I have to model a sea land box for a garage conversion with some of the walls removed. What's the best approach to represent or model the walls in GT Strudl? My initial plans were to just assume them to be a flat plate, which allows the members to be continually connected in the analysis.
Having some troubles with a simple model that I need a second look at. I am not sure if my contacts are screwed up or not but I cannot get anything to contact. I have applied the load many different ways and have many different boundary condition attempts on the pipe ends to maintain some...
I have an FEA model of a generic pipe support problem I face and I am looking to see if anyone has any insight as to how to possibly run calcs by hand? Using Roark's for stress on a hollow cylinder as a line will fail the pipe due to local stress but an FEA model shows a lower stress as the...
Hello,
I have been tasked with doing a quick guesstimate/gut feel check of some piping using provided loads. I have a load table for sustained loads and occasional loads and need to evaluate sustained, occasional, and stress range due to expansion. I am encountering some good tips but I am...
