I am simulating a hydraulic swelling test on a metal sheet of thickness 1 mm.
why shall we use the type of element "S4R" for this kind of simulations ?

Experts,
Can I apply the ASME B31.3 formula for calculation of pipe's wall thickness to Stainless Steel ?
If yes, what is the allowable stress that I shall take ?

Experts,
We have to select the materials of an Amine Unit removing CO2 (Up to 80% removal) from the following gas:
Feed Gas composition:
H2O : 0.18 mol%
CO2 : 16.51 mol%
CO : 2.41 mol%
N2 : 0.30 mol%
H2 : 74.79 mol%
C1 : 5.81 mol%
Total: 100 mol%
Amine Used: DEDA+MDEA+water
How can I assess...
