Hi Newbie in mining industry,
I would like to ask if there are rules or guidelines(standard) in designing three apron feeders in gravity stockpile reclaim?
Also guidelines in determining/calculating distances between the three apron feeders.
Thanks in advance. Highly appreciated any inputs...
Just want to add that the box will be in full liquid condition(worst case scenario) with an SG of 2.0. So definitely the support is the concern. though overstress(linear analysis) has already been noticed in the bottom plate(additional stiffeners or larger flat bar is the option for the redesign).
@GregLocock , noted. apparently stresses are not high enough to cause the bolts to slip, linear is enough. thanks btw.
@FEA way , I'll try a solid model if I still have the time but I do get your point. bolt size is already overdesigned. thanks.
@jhardy1, I'll try the 2 freedom cases you...
Good day to all FEA experts.
I am currently working in a Box with a 6 plate-type supports that is bolted on beams.(Attach is the model of the Box).
I am quite confused on assigning the restraint/constraint for the degrees of freedom of the nodes.
I understand that the support will be fixed type...
@IDS, thanks for passing by. I read many of your replies.
I tried the "automatic sub-incrementation" of Strand 7 particularly the Displacement scaling and Displacement Control.
The solver proceeded but the iterations were painful. more than 50(about 15mins before I stopped it).
I agree with what...
Good Day.
To All Strand 7 FEA experts,
I am using Strand 7 to perform Nonlinear Analysis in a Plate Model where I encountered this error:
ERROR[ 13]:Solution has diverged. Rotation at node 7372 (1.9370E+08 deg) is too large.
and this warning.
*WARNING[ 73]:Internal angle is out of range in...
