It's a Link 180 element that is going nuts :P What if I put number of divisions on LINK 180 elements that are my cables to 1 ?

Any answer ? :(

I want to model beam with simple load on center of beam. I am using BEAM 188 element. The beam is suspended on two cables(tension only). For my cables, I am using LINK 180 element. How to connect LINK 180 elements and BEAM 188 element in Mechanical APDL so I don't get: A large pivot value...

Is it possible to import geometry from 3D modeling software as SolidWorks, make analysis in ANSYS Workbench, but get result similar to results that one can get by using ANSYS Mechanical APDL' Element table. (Fx,Fy,Fz,Mx,My,Mx). When I look at ANSYS Mechanical APDL Element Reference, SOLID186...

Yes. Same thing here.I also want to try both approaches just to learn. Spring with high stiffness is from my point of view also very good solution for my problem. One silly question, with springs which part defines end of the spring that is going to lug and which part defines end that will be...

Having trouble to import parts with sketched lines. I have imported it but it says volume 0 when trying to calculate. I have added this as command object: ET,matid,LINK 180 (part LINK ans 180 are without space but if I leve it with space forum adds link :P) KEYOPT,matid,3,1 SECTYPE,matid,LINK...

Thank You. I will try to find tutorials on that. One question is it possible to create sketches on imported step file for example ?

L__K, I was just suggesting that because I was reading some posts. To novice to completly understand. I dont know how to use Your approach. I am importing model in STEP file so I have also problems with defining line bodies in DM. But I am trying to figure it out (I am not modeling complete...

Gentlemen/Madams, what do you think about modeling lifting chains as cylindrical bars and then assigning LINK 180 element to that four cylinders - with tension only propertie and then fixing them in common intersection point. Problem is I don't know how to write that command. I know how to...

I am novice user. So thank you for Your time and patience. As I see it in my head, is it possible to simulate lifting and to get that reaction forces in each lug. How to support structure so that reaction forces are having direction same as chains. I hope I am describing reasonably :). How to...

Do I need to model chains. I am not interested, as stated in stresss distribution in chains, only in skid. But I want to simulate thet stress state when skid is liffted. I only know distribution of loads (in center of gravity) on skid, not reactions. Lifting will be done by chains with angle od...

Does anybody have any comments. Any help wold be good.

Hello guys/girls, here is what I have tried with skid mentioned in previous post. I don't still know what is right approach when you want to simulate and calculate stress state in skid or spreader that is lifted in air and loaded. Maybe non of avaialble approaches are good. How to find...

Thank you NRP99 and Pavel Urubcik. Your help is much appreciated (I am novice at analysis and this is only practice) . Pavel, I am using ANSYS Workkbench. I case that I am lifting for example skid with 4 lifting lugs, and load is defined in equipments centers of gravity points , what would be...

I have tried to do my analysis like this (as described in previous post).

Any help would be appreciated. I have tried to decompose reactions in two lugs that I have on spreader. Lifting is done with lifting chains and angle betwean spreader and chain is 60 degrees. So in ANSYS I will apply two forces per lifting lug that are components of reaction force (reaction...

I have STEP model of simple spreader (I beam) with two lifting lugs for my home assigment. I want to simulate liffting of 2 ton load with my spreader. How to simulate lifting (lifting chains)in Ansys Workbench 16 only to transfer movment. What constraints to use. I don't need stress in lifting...

Gentlemen thank You for your time. But main question here is pressure vessels. And as I can conclude from discussion Basis of design should be prepared from customer side. Am I correct ? I have problem to find NORSOK standard related to pressure vessels.

What if equipment needs to be rented. Is there some global guidence or it is platform owner specific. Thank you for your reply and time.

Can EN 13455-3 code be used for design of pressure vessel that will be part of machine temporary placed on offshore platform. Or should it be ASME BPVC Section VIII ? I am little confused regarding this problematic. Platform is for example in Norwegian continental shelf. Which code (standard)...
