Hi All, Can someone please advise if SolidWorks Simulation 2011 is capable of doing structural analysis with different load cases and load combinations (with vessel accelerations)? I want to use it for designing and analysing an offshore platform made up of beams, columns, plates and trusses...

Hi All, I am designing a 12,000 psi pump, incorporating a directional control valve. I am not sure on what type of high pressure seals I have to use. Do I have to use all of them example, O-rings, wipers, U- cups? Can someone please advise on a better idea? Regards, SubseaDeep

Thanks for your comments gentlemen, appreciate it.

Hi All, 1. In a telescopic boom, what material is used between the two tubes so that when the inner hollow tube moves out, it does not rub against the outer hollow tube. 2. How far is the inner hollow tube made to stop, and how? 3. Is there any engineering literature available on this type of...

Hi All, Suppose a person owns a company in his name and is working as a consultant, so it is basically a one man company. After that he buys an engineering software, in his name (NOT under the company's name). Suppose in the future, his work expands, and he hires a temporary engineer. Can the...

Hi All, I am trying to buy AutoCAD 2006 as I do not have the budget for buying the latest version. Can someone advise which are the legitimate resellers of AutoCAD, or any such company whom I can approach? Also, if I want to buy an old version of SolidWorks, like SW 2006, where can I find a...

Hi All, Thanks all for your inputs. Dhengr, I agree with your comments. I normally tend to keep simple weld designs/geometry. But looking at past equipment which were designed by previous engineers, it seems that the welding design is overdone. Regards, SubseaDeep

Hi All, These days all main software come with lot of additonal modules, or have different modules for different features (the main ones being NEi Nastran, Abaqus, Comsol). 1. Can someone please advise which software have all the features in just one package so that you don't need to run after...

DVD, I am looking for welding calculators which can calculate the stresses developed due to the loads on the welds....any help would be appreciated... Thanks, SubseaDeep

Hi All, Can some one please advise which are the best welding calculators available? I have an excel sheet welding calculator, but it is quite cumbersome. I am looking for some more user friendly calculator. Any recommendations please? Thanks. SubseaDeep

Hi All, I appreciate your answers. rb1957, the main thing which we are looking into is to find the deck reactions, due to the loads generated by the subframe. 1. Normally the subframe will be supported by some beams and columns which are underneath the deck. We design the subframe, and give...

Hi All, I had some questions. In our company we provide subsea services and offshore oil & gas engineering. In this we use A-frames and Winches which are placed on vessels/ships/oil platform decks. But we do not place our A-frame and Winches directly on the deck or doubler pads. We use...

Thank you Ussuri. Man008, in our industry we have some launch frames and offshore structures made of beams and columns and braces. We have to analyse these launch frames and structures and study loadings and reactions of these structures on the vessel deck. As per DNV, ABS we apply...

Hi Man, I am looking for calculations on Offshore & Marine Structures. Thanks for replying. Regards, Lakhvinder

Hi All, Can some please advise which are the best well known engineering books on "Design of Offshore & Marine Structures" which I can buy? I am not looking for "ship design" books, but only looking for structures which are placed on vessels, drill ships, semi-submersibles, supply boats etc...

Hi All, 1. I am confused with different Abaqus products, as they don't have a product matrix which shows which product is capable of doing what with respect to other sister products. Can someone please advise which Abaqus product is capable of doing the most, and have the full features of them...

Hi All, Thanks for your comments. BA, I will provide a sketch which will explain more. Herewego, I am not trying to save any buck, but just trying to get a finer idea on structural decks theoretically. Ish and Ron thanks for your comments. The main problem is that I am not being able to find a...

Hi All, Can someone please advise on some article which tells us how to calculate a deck's load capacity with stiffeners underneath it? For example, I have a half inch thick, A36 steel deck, and is 50 ft by 20 ft long. Along the length I have W8 I-beams spaced at 10 ft distance all along the...

Thanks for your answers. Mike, I am working on a design on a subsea tool which would be used at a depth of 3000 ft. Regards, SubseaDeep

Hi All, Can someone please advise: 1. How do the two metals behave when they are in contact subsea (salt water) at a great depth: a. Stainless Steel to Aluminum (subsea). b. Stainless Steel to Stainless Steel (subsea). c. Aluminum to Aluminum (subsea). d. Stainless Steel to hard anodized...
