We are looking at switching from Mathcad to some other software for calculations. A plus would be enhanced matrix manipulation capabilities, visualization capabilities etc. But, the first requirement is to have similar capabilities to mathCAD in presenting simple calculations (and handling...
Considering a series of beam188 elements (like a cantileavered beam). If the end element is selected, the prnld will return forces and moments. If additional adjacent elements are selected, and the prnld command is reissued, the nodal forces for the same end element change. Does anyone have...
Does anyone know of a software/utlity that will output cpu history or average cpu usage over an extended timeframe to a file. I am doing a great deal of benchmarks, and one thing I would like to include is the average % cpu usage for each run (couple of hours per run). I would even be happy if...
I have the Atlas of Fatigue Curves, and Mil-hdbk-5, but I cannot find any data on A2 tool steel SN curves. I am trying to find the cycles to failure for A2 tool steel hardened to Rockwell 52, and subjected to 100KSI stress. Estimated UTS is 260ksi, yield-190ksi. Part is 1.5" dia.
1. Is there...
I would like to purchase a thorough (as thorough as available) reference for fatigue curves. I was planning on purchasing the Atlas of Fatigue Curves, however, I noticed that ASM no longer sells the book (of course available elsewhere), but now ASM has a related book: Handbook 19, Fatigue and...
I have a simple part I am trying to analyze. The problem would be similar to a u shaped part with opossing forces at the legs (final deformed part would look more like an o). I would prefer to use workbench for this analysis, but could switch to Classic Ansys if it is required. The 'legs' are...
We are considering an upgrade to Cosmos Advanced Professional (from Designer, which comes with solidworks premium). The deciding factor will likely be the 'beam' geometry type analysis (referenced on the capabilities chart). Currently we recreate our large frames in ansys using line elements...
