.316 and the frequency has increased to f = 5.821 Hz .
The short period characteristics in Point 6 of the Flutter Summary are the data of primary interest
in this analysis. However, the other Points also deserve some comment. Point 7 is the gyro
mode, which is unaffected by the airstream. Points 8 through 10 are the three fuselage modes
and their frequencies are unaffected and their dampings are only slightly affected by the
airstream. Point 11 is the artificial actuator/flipper transfer function mode, and the output
indicating instability is meaningless. The first four Points correspond to some of the six zero
frequency roots introduced by the differentiations required to avoid a singular mass matrix.
Finally, Point 5 is the rigid body plunge mode that should also have a zero frequency, even in
the presence of the airstream; the nonzero frequencies shown are round-off errors that result
from the MSC.Nastran formulation using plunge and pitch ( h, α ) degrees of freedom rather than
pitch and pitch rate ( α, q ) degrees of freedom in the equations of motion. The positive dampings
shown should not be interpreted as instabilities.
The data following the Flutter Summary tables are the complex eigenvectors of grid point
deflections that were also generated by the negative velocity in the Bulk Data Section and the
DISPlacement command in the Case Control Section. These correspond to the same servo and
vibration modes for which the modal participation factors (discussed above) are shown.

Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
8.14 Aerothermoelastic Stability of a Wing (Examples HA153A
and HA145KR)
The field of aerothermoelasticity considers the effects of thermally induced stresses on structural
stiffness and their aeroelastic interaction. There are two mechanisms by which structural
stiffness is reduced at high temperature: the first is the reduction of structural moduli of
elasticity, and the second is the reduction in stiffness from thermally induced compressive
stresses (beam-column effects). The former effect is neglected in this example. The latter effect
is considered here by determining the stiffness matrix as a function of temperature using the
MSC.Nastran SOLution 153, Static Structural and/or Steady State Heat Transfer Analysis with
Options: Linear or Nonlinear Analysis. With the temperature-dependent stiffness matrix,
restarts can be made in the various Aeroelastic Solution Sequences. SOL 145, Aerodynamic
Flutter, is selected here, and the variation of flutter speed with temperature is determined.
Restarts in SOL 144, Static Aeroelastic Response, and SOL 146, Dynamic Aeroelastic Response,
solutions are also discussed.
Interest in supersonic transport aircraft led to an extensive literature related to
aerothermoelasticity in the late 1950s, some examples of which include Budiansky and Mayers
(1956), Bisplinghoff (1956), Turner, Dill, Martin, and Melosh (1960), and a Proceedings of
Symposium on Aerothermoelasticity (Anon., 1961). A recent assessment of analysis and testing
applicable to the National Aero-Space Plane is presented by Friedman et al. (1988) and contains
additional references.
The example is a small wing that might be typical of a cantilevered wind tunnel model (see
Figure 8-22). It has an unswept, rectangular planform with an internal structure that consists of
three spars connected only by ribs at the root and at the tip. In order to emphasize thermoelastic
effects, the closing ribs are assumed to be rigid, the main (center) spar is not heated, and the
forward and aft spars are assumed to be heated uniformly to the same temperature. The spars
are assumed to be weightless but support a number of concentrated weights. The following
geometry and other model properties are assumed for the input to SOL 153.
The rectangular lifting surface extends forward and aft of the structural model. A wing span of
100.0 in. and a wing chord of 40.0 in. are assumed. The wing spars are spaced 10.0 in apart and
are located within the planform such that the wing leading edge is 5.0 in. forward of the front
spar and the trailing edge is 15.0 in. behind the rear spar. The spars are thus located at 12.5%,
37.5%, and 62.5% of the wing chord. There are no intermediate ribs connecting the spars
between the root and the tip. The three spars are assumed to be uniform across the span and to
have the same section properties, each being relatively stiff in the chordwise direction but weak
6
in torsion. The spar material is assumed to be aluminum with moduli E = 10.3 × 10 and
6 –5
G = 3.9 × 10 psi , and coefficient of thermal expansion α = 1.244 × 10 in/in/°F . The spar
2 4 4
section properties are assumed to be: area A = 2.0 in , I y = 1.0 in , I z = 100.0 in , I yz = 0.0 ,
4
and J = 0.1 in .

The MSC.Nastran structural model consists of GRIDs, BEAMs (note that SOL 153 does not
support the MSC.Nastran BAR element), RBARs, and CONM2s. The structural layout and the
aerodynamic boxes are shown in Figure 8-22. Each spar is modeled by five equal length BEAM
elements. The leading edge spar has GRIDs 100 through 105 and CBEAMs 101 through 105, the
main spar has GRIDs 200 through 205 and CBEAMs 201 through 205, and the aft spar has GRIDs
300 through 305 and CBEAMs 301 through 305. Each spar element has the same properties listed
on PBEAM 100 with material properties on MAT1 1. Although no variation of material
properties with temperature is considered here, provision is made for variations with
temperature by including the MATT1 entry with its associated TABLEMi entries using the same
properties at both ends of the tabulated temperature range. Root GRIDs 100 and 200 are rigidly
connected by rigid bar RBAR 100, and GRIDs 200 and 300 are connected by RBAR 200. Tip
GRIDs 105 and 205 are connected by RBAR 105, and GRIDs 205 and 305 are connected by RBAR
205.

CHAPTER 8 557
Flutter Analysis Sample Problems
Constraints are an important consideration in this restart analysis since statically determinate
constraints are desirable in SOL 153, but the different MSC.Nastran aeroelastic SOLs may
require different constraints. The flutter analysis of this example assumes a cantilever condition,
but a static aeroelastic analysis requires a SUPORT entry, so the specification of the cantilever
condition must be completed in the restart flutter analysis. For these reasons, the initial
constraints imposed on the structure are only as many as the aeroelastic analyses permit. For
symmetric aeroelastic analyses these are DOFs T1, T2, R1, and R3 and are imposed in the
permanent constraint field on GRID 200 (1246). The additional cantilever constraints (DOFs T3,
and R2, i.e., 35) for the flutter analysis will be included in the Bulk Data for the restart in SOL 145
using the database from SOL 153. For the symmetric static aeroelastic analysis, GRID 200 would
be SUPORTed in DOFs T3 and R2 in the restart in SOL 144 from the SOL 153 database. The
PARAM,WTMASS is included in the Bulk Data for SOL 153 for convenience since it is needed in
all of the aeroelastic solutions to convert input weight to mass units. The PARAM,LGDISP,1 is
required in SOL 153 to account for large displacement effects in updating element coordinates
and follower forces.
The temperature data are input on TEMP and TEMPD entries. The TEMPD entry is used to
specify all temperatures not specified on the TEMP entry and is also used here to specify the
initial temperature. Four sets of TEMP entries are used to specify the increase in temperature on
the forward and aft spars. TEMP 2 specifies a slight temperature increase of 0.001°F to simulate
the cold condition. TEMPs 3, 4, and 5 specify temperatures of 50, 150, and 200°F. The nonlinear
parameter entry NLPARM specifies data for the nonlinear iteration strategy: NINC is the
number of increments to reach the final temperature; KMETHOD is the method for controlling
the stiffness updates; KSTEP is the number of iterations between stiffness updates; CONV selects
the convergence criteria; and INTOUT provides intermediate output. For this example, the
number of increments NINC is chosen depending on the temperature change: one increment to
reach 0.001°F, 4 to go from 0.001 to 50°F, 10 to go from 50 to 150°F, and 10 to go from 150 to 200°F.
The other parameters are selected as KMETHOD = AUTO (the default), KSTEP = 1, CONV = PW
(the default), and INTOUT = YES.
At the end of the Bulk Data is the CORD2R 2 entry. This is the coordinate system for the spline
that connects the aerodynamic and structural grids in the aeroelastic solutions. Normally this
coordinate system would be contained in the Bulk Data for the aeroelastic solutions but is placed
here to avoid the requirement for a DMAP Alter in the aeroelastic solutions that would skip the
coordinate system check in the restart.
SOL 153 Case Control Command. The Case Control Section for SOL 153 specifies the title and
subtitle, requests printout of both annotated and sorted Bulk Data entries, and prescribes the
initial temperature, before specifying the four subcases to increase the temperatures on the front
and rear spars by 200°F.
The Executive Control Section for SOL 153 specifies the problem ID MSC, HA153A, five minutes
of CPU time, and SOL 153 for the Nonlinear Statics and Heat Transfer solution.
SOL 153 Output. The input data are shown in Listing 8-47, the sorted Bulk Data entries are in
Listing 8-48, and selected output data follow in Listing 8-49. The results of interest for the
restart are discussed as follows.
Main Index
558
Because the structure in SOL 153 is not supported in a statically determinate manner, the
stiffness matrix is not well conditioned. This is indicated at the beginning of the output by a
warning message regarding excessive matrix factor diagonal ratios. This is not a problem in this
example because the restarts in the Aeroelastic SOLs will provide sufficient additional supports.
The remaining output shows the results from the nonlinear iteration module. Due to the purely
axial loading that results from the temperature increase in this example, the structure behaves
as geometrically linear in every load step. Therefore, the solution converges in one iteration step
for every temperature increment. Of concern for the restart is, first, the fact of convergence and,
then, the LOOPID number for the stiffness matrix that is saved for the restart. Twenty-five loops
were executed and 25 stiffness matrices are saved on the database corresponding to various
temperatures from 0.001 to 200°F. The flutter analysis is to be demonstrated at 100°F, and this
temperature corresponds to Load Factor 0.500 in Subcase 3 with a LOOPID of 10. To obtain the
stiffness matrix corresponding to the temperature of 100°F in the restart it is necessary to add the
PARAM,NMLOOP and give it the value of the LOOPID for the temperature of interest, in this
case, 10.
SOL 145 Bulk Data Entry. The Bulk Data entries for the restart of Example HA145KR (R for
Restart) in SOL 145, Aerodynamic Flutter Analysis, are considered next, and are shown in
Listing 8-50. PARAM,GRDPNT,100 requests the weight and balance analysis relative to the root
of the front spar at GRID 100. SPC1 imposes the additional constraints to achieve the cantilever
boundary condition at the root of the main spar, GRID 200: the DOFs T3 and R2 are also
constrained. The aerodynamic data begin with the AERO entry that specifies the reference
chord as 20.0 in., sea-level density, and symmetric motion. The CAERO1 1001 entry specifies the
unswept rectangular aerodynamic model for the subsonic Doublet-Lattice method with eight
equal spanwise divisions and four equal chordwise divisions [see Figure 8-22(b)]; the
continuation locates the root and tip leading edges at 5.0 in. forward of the forward spar, the 40.0
in. root and tip chords, and the 100.0 in. span. The PAERO1 1000 entry is required even though
there is no fuselage. Linear SPLINE2 1001 connects aerodynamic boxes 1001 through 1032 to the
normal structural translations (T3) only along the leading and trailing edge spars via the SET1
1100 GRIDs; a rigid chord is thereby effectively imposed even though there is no chordwise
stiffening (ribs) except at the root and tip. The spline axis is aligned with the main spar using
the coordinate system CORD2R 1. The MKAERO1 entry assumes incompressible flow,
m = 0.0 , and a range of reduced frequencies, k from 0.001 to 1.0.
The flutter analysis is the final consideration. The vibration analysis for the modal flutter
analysis is prescribed on the EIGR entry as the MGIV method, requesting four modes and
normalizing the eigenvectors on their maximum components. The FLUTTER entry prescribes
the PK-method, FLFACT entries for density, Mach number, and velocities, the output for four
flutter modes, and a relaxed convergence criterion, ε = 0.01 , for the PK-iteration.
PARAM,LMODES,4 specifies all four vibration modes to be used in the flutter analysis, and
PARAM,VREF,12.0 outputs velocity in ft/s in the Flutter Summary Tables.
The Case Contol Section for the restart must include some information from the initial run. After
the title, subtitle, and echo commands, the initial temperature must be given again. The
PARAM,NMLOOP was mentioned above. It may be included either in the Bulk Data or in the
Case Control. It is shown here in Case Control, and its value of 10 corresponds to the stiffness
Main Index
for 100°F. The additional constraints are called via the SPC command. The METHOD command
CHAPTER 8 559

invokes the EIGR entry, and the SVEC command requests vibration mode shapes. The
FLUTTER command requests the PK-flutter analysis. The remaining data specify the plotting
formats for the V-g and V-f curves. Finally, the BEGIN BULK command concludes the section.
The Executive Control Section begins with the RESTART statement that specifies the database
version to be used. Next are the problem identification, estimated CPU time, and SOL 145 for
the flutter analysis. CEND is the last statement in the section.
The input to the restart is shown in Listing 8-50; the sorted Bulk Data are in Listing 8-51, and the
output from the flutter analysis is shown in Listing 8-52. The plotted V-g and V-f curves are
shown in Figure 8-23. The results of special interest are the following.
The weight and balance analysis shows a total wing weight of 250 lbs, with a center of gravity
60.0 in. outboard from the root and 14.0 in. aft of the front spar. The chordwise position of the
center of gravity can also be expressed as 47.5% of the wing chord.
The vibration analysis leads to the first four frequencies of 2.815, 5.649, 17.572, and 27.162 Hz.
An examination of the eigenvectors indicates that the first mode is bending and the second mode
is torsion. The third and fourth modes are difficult to characterize, but the spars appear to be
vibrating somewhat independently due to the lack of chordwise stiffening.
The flutter analysis predicts a second mode instability in Point 2 of the Flutter Summary (a
typical bending/torsion flutter because of the close bending and torsion frequencies and aft
center of gravity) at a velocity of 155 ft/s and frequency of 3.96 Hz. An instability also appears
in Point 1 with a zero frequency at a velocity of 270 ft/s; this is the divergence speed. Both
instabilities are seen in Figure 8-23.
The above is a demonstration of the restart for flutter analysis with the front and rear spar
temperatures raised 100°F. The vibration and flutter characteristics can be determined for other
temperature increases by restarting with other values of PARAM,NMLOOP. The following
values, from Listing 8-49, of LOOPID = NMLOOP correspond to the temperature increases
noted: NMLOOP = 1 for 0.001°F, NMLOOP = 5 for 50°F, NMLOOP = 20 for 150°F, and NMLOOP
= 25 for 200°F. The natural frequencies and flutter speeds have been studied up to 150°F and are
shown in Figure 8-24 and Figure 8-25. The dramatic effect of temperature is apparent in the
rapid decrease in frequencies and flutter speeds with increasing temperatures. Another study
(not shown) of vibration frequencies above 150°F suggests thermally induced buckling around
180°F; this characteristic deserves further investigation.

Restarts in the other aeroelastic SOLs, i.e., 144 and 146, can be made in the same way as the
SOL 145 restart. Case Control must include the initial temperature TEMP(INIT) set number, and
PARAM,NMLOOP must give the LOOPID for the temperature of interest. The Bulk Data must
include any additional constraints for the prescribed boundary conditions, and SOL 144 must
include the SUPORT entry. Any problems with the conditioning of the stiffness matrix from
SOL 153 when restarting in SOL 144 can be overcome by including PARAM,BAILOUT,-1 in the
Bulk Data. If there is any mass added to the system in the restart Bulk Data, e.g., an unrestrained

fuselage mass, a DMAP Alter is required to skip the mass check in the restart.

This example has used SOL 153 assuming the temperatures are known. If transient
temperatures are obtained using SOL 159, the TEMP entries required by SOL 153 can be obtained
in a “PCH” file by including the THERM(PRINT, PUNCH), OTIME, and SET commands
appropriately in the SOL 159 Case Control Section and the PARAM,CURVPLOT,1 entry in the
Bulk Data.

9.1 Overview
The dynamic aeroelastic response analysis provided in MSC.Nastran is demonstrated in five
applications: four applications use the BAH jet transport wing and one application uses the 15-
deg sweptback wing.
Examples HA146A (p. 583), HA146B (p. 599), and HA146C (p. 610) are analyses of the transient
response to a discrete gust, the random response to atmospheric turbulence, and the transient
response to an aileron input for the BAH wing, respectively. For the discrete and random gust
examples, the gust field is assumed to be uniform spanwise and the aircraft is free to plunge; the
pitching and rolling degrees of freedom are constrained. For the aileron response example,
motion is antisymmetric and the aircraft is free to roll while constrained in pitch and plunge. The
aerodynamic loads on the wing-aileron combination are calculated using the Doublet-Lattice
method at a Mach number of zero.
Examples HA146D and HA146DR (p. 627) are frequency response analyses of the BAH wing. A
frequency response analysis is always done as a first step within the aeroelastic response
solution. However, as demonstrated here, it may be done without any subsequent analysis (e.g.,
random analysis) in the run.
Example HA146E (p. 644)provides an analysis of the response of the 15-deg sweptback wing to
an impulsively applied load at the wing tip in order to investigate the transient response at
subcritical, critical, and supercritical speeds. The structural and aerodynamic models are the
same as in the subsonic flutter analysis described in Example HA145E (p. 397).
It should be noted that Case Control is an essential part of Dynamic Aeroelastic Analysis in that
any output not requested in the Case Control Section or the Bulk Data Section will not be
provided. In Static Aeroelastic Response and Aerodynamic Flutter analyses, certain output is
provided by default. There is no default output from Dynamic Aeroelastic Response analysis.

Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
9.2 Discrete Gust Response of BAH Wing (Example HA146A)
This example calculates the time history of the response of the BAH wing due to a gust load. The
gust is a discrete, sharp-edged, symmetric, vertical gust.
The structural model in this example is the same as the model described in Example HA144B
(p. 206). The structural input file is BAH_STRUCT.DAT and is shown in <hypertext>Listing 7-
4; the inertial input file is BAH_MASS and is shown in <hypertext>Listing 7-5. The simplified
aerodynamic box characteristics of Example HA145B (p. 357) are used here; the aerodynamic
input file is BAH_AERO5.DAT and it is shown in <hypertext>Listing 8-4. The additional input
data required by SOL 146 are described below.
The data set BAH_STRUCT.DAT provides all of the basic data for this example. It is necessary
to alter constraints for the symmetrical condition considered here on SPC 14 to constrain the
suport (GRID 11) in roll and pitch. The wing is therefore only free in plunge to permit correlation
with the gust response analysis of Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1956, pp. 682-685).
It is also important to include structural damping in a gust response analysis. It is included here
as modal structural damping via the tabular form in TABDMP1 2000 (along with SDAMP in
Case Control). A realistic value of g = 0.02 is assumed to be constant in the frequency range
from zero to 10.0 Hz. (Note that in the Fourier analyses in MSC.Nastran tabular entries are not
extrapolated beyond the tabulated range.)
The responses are calculated at a velocity of 475 mph (8360. in/s). This velocity is listed on the
AERO entry along with the aerodynamic coordinate system that prescribes the positive x-
coordinate downstream, the reference semichord, a sea-level density, and the symmetry flag
selected for symmetrical motion. The aerodynamic model is INCLUDEd with the input file
BAH_AERO5.DAT, which divides the wing into six strips (including one to represent the
fuselage carry-over loads). The GUST 1000 entry defines the external aerodynamic load that
comes from a stationary one-dimensional vertical gust. GUST 1000 defines the magnitude of the
gust angle of attack with a scale factor WG = 1.0 . It is desired to delay the application of the
gust for 0.2 sec in order to observe if the response has damped out sufficiently during the
previous period in the periodic Fourier solution. To obtain the 0.2 sec delay, the GUST entry
defines the reference location of the gust at 1672 in. ( 0.2 sec × 8360. in/s ) ahead of the
aerodynamic coordinate system ( x 0 = – 1672.0 in ) and lists the airplane velocity (8360. in/s).
The GUST entry also specifies the TLOAD1 1001 entry that defines the gust time history via the
TABLED1 1003 entry. A square-edged gust of unit magnitude is defined in the table with a 1.0
second duration. Because the Fourier transform method is used in the MSC.Nastran transient
aeroelastic analysis, the accelerations, internal forces, stresses, and relative displacements
characteristically will all approach some constant value (i.e., show some relative response) and
relative velocities will approach a value of zero at the end of each period. However, a technique
can be used that results in each of these response quantities, except displacements, approaching
a value of zero (i.e., show an absolute response). The technique requires following the applied
loading with an identical loading but in the opposite direction; the second loading could be
delayed but that is not recommended). This technique is illustrated here. To represent the
sharp-edged gust, the TABLED1 1003 entry defines a square-wave gust profile of sufficient
Main Index
584
duration to permit the peak response to occur, followed by the negative square-wave gust, and
a sufficiently long period is used so that the response damps out adequately before the next
period begins.
Another technique, not demonstrated here, would cause all of the response quantities, including
displacements, to approach values of zero. This would follow the applied loading with the
identical loading twice. The second loading would be in the opposite direction as the first but
with twice the magnitude, and the third loading would have the same magnitude and direction
as the first.
The response quantities determined when using either of these techniques are only valid during
the application of the initial loading; they are not valid during or after the application of the
second loading. For this reason, the initial loading must have sufficient duration so that all
critical responses are achieved.
The DAREA 1002 entry called by the TLOAD1 1001 entry has no influence on the load; it is a
dummy entry required by the presence of the TLOAD1 entry. However, the entry must specify
at least one point, component, and area. Only the DAREA entry associated with the GUST entry
is a dummy; if other loads are prescribed in the analysis, DAREA entries associated with these
other applied loads would be used.
The MKAERO1 entry selects the Mach numbers and reduced frequencies used in generating the
aerodynamic matrices. The Mach number is 0.62. The reduced frequencies, k = ωc ⁄ 2V , are
based on the velocity and reference chord from the AERO entry. At the cut-off frequency of 10.0
Hz, selected here to include the first four modes, and the 475 mph velocity, the reduced
frequency is 0.493. Values of k = 0.001 , 0.02 , 0.10 , and 0.50 are specified on the MKAERO1
entry to represent the range of reduced frequencies.
The PARAM,GUSTAERO entry is set to -1 in order for the harmonic gust aerodynamic
coefficients to be calculated in addition to the aerodynamic coefficients for harmonic motion.
When there are prescribed applied loads but no gust loading in the transient response analysis,
neither the PARAM,GUSTAERO nor the GUST entries are required. The flight condition is
additionally specified by the Mach number on the PARAM,MACH,0.62 entry and dynamic
pressure on the PARAM,Q,4.00747 entry.
The ElGR entry selects the eigenvalue method for the vibration modes to be calculated and
subsequently used for the modal formulation. The rigid body plunge mode and all 10 elastic
modes are calculated. They are determined using the Modified Givens (MGIV) method and are
normalized to their maximum displacements with MAX.
The determination of the root bending moment at the side of the fuselage, GRID 11, is the
primary objective of this gust analysis. The stress data recovery method used to determine the
bending moment is the default Matrix method. (The stress data recovery method is selected by
PARAM,DDRMM; the default value is 0 and is more economical when the number of output
time steps is large. The Mode Displacement method is selected by PARAM,DDRMM,-1.) To
increase the accuracy of the results from the Matrix method, all 11 wing modes are included in
the modal formulation.

CHAPTER 9 585
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
The range of frequencies for which the solution is performed is selected by the FREQ1 40 entry.
The frequency range includes the first elastic mode, which is wing bending at f = 2.44 Hz . As
more modes are included within the frequency range, the accuracy of the solution increases.
Therefore a 10.0 Hz frequency range is chosen that includes the next two elastic modes at 3.56
and 8.53 Hz. 80 frequencies with a ∆f = DF = 0.125 Hz interval are selected. Because equally
spaced frequencies are selected, the FREQ1 entry is appropriate to input the data. The period of
the solution for equally spaced frequencies is T = 1 ⁄ ∆f = 8.0 sec , i.e., the solution will repeat
every 8.0 seconds.
The Fourier transformation parameters for SOL 146 must be selected to represent both the
resonance characteristics of the structure, the duration of the loading, and the requirement to
return to the initial conditions at the end of the period. Closely spaced frequencies are necessary
near the resonance frequencies, and small frequency intervals are necessary to obtain a period
that is large relative to the duration of the applied loading. For these reasons, the FREQ1 entry
is recommended with small, equal frequency intervals.
The TSTEP 41 entry defines the output time steps by their number and increment and includes
a skip factor for output. The output time steps have no influence on the solution as they do in a
transient response analysis by numerical integration; they are only used to specify the output
time steps. The period is 8.0 seconds, so 320 time steps of 0.025 seconds increments are specified
for printing and plotting. ENDDATA is the last entry in the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Command. The Case Control Section contains the TITLE, SUBTITLE, and
LABEL entries. ECHO = BOTH echoes all of the Bulk Data with and without annotations. SPC
= 14 selects the constraints. METHOD = 10 selects the ElGR entry for the vibration analysis.
SDAMP = 2000 selects the uniform two percent modal structural damping. FREQ = 40 selects
the frequency list and TSTEP = 41 selects the time history output. GUST = 1000 selects the gust
load. The DLOAD entry is required in SOL 146 in the Case Control Section even when there are
only gust loads. SDlSP(PLOT) = 1 and DISP(PLOT) = 2 specify the SET 1 and SET 2 points for
determining modal and physical displacements to be plotted. SPCF = 3 causes the constraint
forces, i.e., the root bending moment at GRID 11, to be printed. Following OUTPUT(XYOUT)
are the XYPLOT requests. Before the first XYPLOT request are several optional statements that
define the plot frame and the plot titles. XYPLOTS are requested for the first and second modes
and the bending moment at the root. The BEGIN BULK command completes the Case Control
Section.
The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA146A that denotes
Problem No. HA146A in the Test Problem Library. TIME 10 limits CPU time to 10.0 minutes.
SOL 146 calls for the Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Solution. The CEND statement completes
the Executive Control Section.

below.

Of the 11 modal responses calculated for the aeroelastic response solution, the first and second
responses are printed and are plotted in <hypertext>Figure 9-1 and <hypertext>Figure 9-2. The
wing aft tip deflection at GRID 10 is also printed and is plotted in <hypertext>Figure 9-3; the
limited effect of the wing dynamics is seen as the deflection follows the rigid body mode (see
<hypertext>Figure 9-1 and <hypertext>Figure 9-3).

The root bending moment is printed under the heading of FORCES OF SINGLE-POINT
CONSTRAINT for GRID 11 column R3 and is plotted in <hypertext>Figure 9-4.
Because certain approximations are made regarding the Fourier series, and due to the method
in which the gust load was applied, the printed and plotted output show the absolute response
of the SPC forces but only the relative response of the displacements. This is evident for the rigid
body plunge mode (<hypertext>Figure 9-1) since this response begins and ends with some
nonzero value.
Inspection of the plots shows the 0.2 second delay and that the response is damped out by the
end of the period. The amplitude of the wing first bending mode in <hypertext>Figure 9-2 goes
to zero (the relative displacement returns to its initial constant value) after a few seconds and the
wing returns to its trimmed condition.
Example 10-5 from Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 682-685) shows the dynamic
bending moment calculated at the wing root of the BAH wing at 475 mph due to a sharp-edged
gust, including the plunging of the airplane and the first bending mode of the wing, and

calculating the aerodynamic loads by quasi-steady aerodynamic strip theory. The comparison
can therefore only be qualitative because of the many more vibration modes and unsteady
aerodynamic lifting surface theory used here.
The GENEL entry is used to input the flexibility of the structure and defines nonstandard
rotational degrees of freedom for GRID 11. R1 and R2 are rolling and pitching degrees of
freedom respectively, and R3 represents the wing root bending degree of freedom. The GENEL
for the BAH wing has been discussed in Example HA144B (p. 206). The column in the output
FORCES OF SINGLE-POINT CONSTRAINT labeled R3 provides the desired data for wing root
bending moment. The peak response of the wing occurs at about 25 semichords into the gust.

CHAPTER 9 599
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
9.3 Transient Rolling of BAH Wing Due to Aileron
(Example HA146B)
This example considers the roll response of the BAH wing due to an enforced rotation of the
aileron. The Lagrange Multiplier method is used to enforce the aileron rotation, a technique that
is discussed in “<hypertext>Diagnostic Messages for Dynamic Analysis” on page 479 of the
<emphasis>MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamics User’s Guide. Example 8-4 of Bisplinghoff, Ashley,
and Halfman (1955, pp. 467-469) shows the calculation of the aileron effectiveness of the BAH
wing as a function of Mach number using aerodynamic strip theory. Example HA144B (p. 206)
determined the steady roll rate as an antisymmetric static aeroelastic problem. The present
example solves for the steady roll rate from the time history of a single degree-of-freedom rolling
maneuver by use of the dynamic aeroelastic response technique. The basic model is the same as
before: the structural model is contained in the input files BAH_STRUCT.DAT
(<hypertext>Listing 7-4), BAH_MASS.DAT (<hypertext>Listing 7-5), and
BAH_AILERON.DAT (<hypertext>Listing 7-6), and the aerodynamic model is contained in the
data set BAH_AERO58.DAT (<hypertext>Listing 7-7). Only the new or modified data are
discussed below.
The dynamic response analysis benefits from the inclusion of some structural damping, and a
level of g = 0.03 is included in TABDMP1 2000. The fuselage GRID 11 requires additional
constraints in plunge and pitch on SPC 13 but is free in roll. The aileron region of the
aerodynamic model also requires a spline to connect the trailing edge region boxes on the
surface SPLINE1 104 to the aileron GRIDs 8, 10, and 12 on SET1 15.
The type of dynamic excitation applied to the aileron is an enforced rotation, which is enforced
by the Lagrange Multiplier method. A negative unit aileron rotation δ a = –1.0 rad is selected
for the enforced rotation on the right wing in order to cause the wing to roll positively, i.e., the
right wing tip moves downward. The desired aileron rotation is obtained by applying an
unknown hinge moment to the aileron. The hinge moment is introduced as an “extra” DOF,
EPOlNT 115 entry in the Bulk Data Section, which augments the stiffness matrix. Displacements
proportional to structural loads imposed at extra points are represented by additional terms in
the stiffness matrix at the intersections of columns corresponding to the structural grid points
and the additional rows corresponding to the extra points. The DMIG ENFORCE entry defines
this relationship in the matrix form that includes both EPOlNT 115 and GRID 12, DOF R2. The
matrix ENFORCE automatically augments the structural stiffness matrix via the K2PP =
ENFORCE Case Control command.
The response analysis is done at the aircraft velocity of 475 mph = 8360 in/s but assuming a
Mach number of 0.0 and at four reduced frequencies of 0.001, 0.02, 0.10 and 0.50 as listed on the
MKAERO1 entry. The reduced frequencies cover the range of frequencies up to the assumed
cut-off frequency of 10.0 Hz and includes the first four antisymmetrical vibration modes that are
more than sufficient to represent the motion of a rigid body roll. The selection of Mach number
0.0 neglects compressibility effects. The AERO entry lists the velocity at 8360.0 in/s, along with
the reference chord, sea-level density, and the flag for antisymmetrical aerodynamic loads.
PARAM,Q selects a value of 4.00747 psi for the dynamic pressure, which corresponds to the
velocity of 475 mph at sea level.

The TLOAD1 1000 entry identifies the scale factor DAREA 1001, the DELAY 1002, the time-
dependent moment by the blank TYPE field, and the loading table TID 1003. DAREA 1001
specifies EPOlNT 115 as the point of load application in the Lagrange Multiplier technique, and
an aileron rotation scale factor of -1.0. DELAY 1002 defines a time delay of 0.2 seconds in order
to observe that the response has damped out at the end of the previous period in the Fourier
analysis, and to avoid having to compute the time history for a complete period.
As in the discrete gust analysis (see Example HA146A in the previous section), a square-wave
time history of the forcing function is input. The rotation is enforced for 1.0 second on the
aileron, then reversed for 1.0 second, and then returned to zero for the roll rate to damp out
reasonably well before the next period. TABLED1 1003 provides the tabular description of the
aileron input beginning with 1.0 rad for the first second and then reversing to -1.0 rad for the
next second. (Note that there is no extrapolation of tabulated data in Fourier analysis, so the
return of the aileron to 0.0 rad is implied beyond two seconds.) By the Lagrange Multiplier
method outlined above, the moment applied at EPOlNT 115 leads to the unit enforced rotation
about the aileron hinge line.
The EIGR entry specifies the modified Givens eigenvalue method MGIV and requests all
12 modes to be found and normalized on the largest element. PARAM,LMODES,12 uses all
12 modes in the response calculation. The default is to use all of the modes calculated by EIGR,
so LMODES is not needed, but it is included here to emphasize the requirement to have the
aileron mode present in the analysis because, in this example, the aileron mode has the highest
frequency. If the aileron actuator (CELAS2 3) had a lower stiffness, fewer modes could have
been used.
The FREQ1 40 entry lists the equally spaced frequencies at which the Fourier analysis is
performed. If a period of T = 5.0 seconds is assumed to be sufficient for the motion induced by
the 2.0 sec duration aileron excitation to damp out, then the frequency interval becomes
∆f = DF = 1 ⁄ T = 0.2 Hz and the number of equally spaced frequencies up to the assumed
cutoff at 10.0 Hz becomes NDF = 50.
A response record is requested up to the reversal of the aileron input at 1.20 seconds. The
Fourier analysis precedes and is independent of the output time history. The purpose of this
analysis is to solve for the steady roll rate, which is found by numerical differentiation of the
output time history. A sufficiently accurate derivative can be found using a time interval of
∆t = 0.02 sec , so TSTEP 41 prescribes N = 60 and DT = 0.02.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section contains the TITLE, SUBTITLE, LABEL,
and ECHO = BOTH. SPC = 13 selects some of the root constraints. MPC = 1 selects the
multipoint constraint equation used to represent the control surface relative motion. METHOD
= 10 selects the EIGR entry for the vibration analysis and SVEC = ALL requests the printed
eigenvectors. K2PP = ENFORCE selects the DMlG entry. SDAMP = 2000 selects g = 0.03 for
the modal damping. DLOAD = 1000 selects the hinge moment applied to the EPOlNT 115.
FREQ = 40 selects the frequency list. TSTEP = 41 selects the time history output request. DISP
= 2 selects SET 2 for printing the physical displacements of GRIDs 11 and 12. Following
OUTPUT(XYOUT) is an xy-plot request. Before the plot request are several optional statements
that define the plot frame and plot titles. An XYPLOT is requested for the wing (roll) at GRID
11 about the x-axis. The BEGIN BULK command completes the Case Control Section.

Output. The input control and data files are shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-4, the sorted Bulk
Data entries are in <hypertext>Listing 9-5. Selected output is shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-6
and is discussed briefly below.
The first output is the vibration frequency analysis. This is followed by the first three and the
last vibration modes. The first mode is rigid body roll with a computed zero frequency. The
second mode is first antisymmetric torsion and the third mode is first antisymmetric bending.
The twelfth mode is the aileron rotation mode with its 60.0 Hz frequency.
The third set of output is the time history of the roll maneuver, which is also plotted in
<hypertext>Figure 9-5 as represented by the bank angle of GRID 11, DOF R1. The history does
not begin at zero because no initial conditions are imposed in the Fourier analysis and the aileron
input was selected to damp to zero roll rate rather than zero bank angle. (Note, however, that
the bank angle is initially relatively constant at -0.718 rad and shows the maneuver of the
previous period to have damped out.) It is the roll rate that is of interest in this analysis rather
than the bank angle, and the roll rate can be obtained by numerical differentiation of the bank
angle time history. The roll begins at 0.2 seconds due to the delay on the TLOAD1,1000 entry.
The steady roll rate (the constant slope of the bank angle versus time curve) is achieved after 1.0
sec in <hypertext>Figure 9-5. Numerical differentiation between t = 1.18 and 1.20 sec gives a
roll rate p = 3.30 rad/sec for the unit aileron rotation δ a = 1.0 rad . With the velocity of
V = 8360 in/s and the wing semispan of b = 500 in , the steady rolling helix angle becomes
pb ⁄ 2Vδ a = 0.197 . This agrees closely with the static aeroelastic solution of Example HA144B
(p. 206), which obtained pb ⁄ 2Vδ a = 0.203 .
Figure 8-18 of Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, p. 469) is reproduced in
<hypertext>Figure 9-5 to permit a qualitative comparison between the results of the
MSC.Nastran dynamic Fourier transform solution, based on Lifting Surface Theory (DLM) at
Mach zero, and the earlier static aeroelastic results based on Strip Theory with a Prandtl-Glauert
compressibility correction. The textbook gives a pb ⁄ 2Vδ a value of 0.061, which can be
compared with the 0.197 value cited above. The textbook value can be approached by: reducing
the effectiveness of the aileron by 61.5% to match the textbook at zero dynamic pressure and by
performing the analysis at M = 0.728 , q = 5.43 psf. to match the textbook condition. With
these changes MSC.Nastran gives a steady state roll rate of 0.075.

9.4 Random Gust Response of BAH Wing (Example HA146C)
This example shows the BAH wing of Example HA146A (p. 583) responding to a random, rather
than discrete, gust. Because atmospheric turbulence is a continuous random phenomenon, it is
more appropriately analyzed by a statistical approach instead of the deterministic approach of
the discrete gust idealization.
In this example, only the loading is changed from Example HA146A (p. 583). Therefore, the
same structural and aerodynamic models are used with the vehicle again free to translate
vertically without pitching. The new loading data entries are discussed below.
The purpose of the analysis is to determine the power spectral density (PSD) function of the root
bending moment of the BAH wing at 475 mph at sea level, as has been done by Bisplinghoff,
Ashley, and Halfman (1955, p. 691) using Strip Theory and the empirical power spectrum of
atmospheric turbulence defined by

φ ---- = ------------------------------------------- ---------------

Eq. 9-1
V ω rad/ft

0.000004 + ----
V
in which V is in ft/s, and in this example V = 475 mph = 696.67 ft/s . This spectrum results in
a mean square gust velocity of
∞ ω ω
∫0 φ ---V- d ---V-
2 2
wG = = 15π = 47.12 ( ft/s ) Eq. 9-2
MSC.Nastran requires frequencies to be measured in Hertz. It is convenient to factor out the
mean square gust velocity, so the spectrum is rewritten [by multiplying <hypertext>Eq. 9-1 by

2πw G ⁄ 15πV ]

The coefficient of w G ⁄ V in <hypertext>Eq. 9-3 is the spectrum input into MSC.Nastran; w G is

input on the RANDPS entry, and 1/V is input on the GUST entry. The spectrum S a ( f ) has units
of 1/Hz, and its mean square value should be unity although it will be less because of the
truncation error in the integral of <hypertext>Eq. 9-3 due to the finite cutoff frequency. Note
that in MSC.Nastran

wG = ∫0 S a ( f ) df Eq. 9-4

CHAPTER 9 611
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
Because this empirical gust spectrum is not a standard form in MSC.Nastran (the Dryden and
von Kármán forms are standard and are specified via the TABRNDG entry), it must be input in
the tabular format using TABRND1. This input provides the frequency content of the gust for
the random analysis in a format similar to that of the gust profile provided for the gust time
history of the discrete gust transient analysis.
The GUST 3002 entry specifies some of the gust characteristics. The DLOAD field refers to the
RLOAD1 3002 entry, the scale factor (angle of attack) of the gust WG (gust velocity/forward
velocity) is set to 1.0/V for an assumed unit gust velocity amplitude, the reference station for the
gust X0 does not apply in this frequency response analysis and is selected as 0.0. The velocity is
8360 in/s. The RLOAD1 3002 entry refers to the DAREA 3003 entry that is a required entry
although its scale factor is not used in the gust analysis (see Remark 5 on DAREA entry);
however, in this case DAREA is used to apply the spectrum to an EPOINT for the special
purpose discussed below. The RLOAD1 entry also refers to the TABLED1 3004, which provides
the unit gust frequency response up to the cutoff frequency of 10.0 Hz.
Random Response. The RANDPS 1031 entry specifies the PSD for the random analysis called
out by the command RANDOM = 1031 in the Case Control section. MSC.Nastran Random
Analysis permits subcases for different excited (J) and applied (K) load sets, but for the gust
analysis only an autospectral density is available so the J = K = 1 on the RANDPS entry. It
selects the TABRDN1 1032 entry that defines the PSD of the source (the gust) with a unit real
2
coefficient G = X + iY = 1.0 + i0.0. The PSD of the gust is defined in a tabular format with
frequencies ranging from 0.0 to the cutoff at f co = 10.0 Hz .
The MKAERO1 entry selects the Mach numbers and reduced frequencies used in generating the
aerodynamic matrices. The Mach number is 0.62 and the reduced frequencies, k = 0.001 , 0.02 ,
0.10 , and 0.50 , are selected to cover the range of vibration frequencies up to 10.0 Hz .
The PARAM,GUSTAERO,-1 entry is required to obtain the aerodynamic loads for the one-
dimensional harmonic gust field in addition to the aerodynamic loads caused by the vibrating
structure. When there are no gust loads, neither the PARAM,GUSTAERO nor the GUST entry
are required. SOL 146 also requires the flight condition data of Mach number and dynamic
pressure as parameters: PARAM,MACH,0.62 and PARAM,Q,4.000747.
The EIGR entry selects the GlVENS method (GIV) for determining the 11 vibration modes used
in the modal formulation. These modes are the same modes selected and discussed in the
discrete gust Example HA146A.
The BAH wing is free to plunge vertically, and this degree of freedom results in a frequency
response to the harmonic gust field that should be zero at zero frequency. This limit cannot be
achieved in MSC.Nastran for numerical reasons, so the lower frequency is selected as 0.001 Hz
on the FREQ 40 entry. The remaining frequencies are equally spaced, as is recommended in the
Fourier solution, using the FREQ1 40 entry that selects 79 equally spaced frequencies with an
interval of ∆f = 0.125 Hz from f = 0.125 up to 10.0Hz .
The turbulence PSD selected for the random response analysis is not automatically output by
MSC.Nastran, and a number of additional entries are required. An extra point EPOINT 50 is
introduced and incorporated into the stiffness matrix by means of a DMIG entry. The DMIG
STIFF entry adds a value of 1.0 to the structural stiffness matrix and represents the stiffness at
Main Index
612
the extra point. EPOINT 50 is independent of and not connected to the rest of the model. Its ID
must be selected less than the lowest numbered CAERO entry, i.e., 1001. A unit load amplitude
for all frequencies is applied to EPOINT 50 by means of RLOAD1 3002 and of DAREA 3003,
which selects EPOINT 50 as the degree of freedom loaded by the unit loading condition in
TABLED1 3004. This results in a unit displacement for EPOINT 50. This technique can also be
used to output the conventional MSC.Nastran gust PSDs that may be selected on the TABRNDG
entry. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section contains the TITLE, SUBTITLE, and
LABEL commands. ECHO = BOTH echoes back all of the Bulk Data in annotated and sorted
formats. SPC = 14 selects the symmetric boundary condition. METHOD = 10 selects the ElGR
entry for determining the vibration modes. SDAMP = 2000 selects the modal damping. FREQ
= 40 selects the frequency set for which the frequency response calculations are performed.
RANDOM = 1031 specifies that this is a random analysis and refers to the RANDPS entry. K2PP
= STIFF refers to the DMlG entry with the same name and specifies that the EPOINT 50 augment
the stiffness matrix. OUTPUT heads the requests for print and plot data. The SDISP(PLOT) = 1
and DlSP(PLOT) = 1 specifies the displacements to be determined for EPOINT 50; both of these
requests are necessary to print and plot the power spectrum of the gust. SPCF(PHASE) = 3, SET
3 = 11 causes the magnitude and phase of the constraint forces to be generated.
SUBCASE 1 is the only loading condition and is referenced by the Bulk Data entry
RANDPS 1031. The GUST = 3002 command identifies the gust and the DLOAD = 3002
command selects RLOAD1 3002, which applies the unit load to EPOINT 50.
Following the OUTPUT(XYOUT) command are the xy-output requests. (The user is referred to
Section 13.3 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual for xy-output.) Preceding the first xy-output
request are several optional statements that define the plot frames and titles. Then, xy-plots are
requested for the wing root bending moment with the magnitude and phase on the same page
by XYPLOT SPCF/11(R3RM,R3IP). The next xy-output request is for the print and plot of the
PSD for the wing root bending moment by XYPRINT,XYPLOT SPCF PSDF/11(R3). The last two
xy-output requests are for the print and plot of the displacement PSD for EPOINT 50 by
XYPRINT,XYPLOT SDISP PSDF/50(T1)and XYPRINT,XYPLOT DISP PSDF/50(T1). Both
requests are necessary to obtain the desired PSD check. This generates the the PSD of the
atmospheric turbulence as input on the TABRND1 entry. However, this technique leads to a
number of user warning messages from the PLOT module indicating that some plots are not
generated. These messages can safely be ignored. The BEGIN BULK command completes the
Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA146C, which denotes
Problem No. HA146C in the Test Problem Library. TIME 10 limits the CPU time to 10.0 minutes.
SOL 146 calls for the Dynamic Aeroelastic Response DMAP sequence. The CEND statement
completes the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data are shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-7 followed by the sorted Bulk Data
entries in <hypertext>Listing 9-8. Selected items in the printed output are shown in
<hypertext>Listing 9-9. The requested xy-plots are shown in the <hypertext>Figure 9-6 through

Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
The first output listed is the symmetric vibration analysis. All 11 modes are calculated for
formulating the modal matrices. They are the rigid body plunge mode and the 10 elastic modes.
Next is the XY-OUTPUT SUMMARY for the input PSDF. The curve ID is 50(3) referring to
EPOINT 50, component 3; the component 3 corresponds to the 50(T1) request according to the
Item Code in “<hypertext>Plotting” on page 501 of the <emphasis>MSC.Nastran Reference
Guide. The summary includes the RMS value of 0.995306 and the mean frequency of zero
crossings N0 = 1.177425 Hz. The RMS value should be unity, as discussed above, but is slightly
less because of the 10.0 Hz cutoff frequency.
The third output shown is the input power spectrum, again labeled Curve ID = 50, component 3.
This is the input on TABRND1 1032 except for the initial interpolated value at f = 0.001 Hz . The
input PSDF is also plotted in <hypertext>Figure 9-6.
Figure 9-6 Power Spectral Density Function of Gust [<hypertext>Eq. 9-3]
The COMPLEX FORCES OF SINGLE POINT CONSTRAINT output is the frequency response
of the constraint forces at GRID 11 due to the gust and is printed next. The constraint forces are
presented in polar format as magnitude and phase. GRID 11 degree of freedom R3 is a
nonstandard degree of freedom as defined by the GENEL element and represents the wing root

bending moment at the side of the fuselage. (Note: GRID 11, R1 is the bending moment at the
airplane centerline, and GRID 11, R2 is the root torque.) The magnitude and phase of the wing
root bending moment are plotted in the split frames of <hypertext>Figure 9-7.
Figure 9-7 Magnitude and Phase of Wing Root Bending Moment
The next XY-OUTPUT SUMMARY is for Curve ID 11(8), which is the Item Code for degree of
freedom R3 (see “<hypertext>Plotting” on page 501 of the <emphasis>MSC.Nastran Reference
Guide). The RMS value of the root bending moment is 20,501.9 in-lb for the unit gust rms
velocity w G , and the mean frequency of zero crossings is N 0 = 1.620235 Hz .
The last printed output is the PSDF of the root bending moment. It is also plotted along with
results obtained from a textbook, in <hypertext>Figure 9-8.
The frequency response of the mean square root bending moment here is obtained by rerunning
this example with the input PSDF in TABRND1 1032 changed to a unit spectrum. Then the
output PSDF is the desired frequency response function, i.e., the mean square of the root
bending moment and is plotted along with textbook results, in <hypertext>Figure 9-9.

The earlier solution of Bisplinghoff, Ashley, and Halfman (1955, pp. 693, 694) is plotted in
Figure 10-26 of that textbook as the frequency response of the mean square root bending
moment (called the admittance function in the text), and in Figure 10-27 of that same text as the
power spectrum of the root bending moment. These two textbook plots are scaled and added to
<hypertext>Figure 9-9 and <hypertext>Figure 9-8, respectively, in this guide for comparisons to
the present solution.

CHAPTER 9 627
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
9.5 Frequency Response of BAH Wing to Oscillating Aileron
(Examples HA146D and HA146DR)
Each of the four previous dynamic aeroelastic response examples performs a frequency response
analysis. This is followed by either a transformation into the time domain via an inverse Fourier
transform or by postprocessing of the data for random analysis. The purpose of this example is
to demonstrate a straightforward application of the dynamic aeroelastic response capability,
which is entirely in the frequency domain, and to outline the restart capability. Both the
enforced displacement of the aileron and the output are examined in the frequency domain.
The structural and aerodynamic models are identical to the earlier transient roll model (Example
HA146B (p. 599)) but here the enforced displacement is oscillatory. The Lagrange multiplier
information, the EPOlNT and the DMlG, all related to the loading in the transient roll example,
are the same. The only difference here is that the frequency-dependent enforced aileron rotation
is input via the RLOAD1 entry in contrast to the TLOAD1 entry required previously for the time
history of the transient enforced rotation. RLOAD1 1000 specifies DAREA 1001, which provides
the scale factor A = – 1.0 for the magnitude of the aileron rotation (applied to the EPOINT in the
Lagrange multiplier technique), DELAY 1002, which has no effect on the frequency response
solution, and TABLED1 1003 for the frequency response of the enforced rotation.
The frequency response solution is performed over 50 equally spaced intervals with an
increment of ∆f = 0.1 Hz for a total range of 5.0 Hz via the FREQ1 40 entry even though
TABLED1 covers an input frequency range up to 10.0 Hz. The 5.0 Hz range includes the first
three modes determined by the vibration analysis. The first mode is the rigid body roll mode,
the second mode is first wing torsion, and third mode is the wing first antisymmetric bending
mode. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data Section.
Case Control Command. The Case Control Section is similar to that for the transient roll
example. The K2PP request for the Lagrange multiplier is still required but the TSTEP output
request has been deleted and the displacement output request has been replaced with a
constraint force output request: SPCF = 1, where SET 1 is the fuselage GRID 11.
The plot request is different from the plot request in HA146B. Here the frequency responses of
wing root bending moment and torque are requested in polar form; split frames present the
magnitude above the phase angle as functions of the frequency. The constraint force at GRID 11,
DOF R3 is the bending moment at the side of the fuselage, and the force at GRID 11, DOF R2 is
the torque. The BEGIN BULK entry completes the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section identifies the problem as ID MSC, HA146D, which denotes
Problem No. HA146D in the Test Problem Library. The time is limited to 10.0 CPU minutes and
SOL 146 calls for the dynamic aeroelastic response DMAP sequence. The CEND entry completes
the Executive Control Section.
Output. The input data and the sorted Bulk Data entries are shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-10
and <hypertext>Listing 9-11. Selected outputs are in <hypertext>Listing 9-12,
<hypertext>Figure 9-10 and <hypertext>Figure 9-11 and are discussed as follows.
Main Index

The antisymmetric frequencies of the BAH wing are shown first in <hypertext>Listing 9-12. The
first frequency is a computed zero for the rigid body roll mode. The second frequency is
3.540 Hz for the first torsion mode, and the third frequency is 4.645 Hz for the first antisymmetric
bending mode. The frequency responses for the root shear (T3), the root torque (R2), and the
root bending moment (R3) are listed next under COMPLEX FORCES OF SINGLE POINT
CONSTRAINT. The root bending moment and torque are plotted in <hypertext>Figure 9-10
and <hypertext>Figure 9-11, respectively. The expected resonances in the frequency response
are found in the tabulated and plotted data: the root bending moment peaks near the first
bending frequency and the root torque peaks near the first torsion frequency.

This example is very similar to the HA146B example (p. 599) and is therefore a good candidate
for the demonstration of the MSC.Nastran automatic restart capability (see
“<hypertext>Restarts” on page 136). A comparison of the HA146B and HA146D input files
shows that the structure, aerodynamic models, and aerodynamic hard points are identical. The
same boundary conditions are applied so that the eigenanalysis results (compare
<hypertext>Listing 9-6 and <hypertext>Listing 9-12) are identical. Only the loadings differ with
HA146B performing a transient roll analysis while the present analysis is for frequency
response. The HA146D example can therefore be run as a “restart” of the a HA146B run that has
saved its database. The job submittal for the cold start is:
nast68 ha146b scr=no
<hypertext>Listing 9-13 shows the input data file for the restart run and it is seen that the
Executive and Case Control Sections are identical to the HA146D file shown in
<hypertext>Listing 9-10 with a RESTART command statement added at the top of the listing to
indicate that the run is a restart and that it is to use the first “version” of data contained on the
database. The Bulk Data Section is minimal in this run and first deletes the loading of the
HA146B run by referencing the sorted Bulk Data echo line numbers of <hypertext>Listing 9-5
(the deletion of entries 97 through 101 removes TABLED1, TLOAD1, and TSTEP entries while
Main Index
630
the deletion of entry 45 removes the FREQ1 request). The subsequent RLOAD1, TABLED1 and
FREQ1 entries define the new frequency response loading and are those used for HA146D. The
restart run is submitted using
nast68 ha146d_rst scr=no dbs=ha146b
The sorted Bulk Data listing is shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-14. The X-Y output summary
from the restart is shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-15, and these results are identical to those
shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-12.

9.6 Subsonic Transient Response Analysis of a Sweptback
Wing to an Impulsive Force Applied at the Tip
(Example HA146E)
This example is the same model of the sweptback wing that was used in the flutter analysis of
Example HA145E (p. 397) with an impulsive load now applied at the wing tip. The flutter speed
of this model, determined by Example HA145E, is 491 ft/s = 5892 in/s and is one of these
velocities at which this analysis is performed. Analyses are also performed at velocities above
and below the flutter speed.
The structural model and the aerodynamic model are the same as those described in the flutter
analysis of Example HA145E as are the root mounting conditions. A four mode solution is again
used in order to have the identical flutter speed. The new loading entries are discussed below.
The TLOAD1 10 entry specifies the DAREA 12, DELAY 13, and TABLED1 14 entries that define
the impulsive loading. The loading is applied at GRID 40 at the tip trailing edge of the wing in
the positive z-direction. A frequency interval of ∆f = 5.0 Hz is selected and results in a period
T = 1 ⁄ ∆f = 0.2 seconds . A 0.1 second delay (i.e., half the period) is specified on the DELAY
entry before the impulse is applied so that the response for a complete period need not be
calculated; however, two full cycles are calculated here to illustrate the complete behavior of the
Fourier solution in the three cases of stability (below the flutter speed), neutral stability (at the
flutter speed), and instability (above the flutter speed). The unit impulse (the area under the
–6 6
curve is 1.0) is applied for 10 seconds with a force of 10 lbs. The unit impulse is followed by
a second impulse that is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign. As explained in Example
HA146A (p. 583), certain output, such as stresses, will now tend to a zero value; however, in this
example of a cantilever wing, the deflections will also approach zero.
Three analyses are performed on the swept wing at three different speeds. The data input files
are different only in the velocity on the AERO entry and in the corresponding dynamic pressure
defined by PARAM,Q. The velocities are 450.0, 491.0 (the flutter speed), and 530.0 ft/s and the
corresponding dynamic pressures based on the wind tunnel test density of 0.0023 slugs/cu. ft.
are 1.617, 1.925, and 2.343 psi, respectively. The ENDDATA entry completes the Bulk Data
Section.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section contains the TITLE, SUBTITLE, and
LABEL commands. ECHO = BOTH echoes back all of the Bulk Data. SPC = 1 selects the
boundary conditions, METHOD = 10 selects the EIGR entry for the vibration analysis, SDAMP
= 2000 selects the damping, DLOAD = 10 selects the impulsive load, FREQ = 101 selects the
frequency list and TSTEP = 201 selects the time history output. The DISP command specifies that
displacements of GRID 40 be calculated and printed. Following OUTPUT(XYOUT) is an xy-plot
request. Preceding the plot request are several optional statements that define the plot frame
and plot titles. An XYPLOT is requested for the tip displacement of the wing at GRID 40 in the
z-direction. The BEGIN BULK command completes the Case Control Section.
The Executive Control Section lists the identification as ID MSC, HA146E, which denotes
Problem No. HA146E in the Test Problem Library. TIME 10 limits the CPU to 10.0 minutes. SOL
146 is the Dynamic Aeroelastic Response solution sequence. The CEND statement completes the
Executive Control Section.

CHAPTER 9 645
Dynamic Aeroelastic Response Analysis
The input data are shown in <hypertext>Listing 9-16, the sorted Bulk Data are in
<hypertext>Listing 9-17, and selected output are in <hypertext>Listing 9-18. The output is
discussed briefly below.
<hypertext>Figure 9-12 is from the analysis performed at 450 ft/s = 5400 in/s. Since there is a
0.1 sec delay, the first full period plotted is from 0.1 to 0.3 seconds. The responses from 0.0 to 0.1
seconds and from 0.2 to 0.3 seconds represent the same portions of separate periods.
<hypertext>Figure 9-12 shows, that below the flutter speed, the tip displacement peaks
immediately and then damps out to negligible values in about 0.1 sec. This type of stable
behavior is expected below the flutter speed.
<hypertext>Figure 9-13 is from the analysis performed at the flutter speed of 491 ft/s = 5892 in/s
and shows that the same impulsive load first excites a stable mode, which damps out, followed
by an unstable mode that appears as a divergent oscillation. This is to be expected at or above
the flutter speed and illustrates the behavior of the Fourier analysis for a neutrally stable system.
As a further demonstration, the same analysis is performed above the flutter speed at 530 ft/s =
6360 in/s, and large dynamic instabilities are apparent in the plotted results as shown in
<hypertext>Figure 9-14. The stable mode again damps out and then the unstable mode diverges
very rapidly. These rapidly increasing displacements occur as expected when the wing is
disturbed above the flutter velocity. The results presented here demonstrate the consistency of
MSC.Nastran between solution sequences (i.e., SOL 145 calculates 5892 in/s = 491 ft/s as the
flutter speed and SOL 146 calculates large dynamic responses at or above this value). However,
the transient results here must be regarded as more qualitative than quantitative as far as
accuracy of a calculated instability boundary (i.e., flutter speed) is concerned.

10.1 Overview
Aeroelastic design sensitivity and optimization are available in Solution 200. These capabilities
are based on static aeroelastic analysis, Solution 144, and flutter analysis, Solution 145.
Optimization of aeroelastic characteristics can therefore be combined with the other
optimization features of Solution 200. Flight vehicles can then be designed optimally for
aeroelastic loads, flying qualities, and flutter as well as for strength, vibration frequencies, and
buckling characteristics. The theory, algorithms, and applications for aeroelastic optimization
have been published by Neill, Johnson, and Canfield (1987), Johnson and Venkayya (1988), and
Johnson and Reymond (1991).
The specification of an aeroelastic design requires the specification of the response quantities
that are to be included in the design process and the determination of these responses.
MSC.Nastran permits the specification of a number of responses for static analysis including
displacements, stresses, strains, and forces, and these capabilities are available in static
aeroelasticity. The response quantities for aeroelastic design include:
• Trim variables in a static aeroelastic response. These allow the user to design for limits
imposed on, e.g., the trim angle of attack or control surface travel.
• Stability derivatives. These allow the user to specify limits on, e.g., the rolling
effectiveness of an aileron.
• Flutter damping level. This assures flutter stability without a requirement to determine
the actual flutter speed.
Once a quantity is identified as a response, it can be used directly in a constraint condition; in
combination with other responses and/or design variables in a constraint condition; as an
objective function directly; or in combination with other responses and/or design variables in
the objective function. This capability of combining responses and design variables is a unique
innovation in MSC.Nastran.
The user interface for the design sensitivity and optimization capability builds on the existing
interface for aeroelastic analysis as detailed in the this guide and on the interface for design
optimization described in the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide. The
integrated capability contains some aspects of the user interface that are unique to aeroelasticity.
Case Control
Two aeroelastic analysis types are available for the ANALYSIS command:
ANALYSIS = SAERO
ANALYSIS = FLUTTER
As the names imply, the ANALYSIS commands refer to static aeroelasticity and flutter analysis,
respectively.
Bulk Data
Three response types for the DRESP1 entry are unique to aeroelasticity: TRIM, STABDER, and
FLUTTER.
Main Index
CHAPTER 10 663
Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization
The TRIM response is used to identify an aerodynamic extra point that the user wants to study.
This is done by identifying the variable (AESURF or AESTAT ID) in the ATTA field of the
DRESP1 entry.
The STABDER response is used to identify a stability derivative. In addition to the aerodynamic
variable, the user must identify the component (1 through 6) and if a restrained or unrestrained
derivative is of interest.
The FLUTTER response allows the user selectively to identify damping responses that are to be
studied. Attributes that are available for the response are mode number, Mach number, density,
and velocity.
As with the input, the output is a combination of the existing aeroelastic and design optimization
output. Perhaps the most valuable output available is the sensitivity matrix. This provides a
quantitative assessment of how the responses change due to changes in the design variables [see
pages 220-223 of the MSC.Nastran Design Sensitivity and Optimization User’s Guide (Moore,
Version 68)]. The effect of design changes on aeroelastic responses is often nonintuitive, even
for the most experienced analyst. Therefore, the sensitivity matrix can provide substantial
guidance when a design change is required or contemplated.

10.2 Aeroelastic Optimization of FSW Airplane
(Example HA200A)
This example illustrates the design sensitivity features of SOLution 200 when aeroelastic
constraints are included along with stress and deflection constraints. A final Example HA200B
illustrates optimization. The Bulk Data sets are almost the same in the two examples with the
differences noted at the end of the Bulk Data description contained in this section. These
examples are based on the two-sided FSW airplane model of Example HA144E (p. 263). The
two-sided model, shown in <hypertext>Figure 10-1, is chosen since some of the design flight
conditions are asymmetric maneuvers. The optimization is intended to minimize the structural
weight of the wings and fin, as indicated in <hypertext>Figure 10-2, with constraints on tensile
and compressive stresses and wing tip twist during four subsonic and one supersonic maneuver.
Additional constraints are imposed on subsonic and supersonic rolling effectiveness and on the
flutter speed. Note that the two-sided model can flutter either symmetrically or
antisymmetrically but that the mode of flutter is not a concern with the two-sided model.
The loading conditions are different from those analyzed in Example HA144E. The five flight
conditions considered here are: (1) a subsonic pullout at m = 0.9 and n z = 6.0 Gs ; (2) a
supersonic pullout at m = 1.2 and nz = 4.0 Gs ; (3) a subsonic steady rolling pullout at m = 0.9
and n z = 4.8 Gs ; (4) a subsonic abrupt rolling pullout at m = 0.0 and n z = 4.8 Gs ; and, (5) an
entry into a snap-roll from level flight at m = 0.45 .
For the sensitivity task of this example, the goal is to see what effect the CBAR elements, which
represent the wing and fin structures, have on selected responses. In developing the design
model, the first task is the definition of the design variables. In this case, it is first necessary to
define independent design variables that have no explicit physical meaning except that the
physical properties of the CBARs are linearly related to these design variables:
A 1.500000
I1 0.173611
= x i Eq. 10-1
I2 2.000000
0.462963
J
where A , I 1 , I 2 , and J are the area, cross-section area moments of inertia, and effective torsional
moment of inertia, respectively, of the i-th CBAR element. The design variable representing the
inboard wing CBAR is x 1 and the vector of coefficients is chosen to reproduce the physical
properties in Example HA144E when x 1 = 1.0 . The same relationship is used to design the
outboard wing CBAR using a second design variable x2 , and to design the fin CBAR using a
third design variable x 3 . The design of mass balances is another possible option for flutter
prevention that is not considered in this example.
Anticipating the design optimization task of the next section (p. 692), a design objective of
weight is defined in this section even though it is not required for the sensitivity task. The
baseline input Example HA144E presents a problem since all of its mass data are input using
CONM2 entries. The current implementation of optimization in MSC.Nastran cannot treat mass
values input on the CONM2 entry as design parameters. In order to avoid this problem, the
Main Index CONM2 values for the wing and fin are reduced to half of their values in Example HA144E
CHAPTER 10 665
Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization
values, and these values, may be regarded here as nonstructural mass; the nonstructural weight
of each wing is now 1000 lbs, and the nonstructural weight of the fin is 50 lbs. The structural
mass is then calculated by means of the CBAR cross-sectional area, A above, and its density on
3
the MAT1 entry. For the wing, MAT1 2, is assigned a density of 38.49002 lbs/ft , and for the
3
fin, MAT1 3, is assigned a density of 5.773503 lbs/ft . These values of density lead to a
structural wing weight of 1000.0 lbs on each side and a structural fin weight of 50.0 lbs when the
design variables x1 = x2 = x3 = 1.0 . There is a slight aft shift of the center of gravity from its
location in Example HA144E as a consequence of this division in weight between structural and
nonstructural portions (it has moved from 2.276 ft to 2.514 ft aft of GRID 90, i.e., 2.38% of the
mean aerodynamic chord).

Figure 10-1 Aerodynamic Model of Example HA144E
The final step in the design model specification relates to constraint specifications. This example
illustrates typical preliminary design considerations: strength of the aeroelastic airframe in high
load factor maneuvers, stiffness in maneuvering for good aerodynamic performance, stiffness
for adequate roll control, and stiffness for flutter prevention. These design considerations are
each expressed as constraints. Strength is prescribed as a constraint on stresses. Stiffness in
maneuvering is prescribed as a constraint on the twist at the wing tips. Stiffness for roll control
is prescribed as a constraint on the rolling helix angle per unit aileron deflection. Finally,
stiffness for flutter prevention is prescribed by constraints on the aeroelastic system damping at
selected speeds in the flight envelope, including margins of safety on velocity.

Figure 10-2 Structural Model of HA200A and HA200B
The listing begins with an INCLUDE entry for data set FSW_TWO.DAT, which is given in
<hypertext>Listing 7-19. This is followed by those parts of the structural model that differ from
the Example HA144E (p. 263) description due to design considerations. For example, separate
PIDs are now required on the CBAR Bulk Data entry so that the associated properties can be
independently designed. The CONM2 and MAT1 entries have been modified to split the aircraft
weight into nonstructural and structural portions, as described above. Five TRIM Bulk Data
entries define the five maneuvering flight conditions that are used to design the structure, with
the remaining static aeroelastic inputs provided in the INCLUDE file.
Input for the flutter analysis is in addition to that provided in Section and is therefore input in
its entirety. A subsonic and a supersonic flutter analysis are specified with two separate
FLUTTER Bulk Data entries and their corresponding FLFACT entries. PARAM,LMODES
retains 12 modes in the flutter analysis.
Design Variables. The remainder of the input is for the design model and begins with a
definition of the design variables on the DESVAR Bulk Data entries. Design variables 10, 20, and
30 control the properties on the inboard wing, outboard wing, and fin bars, respectively. Note
that the initial fin design variable is 10 percent of the wing design variables, reflecting the
Main Index
CHAPTER 10 667
Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization
designer's insight that the fin structure will require significantly less strength than that of the
wing. The DVPREL1 entries indicate the linear relationships between the PBAR properties and
the design variables as specified in <hypertext>Eq. 10-1.
Responses and Constraints. Responses required in the automated design task are identified
using DRESP1 and DRESP2 Bulk Data entries. This example has considerable generality in that
it contains DRESP1 entries for WEIGHT, STRESS, DISPlacement, STABDER (stability
derivatives), and FLUTTER responses that are either constrained directly (i.e., specified to be
within limiting values), used in specifying the design objective (in this case it is to minimize the
weight), or included in synthetic responses. The STRESS responses invoke the minimum and
maximum stresses at end A (the end at the grid point mentioned first on the CBAR entry) of the
bars that model the wing structure. DCONSTR entries then constrain these stresses to fall
6
between – 57.6 and 72.0 × 10 psf .
The ability to limit the structural deformations is demonstrated in this example by first
identifying rotational displacements at the two wing tips and at the vehicle centerline. The
difference between the tip and root displacement is a measure of the aeroelastic deformation,
and the difference is effected using a DRESP2 entry that identifies the associated responses and
a DEQATN entry that provides that equation the takes the difference. DCONSTR entries are
used to limit the response to +1.0 degrees subsonically and +0.5 degrees supersonically.
DCONADD entries adds these displacement constraints (plus a roll effectiveness constraint
described next) to the already defined stress constraints. DCONADD 1 refers to the subsonic
subcase while DCONADD 2 refers to the supersonic subcase.
The roll performance specification frequently determines the stiffness of an aircraft wing. This
requirement is demonstrated in this example by selecting two stability responses,
C l and C l ,
p δa
on DRESP1 entries and then defining an equation using the DRESP2 and DEQATN entries to
specify a roll performance criterion
Cl
pb δa
------------- = – ----------- ≥ REQUIREMENT
2Vδ a Cl
p
DCONSTR entries are used to provide a lower limit of 0.60 for this criterion subsonically and
0.43 supersonically.
Flutter Responses. Two sets of DRESP1 entries include subsonic and supersonic flutter
responses in the design task. DRESP1 1 selects modal damping responses at the analysis density
and Mach number, but only at three critical velocities: 1000.0, 1300.0 and 1500.0 ft/sec. These
responses must all be available from the analysis. A SET1 entry invoked by the DRESP1 entry
restricts the responses to the fourth through the seventh modes since the first three modes
represent rigid body behavior that should not impact the structural design. DRESP1 11 performs
the same function for the supersonic flutter analysis. DRESP2 entries convert the damping value
to a new response of the form
Main Index
668
γ = ( γ – 0.03 ) ⁄ 0.1
This form offsets the response from zero and scales it (see “<hypertext>Aeroelastic Modeling in
MSC.Nastran” on page 93) so that the constraint imposed on the DCONSTR entry specifies that
this response should be less than -0.3, which is equivalent to saying that the damping should be
negative.
Optimization Parameters. The input file concludes with several entries that define parameters
for the optimization and sensitivity task. The DOPTPRM entry is used primarily in optimization
and in this case limits the number of design cycles to 25, requests a comprehensive printout of
design details following each design cycle, and overrides the default finite difference step size
DELB to give greater numerical accuracy when computing sensitivity values.
PARAM,CDIF,YES invokes the more accurate central differencing technique for this example.
PARAM,NASPRT,2 requests standard MSC.Nastran output after every other design cycle. Even
for this small model, this request results in extensive output so PARAM,NASPRT,2 must be
used with caution. PARAM,OPTEXIT,4 specifies that sensitivity results for the baseline design
are to be printed without proceeding on to the optimization phase. Two DSCREEN entries
complete the Bulk Data input and, for this example, force the retention of all the constraints and
therefore produce the sensitivities of all DRESP1 and DRESP2 responses. The DSCREEN,
PARAM,OPEXIT and PARAM,CDIF entries are removed for the optimization example of the
next section, and DELB is returned to its default value.
Case Control Commands. The Case Control Section begins with the TITLE and SUBTITLE
commands. The ECHO = BOTH command echoes the input Bulk Data, including the
"INCLUDEd" files in unsorted and sorted formats. A single boundary condition is used for all
the analyses and is selected by the SPC = 1 command. The DESOBJ = 10 request invokes the
Bulk Data DRESP1 entry with ID = 10 as the objective. This is the WEIGHT response. Request
for output of all the DISPlacments, STRESSes, element FORCEs, AEROdynamic Forces, and
Aerodynamic PRESsures is made above the subcase level, which means that the requests apply
to all the subcases until they are cancelled in subcases 6 and 7. Seven subcases follow, with each
subcase defined by a unique LABEL. The first five subcases are static aeroelastic trim analyses
for differing maneuvering conditions. The ANALYSIS = SAERO command is required in these
subcases to identify which of the multidisciplinary analyses applies for the subcase. The TRIM
command selects a TRIM Bulk Data entry that specifies the maneuver. For the first subcase, the
DESSUB = 1 command invokes the DCONADD Bulk Data entry with DCID = 1 which, in turn,
invokes limits on the element stresses, the aeroelastic deformation, and the roll performance for
the subsonic flight condition. The second subcase invokes a similar set of constraints for the
supersonic flight condition. The remaining three static aeroelastic subcases only constrain the
stress responses.
The final two subcases involve the flutter design tasks, as indicated by the
ANALYSIS = FLUTTER commands. The sixth subcase, and the first flutter subcase, includes a
DISP = 10 request along with PARAM,OPPHIPA set to 1 so as to obtain normal mode
displacements at the grid points. SET 10 is used to limit to the displacement output to the
aerodynamic box centers and not the box corners. The remaining output requests are set to
NONE to avoid output of these data for eigenvectors. The METHOD and FMETHOD entries are
familiar from “<hypertext>Flutter Analysis Sample Problems” on page 339 and invoke the
Main Index
CHAPTER 10 669
Aeroelastic Design Sensitivities and Optimization
normal modes and flutter analysis, respectively. The DESSUB = 6 command invokes a
DCONSTR entry that places limits on the subsonic flutter responses. The DESSUB = 7 command
of the final subcase performs the same function for the supersonic flutter analysis.
The Executive Control Section begins with the identification ID MSC, HA200A, which denotes
the problem in the Test Problem Library. TIME 30 limits the CPU time to 30 minutes, and SOL
200 invokes the design sensitivity and optimization solution sequence.
Output. The input data and the sorted Bulk Data entries are shown in <hypertext>Listing 10-1
and <hypertext>Listing 10-2. Selected output is in <hypertext>Listing 10-3 and only includes
those aspects of the output that are unique to design sensitivity since the lengthy remaining
output has been covered by the examples in “<hypertext>Static Aeroelastic Analysis Sample
Problems” on page 179 and “<hypertext>Flutter Analysis Sample Problems” on page 339. An
exception to this is that the subsonic flutter results are shown to assist in the discussion of the
flutter sensitivity results. The first table shown in <hypertext>Listing 10-3 contains information
on the properties that are being designed. In the table, the "ANALYSIS VALUE" refers to the
values of the properties as they are input on the property entries (PBAR in this example) while
the "DESIGN MODEL" refers to the values of the properties developed from the design model
input on the DESVAR and DVPREL1 entries. These two values can differ, and the user is
warned if they do. In this example, the properties on the fin for the design model are a tenth of
the analysis properties. This was the user's intent so the warning can be ignored. Limits on the
property values are also displayed in this table.
The flutter summary for the subsonic flutter analysis is shown next. It is seen that flutter occurs
for point 6 between 1300.0 and 1400.0 ft/sec.
The Design Sensitivity Information. MSC.Nastran produces a sensitivity matrix with rows
that correspond to the design variables and the columns correspond to the responses. The next
series of tables in <hypertext>Listing 10-3 identifies the columns of this matrix by listing
attributes of the particular response. For example, the first response is the weight while the next
three are the displacements identified on DRESP1 entries for the first subcase. This identification
continues though all 115 columns of design sensitivity matrix.
The Design Sensitivity Matrix. The design sensitivity matrix (MATRIX DSCM2) is then listed.
Using the first column as an example, it shows that the sensitivity of the weight with respect to
the three design variables is 666.68, 13333.30 and 49.9983, respectively. While this particular
sensitivity is predictable and could be calculated by hand, it can be seen that other sensitivity
values are not available without a computer analysis. For example, column 70 is the sensitivity
of the sixth flutter mode at a velocity of 1500.0 ft/sec and a Mach number of 0.9. From the Flutter
Summary, it is seen that the flutter damping at this point is positive ( g = 0.4382 ). The
sensitivities of this response with respect to the three design variables are -0.5986, -0.2431 and -
0.0510, respectively. This provides the analyst/designer with useful information on the
tradeoffs required to improve the flutter performance of the vehicle. In this particular case, it is
seen that increasing the first design variable is the most cost effective strategy, i.e., achieves the
most increase in flutter damping for a unit change in weight.

Design Variable Identification. The final information in <hypertext>Listing 10-3 is the design
cycle history and the design variable history. This information is most useful in an optimization
task, but it also is useful for the sensitivity analysis since it identifies the design variable labels
and values and therefore allows the user to quickly interpret the physical meaning of the rows
of the design sensitivity matrix.

10.3 Aeroelastic Optimization of FSW Airplane
(Example HA200B)
This example illustrates the aeroelastic optimization features of SOLution 200 when aeroelastic
constraints are included along with stress and deflection constraints. The preceding Example
HA200A illustrates the design sensitivity calculations. The Bulk Data input files are the same in
the two examples except that the PARAM,OPTEXIT,4, PARAM,CDIF = YES, and DSCREEN
entries have been deleted, the DELB parameter has been set to its default value, and the subtitle
has been changed to reflect the optimization task.
The design flight conditions and constraints have been discussed thoroughly in
Example HA200A (p. 664). It is the sequence of iterations in the optimization process leading to
the minimum weight optimized design that is of interest here. <hypertext>Figure 10-3 and
<hypertext>Figure 10-4 present iteration history data for the design task. It is seen that the
weight objective first increases to satisfy the design requirements and then converges rapidly to
the final design. <hypertext>Figure 10-4, shows that the design requirements and objectives are
met by increasing the thickness of the inboard bar significantly; the outboard bar decreases
slightly, and the fin structure, which is relatively unimportant, increases.

Listing 10-4 shows selected output from the optimization results file. A description of design
optimization output can be found in Chapter 5 of the MSC.Nastran User’s Guide for Design
Sensitivity and Optimization (Moore, Version 68).
The abridged listing starts with a statement that the maximum constraint is 14.605. It can be
determined that this constraint is associated with a flutter damping response that is equal to
0.4382, which is a very large value. The output that follows in Listing 10-2 is produced with
P2 = 15 on the DOPTPRM entry and shows the results from the first optimization design cycle.
In the series of tables included in this output, INPUT VALUE refers to exact values determined
from the analysis. OUTPUT VALUES refers to approximate values as determined by the
optimizer. In many cases, there is no approximation or the approximation is exact so that the
output values are very accurate. Other values are determined from linear approximations, and
an exact analysis could produce a significantly different value. The flutter damping response is
a good example where a linear prediction can be expected to become less accurate as the design
moves away from the starting point.
The results indicate that the weight increased from 2000.5 lbs to 3527.9 lbs for the first design
cycle and that the design variables also increased significantly. The DESIGNED PROPERTIES
output shows how the design variable changes affect the underlying structural properties. The
DESIGN CONSTRAINTS ON RESPONSES is useful in that it gives some insight into which
responses are driving the design. Because the DESIGN CONSTRAINT ON RESPONSES table
lists responses by internal ID, it is necessary to refer to a second table to identify which responses
are impacting the design. In this case, all the constrained responses are synthetic since EQUA is
the RESPONSE TYPE for all of the constraints. This indicates that the constraints imposed by
the stress limits have been screened out for this design cycle. The table on CONSTRAINTS ON
DESIGNED PROPERTIES follows and indicates that in the process of reducing the constraint
violation on the responses, certain property limits were exceeded. No problem occurred in this
Main Index
694
case, but too severe a property constraint violation could result in a meaningless structure (e.g.,
one with negative bar areas). If this does occur, the user could restart the design from a better
starting point or tighten the property move limits so that the properties are less likely to become
meaningless.
The output next contains a series of tables that list the response values ordered by subcase. The
response with an internal ID of 10 is the flutter damping value with the large violation of the
design requirement. The DRESP2 responses indicate that the roll performance of the initial
design is slightly deficient and predict that the designed structure will be adequate in this
regard.
Convergence Check. Following the design information is a convergence check summary that
always appears following an optimization cycle. The table is SOFT CONVERGENCE
DECISION LOGIC, and soft convergence refers to a check of the results following an
approximate optimization but before a re-analysis has been performed. In this case, it is seen
that the convergence criteria all fail in that the objective, property values, and constraints all
indicate that further progress is required.
Final Design Results. The output shown in Listing 10-4 now skips ahead to the results from
the seventh and final design cycle. The results tables show identical input and output values,
indicating that the optimizer made no progress for this design cycle and implying that an
optimal design has been achieved. The DESIGNED CONSTRAINTS table shows that the
maximum constraint value is -0.00263, which indicates that the design is feasible (i.e., the design
satisfies the design constraint conditions). The RETAINED DRESP2 RESPONSES table indicates
that the roll response requirements are being satisfied almost exactly and that one of the flutter
constraints is also at the prescribed limit.
The soft convergence check indicates that the design objective and properties have not changed
and the maximum constraint is below the prescribed threshold so that all the convergence
criteria are satisfied. A final analysis then occurs and the subsonic flutter summary is shown in
the listing. Attention is directed to POINT 6 in the summary where it is seen that the flutter curve
crosses the zero damping boundary right at 1500.0 ft/sec. <hypertext>Figure 10-5 compares the
V-g curves of the initial and final designs, indicating the subsonic flutter velocity has been
increased from 1360.0 to 1500.0 ft/sec.
Design Histories. <hypertext>Listing 10-4 is concluded with two tables that present the
design cycle histories depicted in <hypertext>Figure 10-3 and <hypertext>Figure 10-4. The first
table shows the objective function and the maximum constraint value for each of the design
cycles. It is seen that the objective increases from 2005.0 to 2601.8 pounds while the maximum
constraint decreases from a value of 14.605 to an essentially zero value. The second table
presents a history of the design variables and shows that the weight increase can be attributed
to more than doubling the structural properties of the inboard bar while making less significant
changes in the remaining design variables.

1.3 Bibliography of Aeroelasticity and Unsteady
Aerodynamics
The available literature on the structural, dynamic, and aerodynamic aspects of aeroelasticity is
extensive, and it is assumed that the user has some familiarity with these topics. The literature
dedicated exclusively to aeroelasticity is also extensive. However, the following list of textbook
references on aeroelasticity and unsteady aerodynamics can be recommended to the user for
guidance on the fundamentals of aerodynamic/structural interaction. Two optimization
references are also cited to provide an introduction to the wide range of literature in this field.

a. If not specified, then the METHOD selection of the structure will be used for the
fluid and modal reduction will not be performed on the fluid portion of the model
in the dynamic solution sequences.
b. The METHOD(FLUID) and METHOD(STRUCTURE) may be specified
simultaneously in the same subcase for the residual structure only. Do not specify
METHOD(FLUID) in a superelement subcase even if the superelement contains
fluid elements.
c. The auto-omit feature (see the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual, Section 9.5.2) is not
recommended. Therefore, only those methods of eigenvalue extraction that can
process a singular mass matrix should be used; e.g., EIGRL entry or MGIV and
MHOU on the EIGR entry.

(Integer > 0)
Remarks:
1. In frequency response analysis, changes in SDAMPING commands between subcases
must be accompanied by a new FREQUENCY command. (The new FREQi entry may
be a duplicate of the previous entry except that the SID must be different.)
2. In coupled fluid-structure analysis (described in the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual,
Chapter 15), this command is applied only to the structural portion of the model.

requests.
2. Frequencies for which output will be printed in frequency response problems or times
for transient response, using the OFREQ and OTIME commands, respectively.
3. Surface or volume identification numbers to be used in GPSTRESS or STRFIELD
commands.
Formats:
SET n = { i 1 [ , i 2 , i 3 , THRU i 4 , EXCEPT i 5 , i 6 , i 7 , i 8 , THRU i 9 ] }
SET n = { r 1 [ , r 2 , r 3 , r 4 , ] }
SET n = ALL

CHAPTER 735
Remarks:
1. A SET command may be more than one physical command. A comma at the end of a
physical command signifies a continuation command. Commas may not end a set.
THRU may not be used for continuation. Place a number after the THRU.
2. Set identification numbers following EXCEPT within the range of the THRU must be
in ascending order.
3. In SET 88 above, the numbers 77, 78, etc., are included in the set because they are
outside the prior THRU range.

DMAP alter that includes the DMIIN module and additional statements to merge into
the appropriate matrices. Or, using AEPARM and the AEDW, AEPRESS, and/or
AEFORCE, you can accomplish this purpose without the need for any alters.

pressure. (Integer > 0, Default=no limit)
Main Index
CHAPTER 751
Remarks:
1. The ID on AESURF, AESTAT, and AEPARM entries are ignored. AESURFS can be used
to define mass properties of the control surface.
2. The degrees-of-freedom defined on this entry represent a rigid body rotation of the
control surface components about their hinge lines. In the default LDW (Linear
DownWash) case, the downwash due to a unit perturbation of the controll surface will
be computed as part of the database. In the NOLDW case, the user must prescribe the
controller’s effects by direct definition of the induced forces using the AEPRESS,
AEDW and/or AEFORCE entries.
3. Either one or two control surface components may be defined.
4. If EFF is specified, then the forces produced by this surface are modified by EFF (e.g.,
to achieve a 40% reduction, specify EFF=0.60).
5. The continuation is not required.
6. The CREFC and CREFS values are only used in computing the nondimensional hinge
moment coefficients.
7. Position limits may be specified using either PiLIM or TQiLIM, but not both.
8. Position and hinge moment limits are not required.

Main Index
CHAPTER 753
Remarks:
1. The boxes and corner point nodes are numbered sequentially, beginning with EID. The
user should be careful to ensure that all box and corner point node numbers are unique.
There can be overlapping ID’s between the structural and aerodynamic model, but
MSC.Patran will not then be able to display any results. Also, non-unique corner ID’s
are allowed, but results cannot be visualized in MSC.Patran.
2. The number of division points is one greater than the number of boxes. Thus, if
NSPAN=3, the division points are 0.0, 0.333, 0.667, 1.000. If the user supplies division
points, the first and last points need not be 0. and 1. (in which case the corners of the
panel would not be at the reference points)
3. A triangular element is formed if X12 or X43=0.0
4. The element coordinate system is right-handed as shown in Figure 4-1.
5. The continuation is required.
6. It is recommended that NCHORD or LCHORD be chosen so that the typical box chord
length ∆x satisfies the condition ∆x < 0.08 V ⁄ f (recent studies indicate that .02 V ⁄ f
is needed to get converged stability derivates) where V is the minimum velocity and f,
in hertz, is the maximum frequency to be analyzed (see the MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic
Analysis User’s Guide).

Remarks:
1. Point 1 is the leading point of the body.
2. All CAERO1 (panels) and CAERO2 (bodies) in the same group (IGID) will have
aerodynamic interaction.
3. At least one interference element is required for the aerodynamic body specified by this
entry.
Main Index
CHAPTER 755
4. The beams and connection points are numbered sequentially beginning with EID. The
user should be careful to ensure that all aero elements and connection point ID’s are
unique. Overlapping ID’s between structure and aerodynamic models are allowed, but
will prevent results visualization in MSC.Patran.
Old rules regarding numbering among Z, ZY, Y bodies and CAERO1 no longer apply:
arbitrary ordering is allowed.
5. At least two slender body elements are required for each aerodynamic body.
6. Interference elements are only intended for use with panels.
7. Determining the size of the j-set (i.e., the number of aerodynamic elements) is essential
to input D1JE and D2JE matrices. Use the following expressions for locating the proper
row in the two matrices:
J=Number of boxes = + Number of I-elements, z
= + 2*(Number of I-elements, zy)
= + Number of I-elements, y
= + Number of S-elements, z
= + 2*(Number of S-elements, zy)
= + Number of S-elements, y
where I-elements denote interference and S-elements denote slender body.

1. EID must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers.
2. The (x,y) pairs on LISTW, LISTC1 and LISTC2 AEFACT entries are in the aero element
coordinate system (see Figure 4-2). The (x,y) pairs define a set of aerodynamic grid
points that are independent of Mach number and are selected by the user to be
representative of the planform and motions of interest. The (x,y) pairs must be
sufficient in number and distribution such that: the surface spline provides an accurate
interpolation between them and the Mach Box centers that are variously located on the
planform as a function of Mach number (a complete description of the Mach Box
Method is given in the MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis User’s Guide).

LISTC1, and finally for LISTC2. On SPLINEi entries, the box numbers (BOX1 and BOX2
on SPLINE1, ID1 and ID2 on SPLINE2, and UKID on SPLINE3) refer to the (x,y) pair
sequence number appropriate for the surface (primary, or first or second control) being
splined.
4. If cranks and/or control surfaces exist, their locations are given on the PAERO3 entry.

PID Property identification number of a PAERO4 entry. (Integer > 0)
CP Coordinate system for locating points 1 and 4. (Integer > 0; Default = 0)
NSPAN Number of strips; if a positive value is given, NSPAN equal strips are assumed. If
zero or blank, LSPAN must be specified. (Integer > 0)

Remarks:
1. The strips are numbered sequentially, beginning with EID. The user must ensure that
all strip numbers are unique and greater than structural grid, scalar, and extra point
IDs.
2. The number of division points is one greater than the number of boxes. Thus, if
NSPAN = 3, the division points are 0.0, 0.333, 0.667, and 1.000. If the user supplies
division points, the first and last points need not be 0.0 and 1.0 (in which case the
corners of the panel would not be at the reference points).
3. A triangular element is formed if X12 or X43 = 0.

DAREA Dynamic Load Scale Factor
Defines scale (area) factors for static and dynamic loads. In dynamic analysis, DAREA is used in
conjunction with RLOADi and TLOADi entries.

DAREA SID P1 C1 A1 P2 C2 A2
Example:
DAREA 3 6 2 8.2 15 1 10.1
Field Contents
SID Identification number. (Integer > 0)
Pi Grid, extra, or scalar point identification number. (Integer > 0)
Ci Component number. (Integer 1 through 6 for grid point; blank or 0 for extra or
scalar point.)
Ai Scale (area) factor. (Real)
Remarks:
1. One or two scale factors may be defined on a single entry.
2. Refer to RLOAD1, RLOAD2, TLOAD1, TLOAD2, or ACSRCE entries for the formulas
that define the scale factor Ai in dynamic analysis.
3. Component numbers refer to the displacement coordinate system.
4. In dynamic analysis, DAREA entries may be used with LSEQ Bulk Data entries if
LOADSET is specified in Case Control. The LSEQ and static load entries will be used
to internally generate DAREA entries.
5. If DAREA is referenced by a GUST entry, Pi must be defined. However, it is only used
if selected through a DLOAD Case Control command. WG from the GUST entry is used
instead of Ai when requested via a GUST entry.
6. All DAREA entries corresponding to all grid and scalar points are automatically
converted internally by the program to equivalent FORCE/MOMENT/SLOAD entries
(as appropriate) if there are no LSEQ Bulk Data entries. The DAREA entries can only be
used in static analysis if there are no LSEQ Bulk Data entries.
7. In superelement analysis, DAREA may be used to specify loads not only on the interior
points of the residual, but also on the interior points of upstream superelements if there
are no LSEQ Bulk Data entries.

DCONSTR Design Constraints

Format:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
DCONSTR DCID RID LALLOW UALLOW LOWFQ HIGHFQ
Example:
DCONSTR 10 4 1.25
Field Contents
DCID Design constraint set identification number. (Integer > 0)
RID DRESPi entry identification number. (Integer > 0)
LALLOW Lower bound on the response quantity. (Real, Default = -1.0E20)
UALLOW Upper bound on the response quantity. (Real, Default = 1.0E20)
LOWFQ Low end of frequency range in Hertz (Real > 0.0, Default = 0.0) See Remark 8.
HIGHFQ High end of frequency range in Hertz (Real > LOWFQ, Default = 1.0E+20). See
Remark 8.
Remarks:
1. The DCONSTR entry may be selected in the Case Control Section by the DESSUB or
DESGLB command.
2. DCID may be referenced by the DCONADD Bulk Data entry.
3. For a given DCID, the associated RID can be referenced only once.
4. The units of LALLOW and UALLOW must be consistent with the referenced response
defined on the DRESPi entry. If RID refers to an “EIGN” response, then the imposed
bounds must be expressed in units of eigenvalue, (radian/time)2. If RID refers to a
“FREQ” response, then the imposed bounds must be expressed in cycles/time.
5. LALLOW and UALLOW are unrelated to the stress limits specified on the MATi entry.
6. Constraints are computed as follows:
LALLOW – r
g = ------------------------------------ for lower bound constraints
GNORM
r – UALLOW
g = ------------------------------------- for upper bound constraints
GNORM
Main Index
CHAPTER 765
LALLOW for lower bounds if LALLOW > GSCAL
GNORM = UALLOW for upper bounds if UALLOW > GSCAL
GSCAL otherwise
GSCAL is specified on the DOPTPRM entry (Default = 0.001)
7. As Remark 6. indicates, small values of UALLOW and LALLOW require special
processing and should be avoided. Bounds of exactly zero are particularly
troublesome. This can be avoided by using a DRESP2 entry that offsets the constrained
response from zero.
8. LOWFQ and HIGHFQ fields are functional only for RTYPE with ‘FR’ prefix, e.g.,
FRDISP. The bounds provided in LALLOW and UALLOW are applicable to a response
only when the value of forcing frequency of the response falls between the LOWFQ and
HIGHFQ. If the ATTB field of the DRESP1 entry is not blank, LOWFQ and HIGHFQ
are ignored.

or scalar point.)
Ti Time delay τ for designated point Pi and component Ci. (Real)
Remarks:
1. One or two dynamic load time delays may be defined on a single entry.
2. SID must also be specified on a RLOAD1, RLOAD2, TLOAD1, TLOAD2, or ACSRCE
entry. See those entry descriptions for the formulas that define the manner in which the
time delay τ is used.
3. A DAREA and/or LSEQ entry should be used to define a load at Pi and Ci.
4. In superelement analysis, DELAY entries may only be applied to loads on points in the
residual structure.

2. The NROOT lowest divergence dynamic pressures are printed. If there are fewer than
NROOT pressures, all available dynamic pressures are printed.
3. Mi values must be distinct.

Remarks:
1. Dynamic load sets must be selected in the Case Control Section with DLOAD = SID.
2. The load vector being defined by this entry is given by
{ P } = S ∑ Si { P i }
i
3. Each Li must be unique from any other Li on the same entry.
4. SID must be unique from all TLOADi and RLOADi entries.
5. Nonlinear transient load sets (NOLINi entries) may not be specified on DLOAD
entries. NOLINi entries are selected separately in the Case Control Section by the
NONLINEAR command.
6. A DLOAD entry may not reference a set identification number defined by another
DLOAD entry.
7. TLOAD1 and TLOAD2 loads may be combined only through the use of the DLOAD

Remarks:
1. Stress, strain, and force item codes can be found in “Item Codes” on page 1597. For
stress or strain item codes that have dual meanings, such as von Mises or maximum
shear, the option specified in the Case Control Section will be used; i.e.,
STRESS(VONM) or STRESS(MAXS).
2. RTYPE = "CSTRESS", "CSTRAIN", and "CFAILURE" are used only with the PCOMP
entry. "CSTRESS" and "CSTRAIN" item codes are described under Table 1 (Element
Stress/Strain Item Codes) in “Item Codes” on page 1597. "CFAILURE" item codes are
described under Table 2 (Element Force Item Codes) in “Item Codes” on page 1597.
Only force item codes that refer to failure indices of direct stress and interlaminar shear
stress are valid.
The CFAILURE response type requires the following specifications on the applicable
entries:
• Failure theory in the FT field on PCOMP entry.
• Allowable bonding shear stress in the SB field on PCOMP entry.
• Stress limits in the ST, SC, and SS fields on all MATi entries.
3. ATTB is used only for responses of composite laminae, dynamics, complex eigenvalue,
and stability derivatives. For other responses, this field must be blank.
Main Index
774
4. All grids associated with a DRESP1 entry are considered to be in the same region for
screening purposes. Only up to NSTR displacement constraints (see DSCREEN entry)
per group per load case will be retained in the design optimization phase.
5. DRESP1 identification numbers must be unique with respect to DRESP2 identification
numbers.
6. If PTYPE = "ELEM", the ATTi correspond to element identification numbers.
7. If RTYPE = "DISP", “SPCFORCE”, “GPFORCE”, “GPFORCP”, "TDISP", "TVELO",
"TACCL" or "TSPCF", multiple component numbers (any unique combination of the
digits 1 through 6 with no embedded blanks) may be specified on a single entry.
Multiple response components may not be used on any other response types.
8. If RTYPE = "FRDISP", "FRVELO", "FRACCL", or "FRSPCF" only one component
number may be specified in the ATTA field. Numbers 1 through 6 correspond to real
(or magnitude) components and 7 through 12 imaginary (or phase) components. If
more than one component for the same grid is desired, then a separate entry is
required.
9. Real/imaginary representation is the default for complex response types.
Magnitude/phase representation must be requested by the corresponding Case
Control command; e.g., DlSP(PHASE) = ALL for FRDISP type responses.
10. REGION is used for constraint screening. The NSTR field on DSCREEN entries gives
the maximum number of constraints retained for each region per load case.
IF RTYPE = "WEIGHT", "VOLUME", "LAMA", "EIGN", "FREQ", “CEIG”, “TOTSE”,
“RMSDISP”, “RMSVELO”, “RMSACCL”, no REGION identification number should
be specified. If the region field is left blank for a grid response, one region is created for
each DRESP1 ID. If the region field is left blank for an element response, one region is
created for each property ID invoked. Usually, the default value is appropriate.
If the REGION field is not blank, all the responses on this entry as well as all responses
on other DRESP1 entries that have the same RTYPE and REGION identification
number will be grouped into the same region.
11. REGION is valid only among the same type of responses. Responses of different types
will never be grouped into the same region, even if they are assigned the same REGION
identification number by the user.
12. If RTYPE = "WEIGHT", "VOLUME", or “TOTSE” field ATTi = "ALL" implies total
weight/volume/total strain energy of all superelements except external
superelements.
13. RTYPE = "STABDER" identifies a stability derivative response. ATTB is the restraint
flag for the stability derivative. ATTB = 0 means unrestrained, and ATTB = 1 means
restrained. For example, ATTA = 4000, ATTB = 0, and ATT1 = 3 reference the
unrestrained Cz derivative for the AESTAT (or AESURF) entry ID = 4000.
14. RTYPE = "FLUTTER" identifies a set of damping responses. The set is specified by
ATTi:
ATT1 = Identification number of a SET1 entry that specifies a set of modes.
Main Index ATT2 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of densities.
CHAPTER 775
ATT3 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of Mach
numbers.
ATT4 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of velocities.
If the flutter analysis is type PKNL, it is necessary to put PKNL in the PTYPE field of
this entry.
15. For RTYPE = "FRDISP", "FRVELO", "FRACCL", "FRSPCF", "FRFORC", "FRSTRE", and
“PRES” a real value for ATTB specifies a frequency value in cycles per unit time. If a
real ATTB value is specified, then the responses are evaluated at the closest excitation
frequency. The default for ATTB is all excitation frequencies. See Remark 20. for
additional ATTB options. The OFREQ Case Control command has no affect on the
selection of the frequencies.
16. For RTYPE = "TDISP", "TVELO", "TACCL", "TSPCF", "TFORC", and "TSTRE", ATTB
specifies a time value. If ATTB is specified, then the responses are evaluated at the
closest time selected by the OTIME command. The default for ATTB is all time steps
selected by the OTIME command.
17. Intermediate station responses on CBAR elements due to PLOAD1 and/or CBARAO
entries may not be defined on the DRESP1 entry.
18. RTYPE = "EIGN" refers to normal modes response in terms of eigenvalue
(radian/time)**2 while RTYPE = "FREQ" refers to normal modes response in terms of
natural frequency or units of cycles per unit time.
19. RTYPE = "FLUTTER" identifies a set of damping responses. The set is specified by
ATTi:
ATT1 = Identification number of a SET1 entry that specifies a set of modes.
ATT2 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of densities.
ATT3 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of Mach
numbers.
ATT4 = Identification number of an FLFACT entry that specifies a list of velocities.
If the flutter analysis is type PKNL, it is necessary to put PKNL in the PTYPE field of
this entry.
20. For RTYPE = "FRDISP", "FRVELO", "FRACCL", "FRSPCF", "FRFORC", "FRSTRE", and
“PRES” a real value for ATTB specifies a frequency value in cycles per unit time. If a
real ATTB value is specified, then the responses are evaluated at the closest excitation
frequency. The default for ATTB is all excitation frequencies. See Remark 20. for
additional ATTB options. The OFREQ Case Control command has no affect on the
selection of the frequencies.
21. For RTYPE = "TDISP", "TVELO", "TACCL", "TSPCF", "TFORC", and "TSTRE", ATTB
specifies a time value. If ATTB is specified, then the responses are evaluated at the
closest time selected by the OTIME command. The default for ATTB is all time steps
selected by the OTIME command.
22. Intermediate station responses on CBAR elements due to PLOAD1 and/or CBARAO
entries may not be defined on the DRESP1 entry.
Main Index
776
23. RTYPE = "EIGN" refers to normal modes response in terms of eigenvalue
(radian/time)**2 while RTYPE = "FREQ" refers to normal modes response in terms of
natural frequency or units of cycles per unit time.
24. Element strain energy item codes can be found under Table A-5 in “Element Strain
Energy Item Codes” on page 1662 in Appendix A. Only element strain energy and
element strain energy density can be referenced on a DRESP1 entry.
25. For RTYPE=RMSDISP, RMSVELO, or RMSACCL the ATTB specifies the appropriate
RANDPS ID.
26. Input other than 1 or 7 of ATTA field, acoustic pressure component, for PRES response
type will be reset to 1 (if less than 7) or 7 (if greater than 6 and less than 13).
27. Design response weight is obtained from Grid Point Weight Generator for a reference
point GRDPNT (see parameter GRDPNT). If GRDPNT is either not defined, equal to
zero, or not a defined grid point, the reference point is taken as the origin of the basic
coordinate system. Fields ATTA and ATTB refer to the row and column numbers of the
rigid body weight matrix, which is partitioned as follows:
W x W 12 W 13 W 14 W 15 W 16
W 21 W y W 23 W 24 W 25 W 26
W 31 W 32 W z W 34 W 35 W 36
[W] =
W 41 W 42 W 43 I x W 45 W 46
W 51 W 52 W 53 W 54 I y W 56
W 61 W 62 W 63 W 64 W 65 I z
6×6
The default values of ATTA and ATTB are 3, which specifies weight in the Z direction.
Field ATT1 = “ALL” implies total weight of all superelements except external
superelements. SEIDi refers to a superelement identification number. SEIDi= “0” refers
to the residual superelement. The default of ATT1 is blank which is equivalent to
“ALL”.
28. For RTYPE = GPFORCE, the PTYPE field is used to designate the GRID ID at which the
force is defined. Output that is produced using PARAM NOELOF > 0 is not supported
for the DRESP1 entry.
29. For RTYPE = GPFORCP, the PTYPE field is blank. The grid point force is for the sume
of all elements from the GRID ID listed in ATTA to the GRID (orient ID) listed in ATTi.
This response corresponds to that produced with PARAM NOELP > 0. It is not
necessary to set PARAM NOELP > 0 to compute the GPFORCP response.

Field Contents
RTYPE Response type for which the screening criteria apply. See Remark 3. (Character)
TRS Truncation threshold. (Real; Default = -0.5)
NSTR Maximum number of constraints to be retained per region per load case. See
Remark 3. (Integer > 0; Default = 20)
Remarks:
1. Displacement and displacement derivative constraints associated with one particular
load case are grouped by the specification of DRESP1 entries. From each group, a
maximum of NSTR constraints are retained per load case.
2. Stress-strain constraints are grouped by the property; i.e., all elements belonging to the
set of PIDs specified under ATTi on a DRESPi entry are regarded as belonging to the
same region. In superelement sensitivity analysis, if the property (PID) is defined in
more than one superelement, then separate regions are defined. A particular stress
constraint specification may be applied to many elements in a region generating many
stress constraints, but only up to NSTR constraints per load case will be retained.
3. For aeroelastic responses, that is RTYPE = “TRIM”, “STABDER”, and “FLUTTER”, the
NSTR limit is applied to all DRESP1 ID’s that are the same RTYPE and have the same
REGION specified.
4. For responses that are not related to grids or elements, that is RTYPE = WEIGHT”,
“VOLUME”, “EIGN”, “FREQ”, “LAMA”, CEIG”, and TOTSE”, NSTR is not used. TRS
is still applicable.
5. If a certain type of constraint exists but no corresponding DSCREEN entry is specified,
all the screening criteria used for this type of constraint will be furnished by the default
values.
6. Constraints can be retained only if they are greater than TRS. See the Remarks under
the “DCONSTR” on page 764 entry for a definition of constraint value.
7. Constraint screening is applied to each superelement.

512 Force QZ method
65536 Use semi-algebraic sort on imaginary part of roots (pre-V70.6 sort)
The word “force” above implies that the method selected by the system cell will be
used even when another method has been selected on an EIGC entry. Sums of these
values will produce two or more actions at once, when feasible. As the numbers get
larger, the function is more developer-oriented than user-oriented.
2. When using METHOD = "HESS", the following should be noted:
The "HESS" method is generally more reliable and economical for small and moderate-
size problems. It computes all eigenvalues and ND eigenvectors.
3. The EIGC entry may or may not require continuations as noted below.
• For the "HESS" method, continuations are not required; and their contents are
ignored when present, except for ND1. However, it is recommended that
continuations are not used.
• For the "CLAN" method when the continuation entry is not used a shift is
calculated automatically. When a shift is input on the first continuation entry it
is used as the initial shift. Only one shift is used. Data on other continuation
entries is ignored.
• For METHOD = "INV", each continuation defines a rectangular search region.
Any number of regions may be used and they may overlap. Roots in
overlapping regions will not be extracted more than once.
• For all methods, if no continuation is present, then ND0 must be specified on the
first entry. If a continuation is present, then NDj must be specified on the
continuation and not on the first entry.
4. The units of ALPHAAJ, OMEGAAJ, ALPHABJ, and OMEGABJ are radians per unit
time.
5. See The NASTRAN Theoretical Manual, Sections 10.4.4.5 and 10.4.4.6, for a discussion of
convergence criteria and the search procedure with the INV method.
6. DIAG 12 prints diagnostics for the inverse power method, the complex Lanczos
method and the QZ HESS method.
7. If METHOD = "HESS" and the LR or QR methods (non-default methods) are selected
by system cell 108 the mass matrix must be nonsingular. The default QA method does
not require a nonsingular mass matrix.
Main Index
782
8. The normalized eigenvectors may be output with the SDISPLACEMENT and/or
DISPLACEMENT Case Control commands.
9. When using METHOD = CLAN, the following should be noted. The modern CLAN
method (default for METHOD entry of CLAN) has been enhanced to include a block
complex Lanczos approach. This method is more reliable and will not accept inaccurate
roots which the old method had a tendency to do. Thus, given the same input, the new
method may often accept fewer roots. For continuity the old method has been
maintained and may be selected by setting SYSTEM(108).
10. The SVD method is provided for DMAP applications. If used in solution 107 or 110, and
mass or damping terms are present, a user fatal exit is taken. See the MSC Web site for
the Flight Loads Product examples on the use of the SVD method. The SVD operation
decomposes the input stiffness matrix K into the factors U, S, and V. U and V are
collections of vectors of orthogonal functions. S is a rectangular matrix with terms on
the diagonal of its left partition. The factors satisfy the equation K = U*S*V’, where “ ’
” implies complex conjugate transpose. The ND1 value has a meaning for the SVD
functions which differs from eigensolution.
ND1 OUTPUT
>0 All vectors of U and V are output.
=0 U and V are returned in a purged state.
<0 S is returned as a square matrix whose number of columns is equal to the
minimum number of rows or columns of the input matrix. U and V are
truncated to be commensurate with S. This is a method to reduce the costs of
solving very rectangular input matrices by providing a partial solution for
the most interesting vectors.
11. For DMAP applications there are input parameters, not present in the solution
sequences, that may be used to replace the function of the EIGC and CMETHOD
entries. See the MSC.Software Web site for details.
12. The MBLKSZ and IBKLSZ parameters are integers in concept, but must be input at real
numbers (that is, with a decimal point.) They represent maximum sizes, and may be
reduced internally for small size problems.

Remarks:
1. The EIGR entry must be selected with the Case Control command METHOD = SID.
2. See “Real Eigenvalue Analysis” on page 35 of the MSC.Nastran Basic Dynamic Analysis
User’s Guide for a discussion of method selection.
3. The units of F1 and F2 are cycles per unit time.
4. The continuation entry is optional. If the continuation entry is not specified, then mass
normalization is performed.
5. The contemporary methods are LAN and AHOU. The other methods are in a
maintenance-only status, with no enhancements planned for them. They may be
eliminated in a future release of MSC.Nastran.
6. The LAN method is the most general-purpose method, and may be used on both small-
and large-size problems. It takes advantage of sparsity of input matrices, leading to
greater efficiency on large-size problems. Because Lanczos performance is tuned for
Main Index
medium to large problems, this has caused difficulties with very small problems. Thus,
CHAPTER 785
by default, on problems with fewer than 20 degrees-of-freedom when the LAN method
is selected, the method is switched to AHOU. The criteria for automatic switching is
controlled by SYSTEM(359) on the NASTRAN entry. The NE, G, and C fields are
ignored for the LAN method. The NORM field may be set to MASS (the default value)
or NORM. The conventions used when both the Fi and ND fields are specified are
described in Table 1 of the EIGRL entry description. The EIGRL entry is an alternate
method to select the LAN method. It has several other input options for special cases.
When both and EIGRL and EIGR have the same SID and that SID is selected by a
METHOD command the EIGRL entry takes precedence.
7. The AHOU method is competitive with the LAN method when there are small, dense
matrices and many eigenvectors are required. This most commonly occurs when static
or dynamic reduction is performed. The AHOU method does not take advantage of
matrix sparsity, so that computation cost rises with the cube of the number of DOFs.
The AHOU method responds to all permitted values for all the other fields except NE,
which is ignored.
8. All methods require a positive semi-definite (psd) mass matrix for stable solutions. The
mass matrix may be tested for this condition for all methods of solution by setting
SYSTEM(303). A value of “-4” should be sufficient to identify problem matrices. A fatal
error exit is taken when it is not met. All MSC.Nastran metric elements are designed to
produce psd mass matrices. CMASSi elements, DMIG matrices selected by the M2GG
command, and matrices input via INPUTT4 are special methods that allow addition of
non-psd terms by use of non-metric element input. If none of this type of special input
is present and the fatal error exit is taken you may have encountered an error in a
metric element. Contact your local MSC technical representative for corrective action
in this case.
9. The LAN and AHOU methods allow singular but positive semi-definite mass matrices.
10. The tridiagonal methods include the xGIV and xHOU methods, where “x” is described
in the following comments. All tridiagonal methods compute all eigenvalues, and the
number of eigenvectors specified by the Fi and Nd fields, as described in Table 13.
11. If “x” is blank (for example, the HOU method is selected) the mass matrix must be non-
singular.
12. If “x” is M (for example, the MHOU method is selected) the mass matrix may be
singular. A modified, shifted problem is solved in an inverse basis with this method.
Some precision in the solution and longer computation time is exchanged for a more
stable solution.
13. If “x” is A (for example, the AHOU method is selected) an attempt is made to solve the
problem without shifting, in the interest of cost reduction and maximum precision. If
the mass matrix is determined to be poorly conditioned for inversion the basis is
automatically shifted with the modified method.
14. If NORM = “MAX”, components that are not in the analysis set may have values larger
than unity.
Main Index
786
15. If NORM = “POINT”, the selected component should be in the analysis set (a-set). (The
program uses NORM = “MAX” when it is not in the analysis set.) The displacement
value at the selected component will be positive or negative unity.
16. The “SINV” method is an enhanced version of the “INV” method. It uses Sturm
sequence number techniques to make it more likely that all roots in the range have been
found. It is generally more reliable and more efficient than the “INV” method.
–6
17. For the “INV” and “SINV” methods, convergence is achieved at 10 . Convergence is
tested by other criteria for the other methods.
18. For the “SINV” method only, if F2 is blank, the first shift will be made at F1, and only
one eigensolution above F1 will be calculated. If there are no modes below F1, it is likely
that the first mode will be calculated. If there are modes below F1 (including rigid body
modes defined by SUPORT entries), a mode higher than the first mode above F1 may
be calculated.
19. When F1, F2, and ND are all zero or blank, ND is reset to 1. A User Warning Message
is produced for this condition, which is interpreted as likely to be due to an inadvertent
omission by the user.

option_i= Assigns a value to the fields above except for SID. ALPH, NUMS, and Fi must be
value_i specified in this format. V1, V2, ND, MSGLVL, MAXSET, SHFSCL, and NORM
may be specified in this format as long as their corresponding field is blank in the
parent entry.
Remarks:
1. Real eigenvalue extraction data sets must be selected with the Case Control command
METHOD = SID.
2. The units of V1 and V2 are cycles per unit time in vibration analysis, and are
eigenvalues in buckling analysis. Each eigenvalue is the factor by which the
prebuckling state of stress is multiplied to produce buckling in the shape defined by the
corresponding eigenvector.
3. NORM = “MASS” is ignored in buckling analysis and NORM = “MAX” will be
applied.
4. The roots are found in order of increasing magnitude; that is, those closest to zero are
found first. The number and type of roots to be found can be determined from Table 4-
5.
V1 V2 ND Number and Type of Roots Found
V1 V2 ND Lowest ND or all in range, whichever is smaller.
V1 V2 blank All in range
V1 blank ND Lowest ND in range [V1,+∞]
V1 blank blank Lowest root in range [V1,+∞]
blank blank ND Lowest ND roots in [-∞,+∞]
blank blank blank Lowest root. See Remark 11.
blank V2 ND Lowest ND roots below V2
blank V2 blank All below V2
5. In vibration analysis, if V1 < 0.0, the negative eigenvalue range will be searched.
(Eigenvalues are proportional to Vi squared; therefore, the negative sign would be
lost.) This is a means for diagnosing improbable models. In buckling analysis, negative
V1 and/or V2 require no special logic.
6. Eigenvalues are sorted on order of magnitude for output. An eigenvector is found for
each eigenvalue.
Main Index
CHAPTER 789
7. MSGLVL controls the amount of diagnostic output during the eigenvalue extraction
process. The default value of zero suppresses all diagnostic output. A value of one
prints eigenvalues accepted at each shift. Higher values result in increasing levels of
diagnostic output.
8. MAXSET is used to limit the maximum block size. It is otherwise set by the region size
or by ND with a maximum size of 15. It may also be reset if there is insufficient memory
available. The default value is recommended.
9. In vibration analysis, if V1 is blank, all roots less than zero are calculated. Small
negative roots are usually computational zeroes which indicate rigid body modes.
Finite negative roots are an indication of modeling problems. If V1 is set to zero,
negative eigenvalues are not calculated.
10. A specification for SHFSCL may improve performance, especially when large mass
techniques are used in enforced motion analysis. Large mass techniques can cause a
large gap between the rigid body and flexible frequencies. If this field is blank, a value
for SHFSCL is estimated automatically.
11. On occasion, it may be necessary to compute more roots than requested to ensure that
all roots in the range have been found. However, this method will not output the
additional roots.
12. NASTRAN SYSTEM(146) provides options for I/O in sparse method only:
Table 4-3 SYSTEM(146) Options
SYSTEM(146) Description
2 Increase memory reserved for sparse method by
approximately 100%.
3 Increase memory reserved for sparse method by
approximately 300%.
4 Increase memory reserved for sparse method by
approximately 400%.
13. For the distributed parallel method, the frequency range between V1 and V2 may be
subdivided into segments that can then be analyzed in parallel. V1 and V2 must be
specified for the parallel method. NUMS must be specified greater than 1 to take
advantage of the parallel method. NUMS may also be specified on the NUMSEG
keyword of the NASTRAN statement. Currently, NUMSEG must equal the number of
processors and by default NUMSEG is set to the number of processors requested by the
DMP keyword. If both are specified, then NUMS takes precedence.
The upper frequencies of each segment may be generated automatically by ALPH or
specified directly in Fi. If both are specified, then Fi takes precedence over ALPH as
long as they are consistent. ALPH if multiplied by 100 may also be specified on
FRQSEQ keyword of the NASTRAN statement.
Main Index
790
14. Increasing MAXSET may improve performance for large problems where a large
number of eigenvalues are being found. The default is 7 on all machines except CRAY
which is 12. SYSTEM(263) may be set in an rcfile to effectively modify the default;
however the setting on the EIGRL entry always takes precedence.
15. SYSTEM(196), keyword SCRSAVE, controls reuse of scratch files when segment logic
is invoked. SYSTEM(196) is useful only when multiple frequency segments are
requested on a Lanczos run. (Multiple frequency segments can be requested via the
NUMS field in the EIGRL entry and by SYSTEM(197).) Each frequency segment
requires a minimum of three scratch files. When multiple frequency segments are used
on a single processor computer then each frequency segment is solved serially. In this
case, it makes sense to let segment #2 use the scratch files which were used by segment
#1 since work for segment #1 has been completed (otherwise it wouldn’t be working on
#2). Similarly, when work for segment #2 is finished, segment #3 should be able to use
#2’s scratch files. SYSTEM(196)=1 allows such file reuse and is considered a safe default
on Version 70 and later systems.
16. The new buckling shift logic in Version 70.5 tends to shift to 1.0 first. The logic may
have difficulty finding the lowest ND roots if a problem requests a small number of
roots (ND) when there are thousands of roots below 1. In this case either the loading
should be scaled, SHFSCL specified, or a smaller frequency range requested.
17. Because Lanczos performance is tuned for medium to large problems, this has caused

Field Contents
SID Set identification number. (Unique Integer > 0)
Fi Aerodynamic factor. (Real)
FNF Final aerodynamic factor. (Real)
NF Number of aerodynamic factors. (Integer > 0)
FMID Intermediate aerodynamic factors. See Remark 4. (Real)
Remarks:
1. Only the factors selected by a FLUTTER entry will be used.
2. Embedded blank fields are not allowed in the first format above.
3. The factors must be specified in the order in which they are to be used within the
looping of flutter analysis.
4. FMID must lie between F1 and FNF ; otherwise, FMID will be set to
( F1 + FNF ) ⁄ 2 . Then
F1 ( FNF – FMID ) ( NF – 1 ) + FNF ( FMID – F1 ) ( i – 1 )
Fi = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
( FNF – FMID ) ( NF – 1 ) + ( FMID – F1 ) ( i – 1 )
where i = 1, 2, ..., NF
The use of FMID (middle factor selection) allows unequal spacing of the factors.

5. If method = PK and this entry specifies velocities, then the velocities must be non-zero.
Input of negative values produces eigenvector results at a velocity equal to the positive
value of the input. Input of positive values provide eigenvalues results without
eigenvectors.

Example:
FLUTTER 19 K 119 219 319 S 5 1.-4
Field Contents
SID Set identification number. (Integer > 0)
METHOD Flutter analysis method. (Character: “K” for K-method, “PK” for PK method,
“PKNL” for PK method with no looping, “KE” for the K-method restricted for
efficiency.)
DENS Identification number of an FLFACT entry specifying density ratios to be used in
flutter analysis. (Integer > 0)
MACH Identification number of an FLFACT entry specifying Mach numbers ( m ) to be
used in flutter analysis. (Integer > 0)
RFREQ (or Identification number of an FLFACT entry specifying reduced frequencies ( k ) to
VEL) be used in flutter analysis; for the PK and PKNL method, the velocities FLFACT
entry is specified in this field. (Integer > 0)
IMETH Choice of interpolation method for aerodynamic matrix interpolation. Used in the
“K” and “KE” methods only. See Remark 6. (Character: “L” = linear, “S” = surface;
Default = “L”.)
NVALUE Number of eigenvalues beginning with the first eigenvalue for output and plots.
[Integer > 0; Default is the number of modal degrees-of-freedom (uh).]
EPS Convergence parameter for k. Used in the PK and PKNL methods only. See
–3
Remark 4. (Real > 0.0; Default = 10 )
Remarks:
1. The FLUTTER entry must be selected with the Case Control command
METHOD = SID.
2. The density is given by DENS ⋅ RHOREF , where RHOREF is the reference value
specified on the AERO entry and DENS is the density ratio specified on the FLFACT
entry.
Main Index
794
3. The reduced frequency is given by k = ( REFC ⋅ ω ⁄ 2 ⋅ V ) , where REFC is given on
the AERO entry, ω is the circular frequency, and V is the velocity. If k = 0.0 , as
specified on the FLFACT entry, then only the K-method may be specified and the
Inverse Power method of eigenvalue extraction (INV on the EIGC entry) must be used.
Aeroelastic divergence analysis is more appropriately performed using the PK-method
or PKNL method.
4. An eigenvalue is accepted in the PK and PKNL methods when:
k – k estimate < EPS for k estimate < 1.0
k – k estimate < EPS ⋅ k estimate for k estimate ≥ 1.0
5. When the PK or PKNL method is selected, physical displacements will only be
generated for the velocities on the FLFACT that are specified as negative values of the
requested velocity. Also, structural damping as specified on the GE field of MATi
entries is ignored.
6. If IMETH = “L”, a linear interpolation is performed on reduced frequencies at the Mach
numbers specified on the FLFACT entry using the MKAEROi entry Mach number that
is closest to the FLFACT entry Mach number. For IMETH = “S”, a surface interpolation
is performed across Mach numbers and reduced frequencies. For METHOD = “PK” or
“PKNL”, linear interpolation is always performed.
7. For the “K”, “KE” and “PK” methods, all combinations of the FLFACT entry are
analyzed. For the “PKNL” method, only ordered pairs are analyzed; i.e.,
( M 1, V 1 ), ( M 2, V 2 )… ( M n, V n ) . For the PKNL method, equal number of densities,
Mach numbers and velocities must be specified.
8. Only the “PK” and “PKNL” methods are supported for design sensitivity and
optimization.

subcase IDs. See “Additional Topics” on page 463 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual
for the coding procedure.
7. In superelement analysis, J and K must refer to the superelement subcases. For
example, if superelement 10 has SUBCASEs 1 and 2 and superelement 20 has
SUBCASEs 3 and 4, then a separate RANDPS entry is required for each superelement,
even though X, Y, and TID may be identical.
8. For uncoupled PSDF (no J < K entries) only one J = K entry is allowed for unique value
of J. For coupled PSDF (some J < K entries) any number of entries are allowed.

The shaded area in Figure 4-8 defines the cross section of the prism for the sample data
given above. Points exactly on the boundary may be missed; therefore, to get all the
grid points within the area of the macro element, SP1=-.01, SP2=1.01, etc. should be
used.
3. A zero value for ZMAX or ZMIN implies a value of infinity. Usually, ZMAX > 0.0 and
ZMIN < 0.0.

BOX1, BOX2 First and last box with motions that are interpolated using this spline; see
Remark 3. when using Mach Box method. (Integer > 0, BOX2 > BOX1)
SETG Refers to the SETi entry that lists the structural grid points to which the spline is
attached. (Integer > 0)
DZ Linear attachment flexibility. (Real > 0.0)
METH Method for the spline fit. IPS,TPS or FPS. See Remark 1. (Character, Default =
IPS)
USAGE Spline usage flag to determine whether this spline applies to the force
transformation, displacement transformation or both. FORCE, DISP or BOTH.
See Remark 5. (Character, Default = BOTH)
NELEM The number of FE elements along the local spline x-axis if using the FPS option.
(Integer > 0; Default = 10)
MELEM The number of FE elements along the local spline y-axis if using the FPS option.
(Integer > 0; Default = 10)
Remarks:
1. The default METHOD will result in the use of the Harder-Desmarais Infinite Plate
Spline (IPS). The other options are the Thin Plate Spline (TPS) and the Finite Plate
Spline (FPS). The continuation applies only to the FPS option and is required only if the
defaults are not adequate.
2. The interpolated points (k-set) will be defined by aero boxes. Figure 4-9 shows the cells
for which uk is interpolated if BOX1 = 115 and BOX2 = 118.

3. The attachment flexibility (units of area) is used for smoothing the interpolation. If DZ
= 0.0, the spline will pass through all deflected grid points. If DZ is much greater than
the spline area, a least squares plane fit will be applied. Intermediate values will
provide smoothing.
4. When using the Mach Box method, BOX1 and BOX2 refer to the ID number of the first
and last aerodynamic grids (x,y pairs on the AEFACT entry) which will be used for
interpolation to structural grids. BOX1 and BOX2 do not refer to Mach Boxes.
5. The USAGE field allows you to specify that the particular spline interpolant defined in
this entry is to be used for just the force transformation (FORCE) or just the
displacement transformation (DISP) or for both (BOTH).
T
Fg = [ GPkg ] { Pk } (FORCE/BOTH splines are in the transform)
Uk = [ GDkg ] { Ug } (DISP/BOTH splines are in the transform)
In general, the two transforms are done with distinct matrices. Only when ALL splines
T
are of type BOTH is the familiar transpose relationship [ GPgk ] = [ GDkg ] satisfied.
The default behavior (BOTH for all splines) is compatible with version of MSC.Nastran
prior to Version 70.5.
In general, the two transforms are done with distinct matrices. Only when ALL splines
T
are of type BOTH is the familiar transpose relationship [ GPgk ] = [ GDkg ] satisfied.
The default behavior (BOTH for all splines) is compatible with version of MSC.Nastran
prior to Version 70.5.
In general, the USAGE field can be used to apply aerodynamic forces to the structure
from aerodynamic panels that are intended NOT to move (USAGE=FORCE) or to
apply structural displacements to aerodynamic grids whose forces are not to be applied
to the structure (USAGE=DISP). The DISP option is somewhat esoteric in that you are
then suggesting that the aeroelastic effect of the surface is important while its forces are
not. (In other words, only the forces arising from tis effects on other surfaces is
important.) While there may be circumstances where this is true, it is unlikely. Take
care that you included all the FORCEs from aerodynamic panels that are important by
including them in either FORCE or BOTH spline(s). MSC.Nastran will NOT issue a
warning unless ALL forces are omitted. All displacements may be omitted without
warning (and is a means to perform "rigid aerodynamic" analyses).

ID1, ID2 First and last box or body element whose motions are interpolated using this
spline. See Remark 6. when using the Mach Box method. (Integer > 0, ID2 > ID1)
SETG Refers to an SETi entry that lists the structural grid points to which the spline is
attached. (Integer > 0)
DZ Linear attachment flexibility. (Real > 0.0)
DTOR Torsional flexibility ratio (EI/GJ). (Real > 0.0; Default = 1.0; use 1.0 for bodies.)
CID Rectangular coordinate system for which the y-axis defines the axis of the spline.
Not used for bodies, CAERO2. (Integer > 0)
DTHX, DTHY Rotational attachment flexibility. DTHX is for rotation about the spline’s x-axis
(in-plane bending rotations); however, it is not used for bodies. DTHY is for
rotation about the spline’s y-axis (torsion); however, it is used for slope of
bodies. (Real)
USAGE Spline usage flag to determine whether this spline applies to the force
transformation, displacement transformation or both. FORCE, DISP or BOTH.
See Remark 9. (Character, Default = BOTH)
Remarks:
1. The interpolated points (k-set) will be defined by aero boxes.
2. The spline axis for panels is the projection of the y-axis of coordinate system CID,
projected onto the plane of the panel. For bodies, the spline axis is parallel to the x-axis
of the aerodynamic coordinate system.
Main Index
824
3. The flexibilities DZ, DTHX, and DTHY are used for smoothing. (Zero attachment
flexibility values will imply rigid attachment (i.e., no smoothing, whereas negative
values of DTHX or DTHY will imply infinity, therefore, no attachment). See the
MSC.Nastran Aeroelastic Analysis User’s Guide for a discussion of special cases.
4. The continuation entry is required.
5. The SPLINE2 EID must be unique with respect to all SPLINEi entries.
6. When using the Mach Box method, ID1 and ID2 refer to the ID number of the first and
last aerodynamic grids (x,y pairs on the AEFACT entry) which will be used for
interpolation to the structural grids. ID1 and ID2 do not refer to Mach Boxes.
7. DTOR is the ratio of rotational to linear deflection and, in lieu of a more accurate
estimate, a value of 1.0 is recommended. A different value may be used; e.g., if DTOR
is much greater than 1.0, primarily rotational deflection will occur; if DTOR is much
less than 1.0, primarily linear deflection will occur.
8. If a SPLINE2 element only references one grid point, the job will fail without a message
in the GI Module.
9. The USAGE field allows you to specify that the particular spline interpolant defined in
this entry is to be used for just the force transformation (FORCE) or just the
displacement transformation (DISP) or for both (BOTH).

In general, the two transforms are done with distinct matrices. Only when ALL splines
T
are of type BOTH is the familiar transpose relationship [ GPgk ] = [ GDkg ] satisfied.
The default behavior (BOTH for all splines) is compatible with version of MSC.Nastran
prior to Version 70.5.
In general, the USAGE field can be used to apply aerodynamic forces to the structure
from aerodynamic panels that are intended NOT to move (USAGE=FORCE) or to
apply structural displacements to aerodynamic grids whose forces are not to be applied
to the structure (USAGE=DISP). The DISP option is somewhat esoteric in that you are

then suggesting that the aeroelastic effect of the surface is important while its forces are
not. (In other words, only the forces arising from tis effects on other surfaces is
important.) While there may be circumstances where this is true, it is unlikely. Take
care that you included all the FORCEs from aerodynamic panels that are important by
including them in either FORCE or BOTH spline(s). MSC.Nastran will NOT issue a
warning unless ALL forces are omitted. All displacements may be omitted without
warning (and is a means to perform "rigid aerodynamic" analyses).

SUPORT ID1 C1 ID2 C2 ID3 C3 ID4 C4
Example:
SUPORT 16 215
Field Contents
IDi Grid or scalar point identification number. (Integer > 0)
Ci Component numbers. (Integer 0 or blank for scalar points. Any unique
combination of the Integers 1 through 6 for grid points with no embedded blanks.)
Remarks:
1. The SUPORT entry specifies reference degrees-of-freedom for rigid body motion. It is
not intended to be used in place of a constraint (i.e., SPCi entry or PS on the GRID
entry).
2. SUPORT and/or SUPORT1 entries are required to perform inertia relief in static
analysis (SOLs 1 and 101).
In SOL 1, the presence of a SUPORT or selection of a SUPORT1 entry automatically
invokes inertia relief analysis.
In SOL 101, PARAM,INREL,-1 must also be specified or the SUPORTi entries will be
treated as constraints.
3. Be careful not to spell SUPORT with two Ps.
4. Degrees-of-freedom specified on this entry form members of the mutually exclusive r-
set. They may not be specified on other entries that define mutually exclusive sets. See
“Degree-of-Freedom Sets” on page 1663 for a list of these entries.
5. From 1 to 24 support degrees-of-freedom may be defined on a single entry.
6. See “Rigid Body Supports” on page 281 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual for a
discussion of supported degrees-of-freedom (members of the r-set).
7. An alternative to SUPORT is the SUPORT1 entry, which is requested by the SUPORT1
Case Control command.

TYPE Type of damping units. (Character: “G”, “CRIT”, or “Q”; Default is “G”)
fi Natural frequency value in cycles per unit time. (Real > 0.0)
gi Damping value. (Real)
Remarks:
1. Modal damping tables must be selected with the Case Control command
SDAMPING = TID.
2. The frequency values, fi, must be specified in either ascending or descending order, but
not both.
3. Discontinuities may be specified between any two points except the two starting points
or two end points. For example, in Figure 4-10 discontinuities are allowed only
between points f2 through f7. Also, if g is evaluated at a discontinuity, then the average
value of g is used. In Figure 4-10, the value of g at f = f3 is g = ( g3 + g4 ) ⁄ 2 .
4. At least one continuation entry must be specified.
5. Any fi or gi entry may be ignored by placing “SKIP” in either of the two fields used for
that entry.
6. The end of the table is indicated by the existence of “ENDT” in either of the two fields
following the last entry. An error is detected if any continuations follow the entry
containing the end-of-table flag “ENDT”.
7. The TABDMP1 uses the algorithm
g = gT ( f )

where f is input to the table and g is returned. The table look-up g T ( f ) is performed
using linear interpolation within the table and linear extrapolation outside the table
using the last two end points. See Figure 4-10. No warning messages are issued if table
data is input incorrectly.

8. This form of damping is used only in modal formulations of complex eigenvalue
analysis, frequency response analysis, or transient response analysis. The type of
damping used depends on the solution sequence (structural damping is displacement-
dependent, and viscous damping is velocity-dependent). See “Formulation of
Dynamic Equations in SubDMAP GMA” on page 350 of the MSC.Nastran Reference
Manual for the equations used.
9. PARAM,KDAMP may be used in solution sequences that perform modal frequency
and modal complex analysis, to select the type of damping.

the units of fraction of critical damping C ⁄ C 0 . If TYPE is “Q”, the damping values gi
are in the units of the amplification or quality factor, Q. These constants are related by
the following equations:
C ⁄ C0 = g ⁄ 2

SID Set identification number. (Integer > 0)
EXCITEID Identification number of DAREA or SPCD entry set or a thermal load set (in heat
transfer analysis) that defines A. See Remarks 2. and 3. (Integer > 0)
DELAY Defines time delay τ . (Integer > 0, real or blank) If it is a non-zero integer, it
represents the identification number of DELAY Bulk Data entry that defines τ . If
it is real, then it directly defines the value of τ that will be used for all degrees of
freedom that are excited by this dynamic load entry. See also Remark 9.
TYPE Defines the type of the dynamic excitation. See Remarks 2. and 3. (Integer,
character or blank; Default = 0)
TID Identification number of TABLEDi entry that gives F ( t ) . (Integer > 0)
Remarks:
1. Dynamic excitation sets must be selected with the Case Control command DLOAD =
SID.
2. The type of the dynamic excitation is specified by TYPE (field 5) according to the
following table:
TYPE TYPE of Dynamic Excitation
0, L, LO, LOA or LOAD Applied load (force or moment) (Default)
1, D, DI, DIS, or DISP Enforced displacement using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
2, V, VE, VEL or VELO Enforced velocity using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
3, A, AC, ACC or ACCE Enforced acceleration using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
Main Index
844
3. TYPE (field 5) also determines the manner in which EXCITEID (field 3) is used by the
program as described below
Excitation specified by TYPE is applied load
• There is no LOADSET request in Case Control
EXCITEID may also reference DAREA, static, and thermal load set entries
• There is a LOADSET request in Case Control
The program may also reference static and thermal load set entries specified by
the LID or TID field in the selected LSEQ entries corresponding to the
EXCITEID.
Excitation specified by TYPE is enforced motion
• There is no LOADSET request in Case Control
EXCITEID will reference SPCD entries. If such entries indicate null enforced
motion, the program will then assume that the excitation is enforced motion
using large mass and will reference DAREA and static and thermal load set
entries just as in the case of applied load excitation.
• There is a LOADSET request in Case Control
The program will reference SPCD entries specified by the LID field in the
selected LSEQ entries corresponding to the EXCITEID. If such entries indicate
null enforced motion, the program will then assume that the excitation is
enforced motion using large mass and will reference static and thermal load set
entries corresponding to the DAREA entry in the selected LSEQ entries, just as
in the case of applied load excitation.
4. EXCITEID may reference sets containing QHBDY, QBDYi, QVECT, QVOL and
TEMPBC entries when using the heat transfer option.
5. TLOAD1 loads may be combined with TLOAD2 loads only by specification on a
DLOAD entry. That is, the SID on a TLOAD1 entry may not be the same as that on a
TLOAD2 entry.
6. SID must be unique for all TLOAD1, TLOAD2, RLOAD1, RLOAD2, and ACSRCE
entries.
7. If the heat transfer option is used, the referenced QVECT entry may also contain
references to functions of time, and therefore A may be a function of time.
8. If TLOADi entries are selected in SOL 111 or 146 then a Fourier analysis is used to
transform the time-dependent loads on the TLOADi entries to the frequency domain
and then combine them with loads from RLOADi entries. Then the analysis is
performed as a frequency response analysis but the solution and the output are
converted to and printed in the time domain. Please refer to “Fourier Transform” on
page 176 of the MSC.Nastran Advanced Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide.
9. If DELAY is blank or zero, τ will be zero.

C Exponential coefficient. (Real; Default = 0.0)
B Growth coefficient. (Real; Default = 0.0)
Remarks:
1. Dynamic excitation sets must be selected with the Case Control command with
DLOAD=SID.
Main Index
846
2. The type of the dynamic excitation is specified by TYPE (field 5) according to the
following table:
TYPE TYPE of Dynamic Excitation
0, L, LO, LOA or LOAD Applied load (force or moment) (Default)
1, D, DI, DIS, or DISP Enforced displacement using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
2, V, VE, VEL or VELO Enforced velocity using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
3, A, AC, ACC or ACCE Enforced acceleration using large mass or SPC/SPCD data
3. TYPE (field 5) also determines the manner in which EXCITEID (field 3) is used by the
program as described below
Excitation specified by TYPE is applied load
• There is no LOADSET request in Case Control
EXCITEID may also reference DAREA, static and thermal load set entries
• There is a LOADSET request in Case Control
The program may also reference static and thermal load set entries specified by
the LID or TID field in the selected LSEQ entries corresponding to the
EXCITEID.
Excitation specified by TYPE is enforced motion
• There is no LOADSET request in Case Control
EXCITEID will reference SPCD entries. If such entries indicate null enforced
motion, the program will then assume that the excitation is enforced motion
using large mass and will reference DAREA and static and thermal load set
entries just as in the case of applied load excitation.
• There is a LOADSET request in Case Control
The program will reference SPCD entries specified by the LID field in the
selected LSEQ entries corresponding to the EXCITEID. If such entries indicate
null enforced motion, the program will then assume that the excitation is
enforced motion using large mass and will reference static and thermal load set
entries specified by the LID or TID field in the selected LSEQ entries
corresponding to the EXCITEID, just as in the case of applied load excitation.
4. EXCITEID (field 3) may reference sets containing QHBDY, QBDYi, QVECT, and QVOL
and TEMPBC entries when using the heat transfer option.
5. If DELAY is blank or zero, τ will be zero.
6. TLOAD1 loads may be combined with TLOAD2 loads only by specification on a
DLOAD entry. That is, the SID on a TLOAD1 entry may not be the same as that on a
TLOAD2 entry.
7. SID must be unique for all TLOAD1, TLOAD2, RLOAD1, RLOAD2, and ACSRCE
entries.
Main Index
CHAPTER 847
8. If the heat transfer option is used, the referenced QVECT entry may also contain
references to functions of time, and therefore A may be a function of time.
9. If TLOADi entries are selected in SOL 111 or 146 then a Fourier analysis is used to
transform the time-dependent loads on the TLOADi entries to the frequency domain
and them combine them with loads from RLOADi entries. Then the analysis is
performed as a frequency response analysis but the solution and the output are
converted to and printed in the time domain. In this case, B will be rounded to the
nearest integer. Please refer to “Fourier Transform” on page 176 of the MSC.Nastran
Advanced Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide.
10. The continuation entry is optional.

TRIM Trim Variable Constraint
Specifies constraints for aeroelastic trim variables. The SPLINE1 and SPLINE4 entries need to be
here for the finite plate spline.
Format:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
TRIM ID MACH Q LABEL1 UX1 LABEL2 UX2 AEQR
LABEL3 UX3 -etc.-
Example:
TRIM 1 0.9 100. URDD3 1.0 ANGLEA 7.0 0.0
ELEV 0.2
Field Contents
SID Trim set identification number. (Integer > 0)
MACH Mach number. (Real > 0.0 and ≠ 1.0)
Q Dynamic pressure. (Real > 0.0)
LABELi The label identifying aerodynamic trim variables defined on an AESTAT or
AESURF entry. (Character)
UXi The magnitude of the aerodynamic extra point degree-of-freedom. (Real)
AEQR Flag to request a rigid trim analysis. A value of 0.0 provides a rigid trim analysis,
see Remark 4. (Real > 0.0 and < 1.0, Default =1.0)
Remarks:
1. The TRIM entry must be selected with the Case Control command TRIM=SID.
2. The selected TRIM entry specifies the constrained values of the listed extra point
degrees-of-freedom (“trim variables”) for a particular loading condition. These
variables are listed on AESTAT and/or AESURF entries.
3. If MACH is less than 1.0, then the Doublet-Lattice theory is used. If MACH is greater
than 1.0, then the ZONA51 theory is used.
4. EXCITEID may reference sets containing QHBDY, QBDYi, QVECT, QVOL and
TEMPBC entries when using the heat transfer option.

CHAPTER 849
TSTEP Transient Time Step
Defines time step intervals at which a solution will be generated and output in transient analysis.
Format:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
TSTEP SID N1 DT1 NO1
N2 DT2 NO2
-etc.-
Example:
TSTEP 2 10 .001 5
9 0.01 1
Field Contents
SID Set identification number. (Integer > 0)
Ni Number of time steps of value DTi. (Integer > 1)
DTi Time increment. (Real > 0.0)
NOi Skip factor for output. Every NOi-th step will be saved for output. (Integer > 0;
Default = 1)
Remarks:
1. TSTEP entries must be selected with the Case Control command TSTEP = SID.
2. Note that the entry permits changes in the size of the time step during the course of the
solution. Thus, in the example shown, there are 10 time steps of value .001 followed by
9 time steps of value .01. Also, the user has requested that output be recorded for t =
0.0, .005, .01, .02, .03, etc.
3. See “Guidelines for Effective Dynamic Analysis” on page 265 of the MSC.Nastran
Basic Dynamic Analysis User’s Guide for a discussion of considerations leading to the
selection of time steps.
4. In modal frequency response analysis (SOLs 111 and 146), this entry is required only
when TLOADi is requested; i.e., when Fourier methods are selected.
5. The maximum and minimum displacement at each time step and the SIL numbers of
these variables can be printed by altering DIAGON(30) before the transient module
TRD1 and by altering DIAGOFF(30) after the module. This is useful for runs that
terminate due to overflow or excessive run times.
6. For heat transfer analysis in SOL 159, use the TSTEPNL entry.

APPENDIX
Parameters for Aeroelastic Analysis
E and Design
■ Overview
Main Index
852
5.1 Overview
PARAM Bulk Data entries are used in the DMAP sequences for input of miscellaneous data
and to request special features. The most important parameters used in aeroelastic analysis
and design are described in alphabetical order. The complete description of all parameters
is contained in “Parameters” on page 601 of the MSC.Nastran Quick Reference Guide, and the
used should refer to that section for current features.
G Default = 0.0
G specifies the uniform structural damping coefficient in the formulation
of dynamics problems. To obtain the value for the parameter G, multiply
the critical damping ratio, C ⁄ C o , by 2.0. PARAM,G is not recommended
for use in hydroelastic or heat problems. If PARAM,G is used in transient
analysis, PARAM,W3 must be greater than zero or PARAM,G will be
ignored (see Section 9.4.10 of the MSC.Nastran Reference Manual).
GUSTAERO Default = 1
If gust loads are to be computed, for example on restart, set GUSTAERO
to -1. The default is recommended if no gust loads are to be computed
after the flutter analysis.
HFREQ Default = 1.+30
The parameters LFREQ and HFREQ specify the frequency range in cycles
per unit time (LFREQ is the lower limit and HFREQ is the upper limit) of
the modes to be used in the modal formulations. Note that the default for
HFREQ will usually include all vectors computed. A related parameter is
LMODES.
KDAMP Default = 1
If KDAMP is set to -1, viscous modal damping is entered into the complex
stiffness matrix as structural damping. See Section 9.4.10 of the
MSC.Nastran Reference Manual.
LFREQ Default = 0.0
Se HFREQ.
LMODES Default = 0
LMODES is the number of lowest modes to use in a modal formulation. If
LMODES = 0, the retained modes are determined by the parameters
LFREQ and HFREQ. In coupled fluid-structure analysis, LMODES is
applied only to the structural portion of the model.
Main Index
CHAPTER E 853
Parameters for Aeroelastic Analysis and Design
MACH Default = 0.0
Mach number. If more than one Mach number was used to compute
aerodynamic matrices, the one closest to MACH will be used in dynamic
aeroelastic response analysis. The default causes the matrices computed at
the lowest MACH number to be used.
OPGTKG Default = -1
OPGTKG > -1 prints the matrix for the interpolation between the
structural and aerodynamic degrees of freedom.
OPPHIPA Default = -1
This parameter is valid in the flutter (SOLs 75 and 145) and aeroelastic
(SOLs 76 and 146) solution sequences. OPPHIPA > -1 and a
DISPLACEMENT command in the Case Control Section will output the
real vibration modes at all degrees of freedom, including the aerodynamic
degrees of freedom.
OPTEXIT Default = 0
In SOL 200, especially during the checkout of the analysis model and the
design optimization input data (design model), it may be desirable to exit
the solution sequence at certain points before proceeding with full
optimization. OPTEXIT may be se to values of 1 through 6 and -4. The
description of OPTEXIT values follow.
OPTEXIT
Description
Value
0 Do not exit. Proceed with optimization.
1 Exit after the initialization of the analysis and design
model but before finite element analysis begins.
2 Exit after finite element analysis and initial design
response and shape basis vector processing.
3 Exit after design constraint evaluation and screening.
4 Exit after design sensitivity analysis and print the
matrix of design sensitivity coefficients (DSCM2).
-4 Exit after design sensitivity analysis and write the
data blocks related to sensitivity coefficients (DSCM2
and DSCMCOL) to an external file using the
OUTPUT2 and OUTPUT4 modules. See related
parameters ITAPE, IUNIT, and OMAXR.
Main Index
854
OPTEXIT
Description
Value
5 Exit after the first approximation optimization of the
design model.
6 Exist after the first update of the analysis model
based on the first approximate optimization of the
design model.
PRINT Default = YES
PARAM,PRINT,NO suppresses the automatic printing of the flutter
summary in flutter analysis.
Q Default = 0.0
Q specifies the dynamic pressure. Q must be specified in aeroelastic
response analysis (SOLutions 76 and 146) and the default value will cause
a User Fatal Message.
SKPAMP Default = 0
For Solutions 145, 146, and 200, SKPAMP = -1 suppresses all unsteady
aerodynamic calculations. The automatic restart of structural solution
sequences performs a similar function without this parameter. Specifying
it ensures the suppression of the calculations, regardless of the
determination of the automatic restart.
For Solutions 75 and 76, SKPAMP < 0 suppresses the calculation of the
generalized aerodynamic matrices. The use should specify SKPAMP = -1
whenever a restart is to use the real vibration modes and aerodynamic
matrices from a previous run. Related parameters include DLOAD,
NEWDYN, NODATA, PLOT, RESDUAL, and SDATA. These entries
must be resubmitted in the Bulk Data Section for restart runs.
VREF Default = 1.0
In modal flutter analysis, the velocities are divided by VREF to convert
units or to compute flutter indices.
