    Minimize function

    Thanks rmixzz! If I change the constrains to "in" as suggested the minimum function works but when I change the constarin URatio to lower than the initially calculated value before optimization, the minimum function doesnt work.. Please see the attached worksheet. Iam trying to write a minimum...

    Mathematical Error or Units

    >12 is just a constant and the units of I{k} must be in^4 or ft^4 (In the attached worksheet, it was my mistake I should have written in^4 (highlighted in green)) I should get I.k or I.c value 2264 in^4 or 0.109 ft^4 not 3.5*10^4 in^4 or 1.7 ft^4 as calculated by mathcad Thanks..

    Mathematical Error or Units

    Hello, can someone point out the mistake in the attached worksheet. I highlighted the mistakes in yeloow(on the right half of worksheet). I have very simple equations but the mathcad is giving me a different answer to that of manual calcualtion.. Also, the mathcad is rounding off 1.953X10^3 to...

    Reddefining a Variable

    For some reaon it was not displaying the value of Fy after redefining the variable. I was been told by my senior (who initiated me to use MATHCAD)that its always good to write in one text block so that its easy to copy paste in report or create reports. and everything lines up perfectly.. I...

    SACS Analysis for tower modelled as a 2d frame and truss

    Iam not familiar with dynamics but I will suggest you to try all joints as master (222222) except boundary joints which should be either pinned/fixed. For extracting mode shapes all the main joints should be assigned as master. Thanks.

    Ring Stiffner Need

    Can someone tell me when we have to use ring stiffeners??. Iam checking the previous projects, where they had used internal ring stiffeners in Cylindrical legs of tubular members for jackups. Does API says anything related to need for ring stiffener?? Is it related to Geometry? Also, if we are...

    Tapered Beams

    Are there any design guidelines for tapered beams. I had a situation where a long cantilever beam made of two different sections. If I want to taper the bigger section to the smaller. Does any code tells about this?? Thanks

    Dynamic Analysis...

    Hello, I never studied Dynamic analysis & all my exp is limited to Static Analysis. Recently I switched my job, where I had to work on dynamic analysis too. I know that Dynamic is a complex subject & cannot be mastered in a short span of time. Can someone refer me a refernce material where it...
