Thanks for the responses. I'd have given more information about the system but its one of those cases where no one knows (more precisely, its going on a pumping skid and each site could be different). The discharge could go to a 6" or 3" line and the distance of this could be close or a long way...

Oh, Water (S.G. 1.0) at ambient temperature,

Hi all, I would love it if someone could give me a couple of pointers. I'm selecting a centrifugal pump for a pump skid. The pump discharges at about 100 psi (70 meters of head)from a 1 1/2" outlet. I then need to reduce up to a 3" line size. Does the change in line size (1 1/2" to 3") affect...

Thanks FeX32. I did some reading and it seems that for other CAD platforms you need to use the API utility.

Hi all. I'm new to Simulink. I have a CAD model generated in Solid Edge that I'd like import into SimMechanics. I see there is a link tool for Inventor, SW and ProE. Can I manually import my SE model into SimMechanics? SE only lets me save files as a .plmxml and not a .xml as far as I can tell...

Unfortunately I don't much of a say in what happens to the methane. If I'm told to flare then that's what will happen, and at the moment that's the way its looking. Its not ideal for many reasons but there aren't many options. As far as venting straight to atmosphere, well if the regulations...

Thanks for the pointer on the thermal oxidizer, I'll take a look at that. JL

I have quite a bit of methane I'd like to convert to CO2, water or something else that's not readily combustible. I'd prefer to not have to burn the methane, though I realize combustion is the obvious answer. A flare is just not practical in the location where the methane is generated. Disposing...

My company is considering ANSYS Workbench. The salesman has suggested (to keep the price down) that if we get the CAD interface then we don't require designmodeler. Is this a fair statement? I am worried that without designmodeler we won't be able to easily deal with geometry issues like...

I work for a small engineering company and we design equipment for a process sector. While we have a workshop for assembly, we outsource our manufacturing (fabrication/machining) to local shops, the management of which is my responsibility. The items we outsource are often one-offs and low...
