    How to analyse this chain and linkage system

    Folks thanks for the advice so far. I agree with earlier comments thats easier to just go out an look at the silly thing and get results but I cant. Some one else in the company is doing that and I get asked to come up with the anwsers... I have asked for a video for future reference though...

    How to get the Second moment of Inertia of a shape in NX

    I have two shapes that are not exactly easy to Get the I value for. One is like a tent shape, 5mm thick. Triangular/ hinge at the top with two flanges on either side. In the middle of the tent there is an open rib or web to give the tent more rigidity and stiffner. I have tried the analyis...

    Column Design Questions

    Euler or Johnson..? The columns are short about .6m to 0.9m I am inclined to use Johnson from what I was taught at college. when comparing the slenderness ratio with the column constant they both come out saying use Johnson. Any structural guys out there have a good argument about each...
