    The document discusses different ways to model a honeycomb sandwich structure in Patran for flutter analysis. It notes that simply using composite material definitions may not properly capture transverse shear stiffness effects. A link is provided to a document explaining how to model honeycomb cores using solid or shell elements.

    The text discusses different ways to model sandwich beams with honeycomb cores in Patran and Nastran, including issues with capturing transverse shear stiffness. It also provides a link with information on modeling honeycomb structure.

    There are several ways to model sandwich structure discussed, including using composite properties but not fully capturing transverse shear effects. The optimal method would model the individual layers and cores separately.

    The provided link contains a document with information on modeling honeycomb structure in Patran, including defining the individual facesheets and core layers with different material properties.

    Hi guys!!
    I'm working with PATRAN and I wanna model a sandwich beam with honeycomb core. but I don't know how to model it in PATRAN? I used COMPOSITE in material and
    defined facesheet and core !!
    I want to know if it is a good way to define a sandwich beam ?
    I want to have a flutter analysis at the end !!
    Please help me what to do !!
    Thank you all in advance .

    There are several ways to model sandwich structure. You will not be able to capture the effects of transverse shear stiffness with that approach though. If that does not
    matter to you, then your approach may be sufficient.

    Dear Brian,
    Thank you a lot ! but I just for checking, you mean that in this way that I said, the transverse shear modulus does not exit !! I'm sorry, but could you please explain more
    . I'm a rookie .
    Thank you again,Brian.
