Too Clarify: EPCM stands for "Engineering Procurement Construction Management". In other words, I am a Project Engineer/Manager on a Natural Gas Project. I am not an expert in the Natural Gas Sector but would like to be able to understand all components much better (down to the design process).
I am currently in the capacity of EPCM within the natural Gas Sector. I am looking for two things.
1) Book/article that would help me understand the processes from drilling to final product.
2) Understanding the placement of valves,pumps (and types) etc; and understanding spec breaks and...
How should one obtain (i.e ask for) funding from their employer for education that will greatly benefit themselves and the company???
Also, let’s say funding was denied and one were to pay for the education themselves, how should one seek reimbursement for the new value that they will be...
I have modeled four objects(1,2,3,4). Object 1 and 2 are a perfect match (connected) while Object 3 and Object 4 are a perfect match (connected). Object 2 is placed in contact with object 3. Material Properties are:
Object 1 - Orthotropic
Object2 - Isotropic
Object 3 - Isotropic
Object 4 -...
I have typed in all the elastic stiffness parameters for Orthotropic material. I submitted my job for analysis and an error occur saying that:
Anisotropic material properties without local oreintation system have been defined for 2460 elements. Anisotripic material properties must be defined...
Does anyone know what material properties are needed to find the viscoelastic parameters g1*real, g1*imag, a,K1*real, k1*imag, and b. Where are the equations for calculating these parameters.
Thanks
Has anyone ever conducted a FEA on a human joint and have insight where I could find the material properties of bone(anisotropic)/cartilage(viscoelastic).
Thanks
As you may know bone is an anisotropic material. I am wondering if anyone has modeled bone or cartilage(viscoelastic) and can offer suggests on material properties. Any direction to a handbook of materials would be useful
Thanks
As you may know bone is an anisotropic material. I am wondering if anyone has used ABAQUS for modeling bone and can offer suggests on material properties that need to be inserted after the anisotropic material has been selected (23 parameters). Also any suggestions on modeling cartilage...
I am presently importing a 3D point cloud (about 170 3D points) into Unigraphics for the purpose of creating surface. I am able to create the surface using the "point cloud option". However I am unable to create the surface using the "through points option" because it says not enough rows for...
Hi Tim,
Thanks you very much for your reply. What I am trying to accomplish is just the surface (no pun intended) of something bigger. I would like to conduct an FEA on the surfaces in contact with one another while I fix one surface and manipulate the other.
Well, I followed your suggestion...
I have two surfaces created from points which were extracted from a digitizer. Surface 1 is visible on one layer and Surface 2 is visible on another layer. I have temporary coordinate systems that relate each surface to one another. I would like to bring the two surfaces within the same screen...
I have created an irregular surface and I would like to know how to create a solid object by extending the edges of the surface a distance in a perpendicular direction to that surface. Any insight would be great.
Thanks
