I need to analyze essentially a winch cable around its drum. It is a single layer of cable,
Is there a way to apply a varying pressure in Ansys Structural around the drum surface in line with the cable wraps?
Thanks

And now that you have posted on a public forum that you feel a project is unsafe, you may be responsible for whatever deaths that occur if you don't report it. (because you have openly admitted it in public)... just a thought.
5% this year, it was 4 months late, but was paid retroactive to my start date. Had a $5k bonus early in the year and will probably be getting a 15%-20% bonus later this year.

You would be better off finding one used for sale. It is unlikely you can economicly make nozzles and orifaces, and the intensifier is simple but would still need quite a bit of work to make (cylinders, hydraulics, controls, and check valves). You could build the robot easily enough but I...
I am looking for a coating that can be applied to a cardboard cylinder that will ultimatly be submerged in water. The coating needs to extend the time needed for the water to soak through the cardboard but not make the cardboard waterproof.
It needs to be non-toxic as well.
Any info would be...

'Mark's Hanbook for Mechanical Engineers' has a pretty good set of equations for the amount of torque an interferance fit can take.
I'll try to get the particulars together if you want.
Let me know
