    On how and where to insert command snippets inside Workbench mechanical

    Thanks Saikahirpara But I was actually looking for the associations between a given command and a branch in the tree itself. Not every command goes to the geometry branches. I can not find that in the manuals ijr

    On how and where to insert command snippets inside Workbench mechanical

    I am looking for a good reference on where and how the command snippets need to be inserted inside a Workbench mechanical tree. I do this all by trial-and-error. This one rejects the hacker-style method of learning stuff. I am not seeing progress at all. Help is needed. Any input will be highly...

    Workbench 19: Submodelling (?) error

    Friends I first prestressed the model using INISTATE. Then duplicated it. In the duplicate, I loaded the second model with displacement loading only. I linked the second model to the first so that I can retrieve the results from prestress loading. The linking was successful because the second...

    Ansys workbench structural:Two load steps different large displacement settings?

    Friends I apologize for the long post. I need to run 2 analyses in the same Structural analysis in workbench 19. 2. First I prestress the solid model without invoking large deflection using INISTATE Apdl snippet on a link180 element attached to the solid in the model. I can do this...

    Steel Deck In Large Floors Below Ground ? Your Experience

    Friends I wonder if anyone of you has designed/used composite steel-concrete decks for large floors below ground. We usually use concrete moment frames/walls and solid floor slabs on the concern that thinner concrete in steel decks will not provide good rigidity and diaphragm action, and that...

    3D GRID STRUCTURE (FRAMES)- Control Visibility In Autocad?

    My friends I have a 3D grid structure modelled in Autocad. That is, there are X planes, Y planes and Z planes (elevations). The only way I know I can view each single plane is by placing each in a separate layer, lock all then unlock the one I want to work with. Is there a better way you...

    Looking for a great resource on concrete cracking

    OK Jayrod12 A book that an inspector/repair team would refer to in dealing with cracks that appear in a reinforced concrete building or structure in general. Strange that in RC handbooks I have read there is not a chapter on this. Thanks

    Looking for a great resource on concrete cracking

    Friends I will appreciate if you suggest a solid book on the subject of cracking of reinforced concrete members, the practical side of it. respects ijr

    Cantilever Retaining Wall-How much top movement to tolerate?

    Friends I have a cantilever retaining wall with stem 23ft (7m) high. Over time it has rotated and the top displacement is h/70, ie (4" or 10cm). Sizing shows it is OK statically except in the case of poor drainage. But drainage is poor. It looks good though.There seems to be no soil mass...

    Specifying Adhesives for Strengthening of RC beams

    My friends How does one specify epoxy adhesives for use to strengthen RC beams with steel plates? Sikadur -31 is popular in such applications among other adhesives, even used in post-tensioned girders. But what is the design parameter? Bond strength? Tensile strength to match that of concrete...

    Strengthening RC beam with externally bonded plates.

    My friends I am looking for good design references/guides on the strengthening of RC beam (for flexure and shear) using externally bonded plates. Theory and practice if possible. While FRP is well-covered, this one seems not to be. Thanks for your time. respects, IJR

    Best motivational quotes

    There is a problem with quotes just like with anything that is easy to abuse: they present a solution(a perspective) to a problem you do not have or currently is not of interest to you. It is like taking selfies, you just do it even if you do not really need it. So if you need a quote, get a...

    Checking calculations

    Sorry for joining late. I vote not to overdesign, instead: 1)Search hard to see if there exist already standardized stuff: a)Some place somewhere somebody solved a similar problem, executed it and catalogued their work, b)German engineers steel use standard tables the way engineers did in the...
