Dear members, I am designing the top support of a column with ASME VIII div. par.5 elastic approach. Idea of the system is attached. Building the FEA model is not a problem: my concern is on theory. Loads on my support are the sum of a primary component ( weight of pipe ) and a secondary...

Thanks

Thanks for your advise. I seen the website but problem still remains: mesh appears correct...

Did you ever use ANSYS to evaluate Euro Code compliance of a silo / a structure? Idea is have some basic loads ( pressure, weight, wind, earthquake ) and starting from them evaluate al long list of combinations. Coefficients and combinations are clear, this is not the topic of this post. If I...

Hi, I am new of the forum and I posted the following post on "Mechanical Engineering - Heat transfer" but after that I found this section, dedicated to ANSYS that is more correct I think. So I moved the post here deleting the old one on the heat transfer section. Currently I am involved on a...

Thanks for explanation TGS4, my doubts are closed. I seen you are from Becht Engineering: I read so much articles from you... Nice to meet you.

Hi TGS4, with design conditions are you referring to the real design condition of the equipment ( 10 bar ) I think, right? So under deformation check no amplification factors ( 24 bars ) has to be considered. Frankly speaking I agree with you but there is a part in the code that appears not so...

Good afternoon, I am currently working on a FEA of a rectangular vessel. Idea is validate it by ASME VIII div.2 par 5 using elastic plastic approach. I allready done this activity so combination, safety rate to apply are clear. No problem on convergence: that means vessel is ok considering...
